Meaning you cant build bases or anything realy, since they will just be raided and broken down when you log out.

That's why I said that you would have to get very clever about hiding your base. No more shining castles on the hill. You wouldn't build for defense so much anymore but for invisibility. You would build your base in a hole at the bottom of a small, deep valley on a remote island to hide it from the other players who have become, by far, the worst monsters in the game. Damage to your base from raids would be nothing compared to what the other players would do.

The pvp combat aspects also leave a lot to be desired, you only have the bow to fight with since everything els will be obsolete in pvp.
Leaving for a rather bland gameplay.

I haven't messed with pvp myself, so I don't really know, but I don't think that's true. I have seen video where players have set up cage matches for fun and they were using a lot more than just bows against each other.

Judging by how many good, thoughtful comments I have gotten so quickly, I think I have struck a nerve with this idea. I still haven't gotten an answer to my question which I can't believe that I am anywhere near the first to have thought of. Has anyone actually played a game this way?
