Obsessed!

About time I wrote a review for this game, :D i’ve been playing for over a year and I practically live in the city. I’ve love the community of players, they’re so helpful and fun to help, and the game is super accessible too. I love how immersive it is and I can’t wait to do many more adventures. I still need to find where Achilles’ leg is and get that invisibility cloak. ;)
To those who are reading this and don’t know the game yet; hope to see you in the city soon!
PS: thank you for the Star Trek refs Poo! Coming across them is so much fun!

Response from developer

When you background the app, the game logs your character out in order to keep it safe. There's good reason for this. The game world continues whether you're there to observe it, or not. If you're not present to protect your character, it can be attacked and potentially killed with no opportunity to flee. All settings are available in-app from the menu at far right. There are also command-line alternatives which you can type in-game if you prefer. There's no need to log out to make a setting change. If you'd care to send an email to support, we're always happy to help you sort these kinds of things out. To make it easy, "Contact Support" is available from the menu I mentioned. One thing worth knowing about TriadCity: it's an actively moderated community. We work hard to keep it safe for all players. We don't tolerate abuse, flaming, or personal attacks. We remove them, and we ban people who make a habit of them. This is one of the reasons we've had so many loyal players for 25+ years. None of that is aimed at a frustrated review about logouts. But if a genuinely welcoming, collaborative world sounds good to you, you'll fit right in. If it doesn't, TriadCity may not be your thing.
