Early Game Hell: Eve (first generation) camps are considered some of the hardest lives to pull off as you juggle laying the foundations for future generations, taking care of children and finding food after randomly spawning someplace in the wild. |

comment |
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: If you grief you may find yourself killed by other players very quickly. There's also the curse system, which prevents you from being born to players you curse for a preset time. Anger enough people and you'll quickly find yourself playing exclusively with other griefers. There's also the genetic score, which is more of a reward for keeping your family alive, however it ties into things such as hunger levels as you get older, so it actively disadvantages those who don't play nice. |
