Honest list of drawbacks
- The server is hosted in Europe. Players far away might experience high latency.
- The map can become static in popular areas of the map. It will be difficult to claim land at these locations.
- There are no "traditional" wars. It's unsustainable tying gameplay progress to PVP, as it's easy to gain unfair PVP leverage through cheat clients. This is why there isn't a war feature already. Conflicts are usually settled through diplomacy. A war system might be introduced in the future.
