FUCKING FINALLY. First time I've seen this game go on sale... so i grabbed it.

I recall hearing about a BG server or something?

[Corrderio]

There was one, but I think it was later taken down due to lack of interest. However, Sonoma said that it would come up once the next update was pushed. Also said the server info will only be given out to a select few due to trolling or something of the sort happening on the old server.

Dunno if they added any admin controls/etc. to help fix that issue or not though.

Nice.. time to aimlessly play around again!

[Corrderio]

Looks like they're in the process of updating, but running into some issues:

Update live. Have at it!

Is it possible to get an invite for the server? I promise I'm not an asshole that steals shiny stuff!

Starbound 1.0 official release date set for Friday, July 22nd.

http://playstarbound.com/starbound-r...errer=launcher

In case you missed it, Starbound is coming out of Early Access on 22 July, 2016.

After ~5 years, the game we set out to make finally exists, and to say that it all feels a bit surreal would be a massive understatement!

While Starbound will be finished in two weeks, this isn’t the end. We will continue to update and support Starbound for as long as we can. We’ve got loads of cool ideas we couldn’t fit into 1.0 but hope to put into future updates.

Thanks again for all your support over the years! You’ve stuck with us, and it means so much.

Look out for more info over the next couple of weeks!

The game will feature it's original intended story mode progression. If you want to read more, I guess go to the site and read up on the blogs. If the last time you played was a year or two ago, the game as it is now has changed almost completely. If you haven't tried it out, look for it when it launches, or go buy it now. It's a real time sinker, if you ever played Terraria, you know, but in space and stuff.

[Prothescar]

meant to post about this but completely forgot. as someone who went into nightly builds every once in a while I can say the game is pretty much around 10% what it was when it first entered early access. It has changed so much and come so far, so many things added and so much possible gameplay put into it that it is very worthy of a look for anyone who has played it before or was planning to play it at some point. I'd say it takes the concepts that Terraria had and multiplies on them in many aspects.

I bought it way back when but didn't like it. Maybe it's time to give it another shot.

[silverdragontyr]

July 22nd is when it officially launches. I'd wait until then as most things should feel complete then.

[Azull]

Right now the nightly build is more or less 1.0 if you want to try it out before then. Been playing a little recently and its well improved.

[theshun]

Is there anything that was good/working that they took out? Or is it 100% improvements? Terraria is good example of them never touching what worked and only adjusted what didn't.

[Corrderio]

I can't think of anything I miss from the earlier builds of the game.

[Prothescar]

i cant think of anything that was outright removed, rather mostly everything has had extra layers added on

[theshun]

Excellent! Thanks for the replies, Corr and Proth. I've had this game for a long time but haven't really felt that itch, so I haven't delved into it.

[Waraji]

I do believe they removed the Hunger system for the longest time, and putting it back in, completely redone for 1.0. I'll have to check out the nightly build.

[Prothescar]

It's in Survival mode
