The game takes place in the old days back in the 1700's. The main point of the game is to play and keep playing. The game never ends therefore you never run out of stuff to do. Get a job, keep your job, become the boss, tell your boss to eff off! Own a farm. Make wagons. Raise a family or have twenty wifes. Basically whatever you want to do. The game is based on choices , i.e. if you burn down a city there is no more city until you or the npcs rebuild. The game will be top of the line...Npcs reproduce at rates determined by the economy at the time being. They will eventually die or u can speed up the process by hacking a few away. You could be an thief and loot or be a thief guild master and have other thieves steal for you. Basically the point of the game is there are no limits, it is the closest thing to real life ever created. (and i picked to start it in the 1700's in case of more games...you could have the 1800's) But there are too many thoughts for the game to post on this so thats basically the outline of the game...Freedom...Freedom to do as u wish with what u wish..No more must follow storylines..just simple game play with quests set by npcs or you..and life!
