So after reading one article after another about amazing in-game sales and realizing they were coming from this specific game, I've decided to give it a shot since aside from the economy it seems very in-depth. I'm currently downloading the game and I was wondering, what do you guys who have played it think about it?

unless they re-added sweating to be able to start getting money, you are going to have to spend real life money to even really start.

One thing you need to know about this "game" is it's not a fun game...unless you like collecting sweat for a month.

I'd say if you have 20 bucks to spend or so you can have fun for a while hunting/mining/doing whatever but this game in no way garuntee's you make money...it's a gamble whether or not you make more back than you spent.

Even so, this game has no depth, there is no co-operative activities, though it does have some amazing graphics.

Do you have any screen shots of the game?

I think I am gonna put some money in it if I end up not liking Aika Online CB2 on the 24th.. I was gonna try it right now but the installer says server is offline or something dunno..

it was a fun game when i played, but then again i payed 10$ to start it.

Also few people know theres another way for a noob to make money, there a place far away from newbie island, where oil barrels spawn, and basically you go and pick em up. then sell em to people... there a catch thou.... theres giant T-Rex monsters that try to eat you while doing it.

Sounds like the Middle East - minus the T-Rexes. Thanks for the tip.

I'm not planning on playing just for the purpose of making fun but more as a bonus, may invest a small amount if it turns out to be fun though.

It's a really enjoyable game if you like a challenge: playing smart can let you play for free or even, possibly, make some real cash out of it.
If you don't want to crunch numbers to be as economic as possible and spend time on gathering knowledge, making deals etc, you can ofcourse just deposit an amount of bucks each month and have fun with that .

Sweating, a way to generate 'free' money (slow progress, but still its free) is now reintroduced again after it was not available around the upgrade to the CryEngine2.
The developers are now aiming at making the game more 'beginner friendly' with their monthly updates. Last one had a new mission system that they are currently testing out.

Another thing I must say about this game is that I really like it's community / audience.

Be sure to try it out

It's not about being smart it's about being lucky, if you kill a monster and it drops 0.02 ped worth of loot it drops 0.02 ped worth of loot..there's no invisible skill involved in it.

However I suppose what your talking about is making sure that they choose the right decisions on what to spend the money on...for instance buy a pistol, and ammo, nothing else at first, as well as figuring out which places are good to kill monsters at and which ones you can kill.

I was lucky and had a friend who spent 40 bucks on it to get started *just to play around and have fun, not necessarily make money off of it* and we actually did have fun for about 2~3 days....he killed stuff with his pistol while I healed him with my pokeball lol but it got old since for one it takes a long time to really need to upgrade to a better weapon, for another it's very expensive to upgrade past the first weapon, and the fact that melee is not cost effective, leaving really the only thing you can do is use pistols and...forgot the other weapon that's fairly cheap...I think it's just laser or regular pistols I don't remember exactly.

But yah try it out anyway every "free" game is worth a try as long as you got time on your hands.
