Just started playing it again. Having a fun time, but I'm feeling rather lonely. I managed to make a tiny little  hobo-shack area and catch my first rabbit ever, so that was cool.

[DrVoltron]

Hey, I've never played this game but, I'd be interested in joining, could someone pm me the hearth secret?

[612DwarfAvenue]

Last time i played there was basically no-one on. Is the game active again?

[Orangebottle]

I've run into a few people while playing.

It's better when you play in groups, though.

[Urist McMagicJake]

Can someone post or PM me their Hearth secret? Cheers bro's

[PTTG??]

Man, I would play this game if you picked a class to start and were immediately able to do one thing effectively, albeit slowly and/or poorly. Over time, you would be able to grow both better at tasks you know and learn a broader set of related skills... but you would never reach a point where you don't need or can't use things new players make, and you can't learn how to do everything.

The biggest mistake that Haven and Hearth did was probably quality. As it is, if you don't own the very best resource deposit of its type in the world, your goods are worthless. Oh, and boy are those deposits rare. Add to that the fact that in about ten minutes, the same three or four players end up controlling all the best resources, and twenty minutes from the start of the game, ALL the mines are taken... it's absurd.

I want to play a game where a group of specialized people can cooperate to build a village with the minimum of fuss. I want permadeath, but that needs to be moderated by rather fast character growth- trust me, the fact that I died and lost a weeks worth of skill growth and items and now my land is at risk of invaders and decay until my new character can take care of everything is enough. Making it take many months of 8-hour-a-day work just to get back to where I was is ridiculous.

Oh, and then there's the animals... Look, I know your artist is a phallus-obsessed lazy little swede. That doesn't mean that getting one-hit-killed by a fox a week after starting the game is a good game design decision. Tinge the spites gray or something and call it a wolf.

And the stats system... euughhhh.

[Sonlirain]

Well i played it for a little while and while i liked the concept i think in it's current state it's almost unplayable without being some sort of nolife living with his mother basement dweller.

The curio system is interesting but getting worthwhile curios early game is a PAIN.
Same thing with stats.
Then there's the problem of getting enough LPs for Yeomanry so you can get to own some land... and then the game hits you in the balls again by giving claimed land a price... in LPs of course.

All goes well and you have a palisade...

And then some dude from the leading village who was lucky enough to be force fed cheese all day and night comes with a sledgehammer and wrecks your shit.

Nah, even nolives have problems with it.

I want a sane clone of this game so very fucking much.

[niltrias]

I`m sorta thinking about returning to this game, now that my RL problems have mostly resolved.  I need to fix my laptop fan, and then I`ll probably be back in.

I sorta thought Salem would distract me, but so far it really hasn`t.

[Dariush]

Could someone drop a hearth secret my way please?

[Azkanan]

I has cheese. I has steel. I has q40~ Wine (so far), I has wool, I has pig. I has brick wall, both under and over ground. I has murder. I has 100+ combat stats (200+, if I hadn't died in an accident).

I'm a pretty cool guy.



Oh, I also have an Iron node the size of fucking Kansas.



OH, and I'm also protected by Ainran/Dis. \o/

And a bone collection.

[Eagle_eye]

Is there still a bay12 village for this? I've been trying to get back into it, but all the good spots seem to have been claimed.

[Seriyu]

I just recently started playing again, but it seems like all the B12 villages are gone, yeah. Feel free to PM me if you want an HS, I've got no problems with having more people around.

[Ehndras]

Heh, I remember necro'ing this thead when the admins released the new server+wipe.



...I also remember massive lag and glitched regions, added to the usual fuckload of griefers.


Has this changed at all? I've been getting pestered by friends who want to start up a new H&H village with me again. Good or bad idea?

[Dariush]

Obviously it is a good idea. That is, if you want to waste several months of your life struggling with the cretinous curiosity system, raiders who've played since the wipe, rich guys who bought troll skulls for fucking real money and so on and so forth.
