"A great game, but one thing seriously missing."

This definitely would have got a ten, if there was only a save function. I wasted 30 minutes of playing because I wrongly decided I was ready to go off to further cities. I was attacked by a group much, much larger than I'd seen before, and there was nothing I could do about it, and I died.
Given that there is no way to escape from a battle, or to run from robbers that are chasing you unless you are right next to a city, and given that there is no way of knowing how much harder it gets when you move further afield other than going and trying it, you really need a save function.
Other than that, one of the best online games I've played in a while. Wonderful range of things, even if it is frustrating to reach a town with you stock only to find that they don't buy it any more, that's a great part of the game! Thanks!
