How I learned to stop worrying and love the Trove

Lets face it , for many of MMO veterans the situation is not really peachy.
We have waited for that "next gen" mmo for years. But instead of getting it we have seen MMO genre topple down on our heads burdened by Copy WoW/EQ TM gameplay. We have forgot what MMOs used to be like, now playing mini emulation of quest based RPGs with watered down quests ( in order to spread content as much as possible ) and constant instancing and minimizing Massive part of MMO gameplay. To make things even worse the MMO genre is dying with AA companies starting to avoid it as plague.
Its drove me nuts. And i tried everything
Only to find something in least expected place... A mini MMO made as a side project by team of 12 people.
TROVE
Why should you be excited about it ?
1. Its sandbox - No quests , no direction
2. It has DIablo like random loot
3. Twich skill based combat
4. The game is love letter to Arcade/Early console classic - did you like "Super Adventure Box" you will love this
5. Build your own worlds , create dungeons , weapons - it can be added to the game
6. The game is growing and becoming a sleeper hit - I dont know for you but I like to play games that are thriving instead of dying
7. The team is super responsive and plans many many new things added to the game.
8. Its nothing like WOW
So, for what its worth try it. Its silly and not that big - but damn its refreshing !

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
Lancer drops in 3 hours after maintenance. Pumped!
Every time I enter a dungeon, there's someone in there already ransacking it. I'm not quite sure where to go because it's taken it's sandbox a bit to heart.
Just one of those games.
And the graphics. Block style is a thing, I get it, but .. I dunno...
But I just cannot tolerate these block games. I think Trove looks a bit better than Minecraft, but that isn't saying much.
I don't know what it is about them, but they just seem to creep me out. Like a bad dream.
Oh well, we can't all like the same things, glad you are enjoying it.
FFA Nonconsentual Full Loot PvP ...You know you want it!!
I self identify as a monkey.
Trove is perfect for that. In seconds you are doing thing that is progressing you.
No stupid fetch quests.
And you dont need to fight either. You can craft , mine , or just build your world/house ....
Thanks for the info. Commencing download.
Now, which one of you will adorn me today?
Trove is a game I can jump in for any where from 10 minutes, all the way to a couple hours on weekends just doing whatever. Some friends and I have a club world we work on sometimes, but we don't take it very serious, and it makes for a good time. Trion or not, I haven't found any reasons to really dislike the game as long as it's not taken too seriously. I play trove like I play mobas, and fps titles, I play them when I feel like I've played too much GW2, or FFXIV for one week, and want something different.
Overall, I think Trove sits exacly where it should be. Not over or underrated. Though some on this forum over rate it, I don't feel that's the general consensus.
(but I think even the finest ladies gathered will be a bit "blocky" in Trove
