Hi 
I’ve been trying to find out more information about this, but all I’ve managed to find were a few scattered unaddressed posts.
Basically, I finally tried this game during the free play week, and instantly loved it, then proceeded to get 4 more of my friends to try it out, and they loved it to!
But then that smacked me right into a problem. 5 people, 4 player game. And additionally a problem, because there’s 2 or 3 more I’d like to convince, so that we could start doing this as our regular weekend multiplayer game (getting so tired of only playing 7 days, Ark, and Minecraft!) but the last ones aren’t interested in trying a game that we can’t all play together at once, so the free play week is almost over and I haven’t been able to get the rest of my group to try it, and for the 5 of us who like it, I haven’t found a way for all of us to play it without juggling.
So I really want to find out if there is currently any way to try it with 8 people, or if it’s something that’s currently being discussed and/or is it a likely possibility that it might become a 4+ player game in the future?
Thanks! and I LOVE the game!!
