Hey guys, I'm thinking again about joining you in this game, mostly because I just moved overseas from my family and I'm looking for a nice-looking but not overly complicated game to play with my mom during our spare time. What do you guys think, should we go with H&H or is there a better one out there? We won't be playing too often, just in our spare time (of which I will soon have very little).
I dont recommend it if you are a casual gamer (ie 'play in spare time'). I thought it was a casual game too atfirst, but once you start building a house and claiming it and doing the higher tier stuff like cheese making and steel making and such, you end up having to log in ATLEAST twice a day. Some reasons:
-Theft. You want to log on as regularly as possible to catch thieves.
-Steel making needs you to log in every 12 hours to refuel stuff
-Silk moths need to be fed.
-etc...
Also, once you have a house and all that, you start getting paranoid about thieving. NOT a nice feeling if you just want to play once every 2 days or so.
Technically, you could play the game without worrying about the hier-tier stuff and about building a home, but frankly, that would be quite boring and not worth it.
Thus, I recommend against playing this game as you intend to with your mother. There are many, many other much more friendly games out there. I'm sure you can find something to your liking.
