So it only took hours for people to land on the same planet and meet up in No Man's Sky

how come people expecting to meet other players in this so call "No Man's Sky" game... 

Because for years we have been told we would be able to.

And idk, the game seems like it will be way more fun if you can explore and build and collect with a friend, or even a complete stranger. It's not like people want huge 12v12 space battles or something.

For the record, I am still believing this was some sort of server issue and the most basic of MP functionality is in the game.

I wonder if it is even possible on this engine. I mean content is generated for each player individually. To see what your mate is seeing you would have to be synced somehow. Let's take this scenario: You and your friend plunder a planet of its resources. One of you then leaves the planet while the other stays. He then reenters the atmosphere and by the game's logic, the resources should be newly generated for him but not ofr the player who stayed on the planet. So which point of view should the game use?
