Thank you, this is exactly the kind of first-impression feedback I need.
The email verification flow definitely needs to be clearer, and redirecting back to Sign Up after verification is something I’ll fix.
I’m also already working on the onboarding problem. The goal is to guide a new player through the first character and first job without overwhelming them.
I really like the animation idea too. I don’t want to remove all waiting because time is an important part of the economy, but I absolutely need to make that waiting feel more like part of a game and less like staring at a timer.
Thanks — feedback from the first 5 minutes is especially valuable right now.
