Same problem, not only have I never seen a fish on Blackwood, but fishing with a rod or net gets nothing also. Tried Rod and Net from various boats/raft in various areas. I know I can go back to the starter island, but that's not the point, the Sea should have fish, I've yet to see a single living thing in the Sea aside from Mermaids and 1 shark that ate me while I was charmed by said mermaids.

Thanks Loominaty, the trailer really made it look like NPC towns are already in the game, but I guess all we have atm is umm, struggling to actually be positive here, mobs that are not dinosaurs, and sailing. I knew it was based on Ark when I bought it, but the trailer made it look like so much more than just a reskin, I’m holding off playing it for now in case my worst fears are true and I need to refund the 3 copies I bought for my family, oh and due to the obvious stability issues it’s having. I'm not a fanboi or a moaner, I just want to know if the game is what was advertised, or if the trailer is actually what we might see in 2 years.

Any answers to these please. 1. Economy, is there any form of currency, vendors or some way to set up shops? 2. The trailer shows cities, are these depictations of what players can/will build or are there npc cities and towns out there? 3. NPCs do friendly ones exist, for buying or selling, for questing etc? I guess what I really want to know is if the world is just an empty sandbox for the players to turn into a world, or if there is already a crafted world out there to explore that’s more than just a thousand currently empty islands with animals on. cheers.
