DOAN

After actually playing the game (which is extremely accessible), I have to say that the vision is similar to TFC and I was too quick to judge.The graphics are splendid, and the mechanics are superior to anything that latches onto the MC platform. The creators are obviously onto something here. There are a lot of promising features planned, but even as it stands right now the game is on par with TFC in terms of content; I'd go as far as stating that Vintage Story (pains me to refer to this gem by this name) does many things much better than TFC. The mechanics of metalworking, for example, arevastly superiorin VS. Other than some minor gripes, I was left very pleasantly surprised by the game. Future relations between TFC staff and VS? One can only dream, but I'm pretty sure that the people behind Vintage Story can pick up the reins on their own. TFC players are much better off migrating at this point.

Sorry brother I don't mean to be rude, but the name "Vintage Story"to me is very unappealing. The name is suppose to be the face of what's underneath, and it's meant to encapsulate the vision of the creators. I looked into the game a bit, and it looks nice so far. However, the fact that those in charge of it sat down and agreed to name it "Vintage Story" gives me an idea of the staff's vision and the direction it's likely to take. TFC's name has a sort of primordial, almost ominousvibe to it that fits incredibly well with what the mod is about; the name "Vintage Story" is fitting for the type of setting that is fundamentally different than what TFC attempts to portray.

The only way forward for TFC is standalone. MC has been on the road of Modding community rejection for many years and it's only getting worse. The effort put into a mod written in J*va is roughly comparable to the amount of effort needed to create a standalone. The difference is that a standalone has all the room to grow on the dev's terms, and can actually bring in income. A mod, however, is nothing but sweat and tears; all leading up to being completely steamrolled by Mojang and having a totally dead community to show for. Niche games can last a lifetime, but the reason why niche mods don't is because they're niches of a niche, and the people who are into game modes like TFC don't bother looking into MC to begin with. Games like Vintage Story show that there is some sort of demand for a TFC-like game that isn't constrained by an unfriendly platform. But Vintage Story just doesn't display the same spirit as TFC. The name "Vintage Story" alone is a HUGE red flag and the biggest reason why I'm not going to look into it. In other words, I don't see a future for TFC inside the MC framework; what the staff should do is pick up the vision of TFC proper, and channel their talent on an independent platform. Just as long as they stay away from things like ingame purchases and dlcs.

Hello, I'm looking for a TFC server or group with some elements of lore building/rp in a medieval/renaissancesetting, or any time period before it. Low fantasy is okay; a mix of different time periods is okay if they're all older than the renaissance period (no industrial/steam era and beyond). RP doesn't have to be heavy or widely practiced, but I would like to play in a server that is set on one of the settings I mentioned above. I'm okay with other mods being present.
