I understand your opinion and i'll abstain from giving you a warning for all the not so nice talk in the posts you voluntarily deleted, but this is a very subjective matter. We balanced the game around a multiplayer community as that's what the game is made for. In regards to leveling we offer several balanced options for players to choose from. There is no way we could offer a fitting setting for everyone, simply because everyone has different preferences.In Update 9.0 we introduce a resource cost and crafting time multiplicator which enables you to easily adjust the gameplay to your preferences, without having to modify files.

We recommend starting a new world. You can use the old one, but you'll missing out on some stuff.

All laws will be gone, you won't have new biomes or animals, nor new materials.

Some of them are.
