I'm at lvl 44 now and i regret playing this game on Kong and i'm considering quitting. At the beginning you get a Kong ship that is just good for starting out, but later on the disadvantages grow: 1. it is impossible to join and relocate to an alliance and despite numerous demands devs refuse to adress this seriuos problem. This makes it nearly impossible to get help from advanced players en get to new ship tech. So you will keep on playing with crappy ships untill you get bored. Coining doesn't help here 2. Players on Kixeye website and facebook get to have officers, which is a great advantage. 3. kong community on this game is not existing due to problems with other games in the past ( backyard monsters),...
Personally i like the game, but if i knew these problems b4 starting out, I would have never started playing this game.
On higher lvls you encounter lag, serious lag. The kind of lag that forces you to feel sorry for the time (and money) you spend on a game, where the developers only have one thing on their mind.
Oh, if you really want cool weapons you have to create several aliasses just to be able to harvest some good items.... Apparantly this is normal and not sanctioned by developers... I refused to take part in such.
Acquiring decent weapons is tedious and takes lots of time. If you want very good weapons you need to use several accounts (!) or you have to pay up. Otherwise you have to settle with shitty weapons.
I refuse to create new accounts for this game.
