I was kind of expecting a large,
perpetual, open world. Instead, all I see are a bunch of small
servers, owned by someone, with a max of ~30 people. There is no large,
perpetual, open world. If you are looking to get this game expecting a sandbox mmo with a large world to explore and make part of it your own, don't.
It is possible I missed something where this was explained, but that doesn't remove my overall disappointment. If I am wrong, please tell me where I can play the game I thought I purchased.

The game is a good concept but needs to be made more into a MMORPG, and this is very easy to do but I don't know if FunCom is going to do it or not.
I saw it advertised as a survival MMO.
It also illustrates (again, assuming there is an ad calling it a MMO) why definitions are important, and why it's bad when people and/or companies apply extremely loose meanings to a term, or believe it can mean whatever they want/need it to mean, at any given time.

Then, no, you weren't misled. You inferred something from a description that didn't really fit.
Open World does not require, nor mean MMO. The Witcher 3 is Open World, for example.
So in this case, the misunderstanding was on your end. Understandable, though, with how terms are loosely thrown around anymore these days.
Still, Conan Exiles is *not* a bad game at all. If you can get around your disappointment in it not being what you expected, you might still want to give it a go. It's not a bad game at all. I rather enjoy it, myself.
Or, if it's through Steam, and you're within the time limit, you could request a refund and just explain you mistook the kind of game it was.
Failcom.. What did you expect?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It does work with fps's where a game lasts maybe 5 minutes.
Conan just like H1Z1 was a very cheap fast to market cash grab from two identical devs who are/were strapped financially.
I would hope the majority of gamer's have enough common sense to notice when a dev is serious about their game and when it is just a cash grab and a cheap lazy effort.
Here is one hint "when a dev says early access,Do NOT support them and their lazy half assed effort.
if a developer says it can produce a quality game,then DO IT,let's see it,never mind the bull of telling me what you might do or promise you can do,just give us some money first,TRUST us.
I say skip the commercials,i am not listening,show me what you got and that is it.
Conan showed me they had nothing worth supporting,nothing at all and SHOULD have been obvious to everyone else.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
They don't tell you that the thousands of others who were cast out in the vast sandbox world are all in separate games of 30 people or less.

What's more, Steam has a very generous 2-hour refund policy. If you don't like a game within the first 2 hours of play time, you can return it with no questions asked. This would cover a situation like yours perfectly. You buy a game thinking it's MMO, find out it's private server based, and then are able to return it with no fees.
In this day and age though, there is no excuse for not doing research about a game. It takes 5 minutes to find a review on Youtube. Whenever I buy a product without any research and it turns out crap, I don't really complain - it's my fault in that situation.
I messed with this at my friend's house a couple of weeks ago. I was on a server that had experience ramped up. My new character couldn't gather grass (an 'am I close enough' thing) but I outleveled my friend before I found water. Levels don't help when you can't tell if you are close enough to hit the orc thing.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
You also bought an incomplete game, that's clearly labeled as such, with many maps yet to be added to it.
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)
