Hi everyone

Has any one seen this game
https://www.landmarkthegame.com/home (https://www.landmarkthegame.com/home)

I have received a Beta key (thanks to my stepson) and have been having a blast at it

Game concepts- hmm, i`d say its a cross between a mmo and minecraft (never played mine craft so hard to judge)

Basically its a sandbox game, you go out- dig, dig, dig earth, rock gems etc etc - chop, chop chop trees .. yeeees trees... must ... KILL!
And then you plant your flag to mark you claim, i believe you can expand this a lot.. with additional costs to keep it up ofc (there`s the mmo grind we all know), basically its 300 copper / day to maintain your 1st plot (not added any additional plots - yet).

Graphic wise it looks very good, and the building system is amazing, once you learn how to use it (via you tube) and you can make a "hut" in about 5 mins, if you want to live in a hut...
Now having explored the area and gawked at other peoples buildings- there are some seriously sick talented players... the galleon in the sky had my jaw on the floor- amazing piece of work!

There are loads of areas, with different levels of items to be found in each, i think there`s about 40 or so "islands" from tier 0 - 5, they may look small, but it will take a while to leg it across the map.

Overall
Its addictive, going out, killing trees and murdering ore and gems in order to build your palace- great fun!

Oh i found a intro from some random bloke, seems to give a decent 1st impression of the game
