NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BUYERSh a c k m u d is a incredible tangle of features, caveats, bugs and ruins –and I am but one solo developer. This makes this game unbelievably complex to maintain. HOWEVER– As long as there are servers running the game, there will be balance patches and fixes.
Read AS MUCH AS YOU CAN about the game and player’s experiences before making your purchase decision.
Excited to have you in game making messes with us. 😀
Happy Hacking!
