Welcome to the CoE 'cautiously optimistic' community Beauvais! You seem to be thinking along the same lines as most of us since, yes, the MMO genre is lacking. Severely.
We all hope CoE could be our home away from home for many years to come.

I'll type up one of my infamous 'need-to-condense' responses later since preparations for today's Q&A in an hour and a half are underway, but I just wanted to pop by and bestow upon you a warm welcome into our community!
Thank you for the replies! Scrolling through the threads, it seems like the mentality of people here are similiar to mine. There is hope! :)
I make most of your words my own. Found out about this game today since i was looking up new games because of a wave of nostalgia that swept over me from the mmo's i played 5-10 years ago. Really hoping everything goes right with this one. It's looking like an absolutely brilliant project.

We all are here to support the ideas of SBS, if they can come to fruition I think this will be the revolutionary game we all dream of. But for this to happen SBS need support, and every new person who joins the community is more motivation for SBS to make the game of their dreams. So without pledging you are already helping! I hope you feel at home here. It's a lovely community!
Never underestimate players' ability to bend the rules to wreak havoc and grief. A good game design gives the minimal safeguards and security that encourage and broaden interaction, bad ones leads to the "Hobbesian wasteland" survival MMOs you see today on Steam where its just hostile tribes of players living in their isolated fort at war with everyone else.
Welcome to the community!
As a fan of UO I wish to thank you for your input. Your iseas and thoughts are very well thought out, reasonable and concise. I started in UO and very few games rivalled the longevity UO had for me. I do agree more recent MMOs lack the depth and that charisma that keeps you coming back for more. They are very superficial and are just repetitive, just offering a different atmosphere and alternative graphics to make them seem original at first glance.
I joined the community last year and have watching CoE develop and am cautiously optimistic as well. It does encompass everything I have been longing to see in an MMO, and I do hope it comes into fruition.
Again welcome and thanks for your thoughts!
welcome to the rabbit hole alice...

Welcome to CoE.
I share some concerns about the disguise system, but it all depends how effective it is. As long as it's not broken, should be fine ;)
Regarding prisons though I will point out that prison time isn't RL time. It's simulated ;) I do suspect if disguises are abused there will be a lot of investigator/vigilante types around lol.
Thanks all.
An additional note: What I like is that given the heavy roleplay and stylistic element of the game - houses, clothes, families, etc. PVP is not the end goal and be-all of the game. For example, in EVE the player economy is a complex eco-system whose end result in PVP. Miners are the bottom feeders who mine ore and sell it to manufacturers, who build ships and modules which are then sold to PvPers, who get blown up - adding more demand to the system.
This game? Its centered around family. You must secure the future of your family line, protect property and wealth, and expand it. PVP is a big part of the game, but its not the raison d'etre of the game's momentum and activity. Its about building your dynasty, constructing and running cities, building a cool dynasty home, etc.
I'm really excited by the idea.
thst's nice, i sort of feel the same way too
