I just want something super simple: a truly co-op, simultaneous community game. Can be farming or whatever. I get so pissed that Animal Crossing gets close to this but just misses.

Essentially, I want to create one little town or whatever that all my friends can also participate in. I believe the original Animal Crossing allowed this but since it wasn't online you could only play one at a time. So like, we could create "Hexbearia" where you could have multiple people on at the same time. Everyone has their own house in the town, you could farm a plot of land, customize your house, whatever.

Even the newest version of Animal Crossing won't let you do this (I believe - haven't played it). It still fixes you to one local area. And you can visit your friends in their towns but you can't actually share a town and build something together. Literally that's all I want. But Nintendo just focuses on individualism I guess.
