Well! A nice night, this one was.
Spent over ~6 hours in and around the starting tutorial lodge, plus various instances of player housing. Gathering, refining, chatting, making storage chests to alleviate inventory concerns, nearly starving to death in the process...
The fact that practically every conceivable action had some sort of leveling component made progress feel satisfyingly steady throughout the early goings, even if I probably didn't accomplish much in the grand scheme of things. No idea what kind of legs this title might have as a multi-week venture, but for a night's lark, it was pretty dang fun.
Thanks for the ride, lads. Hopefully I can catch a good few more sessions of it during its run!
