At first glance the title of Zappnes's, (Widely known as PlaceRebuilder) new creation called Trading Worlds, It would look as any other game of its kind, alright but it would be unappealing after you played more than once. Boy was I wrong.
Turns out the game is one of the few games that people actually work together to have fun, other than those games which all you have to do is kill the opponents, or to do a single objective over and over again. There are many jobs to do and many rewards if you have the right amount of cash, which makes it very likeable. The first time I played Trading Worlds was about a month ago. As my digital avatar spawned I looked around in awe.
Me, at the docks of Gladiator Island, ready to shove off!
Turns out I was on a white, fluffy cloud above three of the fourteen islands that allows you to choose 1 out of many other classes that would determine your job, attributes, and even your ship! (Which you can change later in game.) As I was shocked at the number of teams on the leader board, I chose my first class, the gladiator. The most amazing part is that the 12 teams, ranging from a Pumpkin farmer, to a Bartender, even to a pirate and navy for those "aggressive types", are all very fun, and no server has all of one type. These classes usually make the game feel more like real life than a game, and most people I've seen have really been sucked into the game thinking as if they were typing on the role playing forums. Even more wonderful than choosing a class, you can choose your own prices with the new "Donation" tool. So you may see many players haggling or trying to get the cheapest prices for the items they want. S
ince the system is relied on trust, it makes it very easy for a player with a more criminal background to steal items from others. Even though this seems very bad, it really just adds to the "realistic" feel of the game.
But the part that makes the game the most enjoyable is how the other Robloxians act towards themselves. For example of the pirates announced a raid on the civilians island they would panic or take their swords to defend their rights. Also if a shipper came to a pumpkin farmer's island he would be welcomed with a few pumpkins and a job with some pay. So If you are going to choose a class, make great care in which one you choose, you never know which ones will strike fear into others, or be an average person just trying to make a living.
The time this game really shines is when many players have all different jobs, and the chat box is full of orders, help signals, trade requests, and the occasional sales. Even though the many players mean more lag, it doesn't affect the game at all. The worst part is when all the players are obsessed with power, and try to loot and destroy everything. The point is that is not the map's fault, it's a wonderful, fun filled and knowledgeable new experience if you find a great server full of good people and not any people that just want to fight all the time.
In conclusion this is most likely my favorite game of all time. It is an excellent game almost every time, with all the classes, ships, rewards and islands to chose from. This game will be many Robloxians favorites for months to come.
