Yo yo yo I'll join you guys too. I played with TL before although the only ones I remember now are Serejai and Kthez after I grouped with them when I left the TL group.

Yeah! I think it was only three of us that branched off from the official TL village, then we gathered one or two more a bit later. Durak was also being a hermit to the west of us.

We had some pretty badass soil quality in our base; I think it was around 70? Which honestly, probably isn't very high... except the TL village had 10 quality everything. Shame we didn't live long enough to farm on it.

I also can't count how many characters I lost to boars while traveling between our village and the TL village. There was ALWAYS a boar in the way.

Yeah man you died a lot when we played it was so funny and you didn't care and just kept coming back. I think I died some too because my job I think was to hunt bears(while luring to the boat) for its leather mainly I think and I had high ping.

I really liked the game because I love exploring especially since it's scary you could get killed any time while doing so and it's not focused on just killing stuff. When I was new it was scary and fun to explore someone's cave even though there's really nothing there.

I hope more people play this time so it's easy to meet new people while exploring because usually you only find empty houses/villages.

Btw Serejai what games do you play currently?

anyone remember me from haven and hearth? Was always exploring and bringing back charms that people kept misplacing, met russian(?) dudes who boated past our area and we had a neighbor who was in a cave directly below us.

I don't actually play anything right now. Haven for the last two days but otherwise I don't game much anymore.

I'm sure if you played with the tl group then I played with you. I don't remember any other names though aside from Serejai and Kthez. The only other guy I remembered specifically was someone who helped me at everything like fixing my place but I forgot his name because I don't know if he played more than a few days.

Play with us when the game comes. It'll be fun with Serejai and Kthez.

Funny story:

Me and plated were looking for a spot to settle and we came across this meadow area that seemed familiar. Turns out it was the original TL village from world 7.

I've been itching to play this game again, but world 7 has been going on for a LONG time. I used to have a well geared toon that I gave away when I quit. had 10mil Lp in a claim, and 300+ in most useful stats, but even that was trash compared to all the russian botters out there.

I actually convinced a russian to leak me their botted client and I didn't get keylogged. Was able to bot up flotsam, bluebells, pearls, etc afk for weeks and weeks before finally just getting bored and quitting.

I'd definitely be interested in joining up when Haven 2.0 starts. I still understand most of the HnH mechanics and I'm at least vaguely familiar with the combat. Sparring was the only fun thing to do in that game, outside of murdering and pillaging.

Graphics are a huge improvement over the original. Was hoping they would actually improve the gameplay though, but it looks like all they spent the last two years doing was graphics and a few small quality of life changes. The combat system seems to be the same shit one as now, and it's far too late in development to change combat.

If there were three things that need work in HnH, it's combat, purity, and player retention... and it doesn't look like they addressed any of those from what I saw in the trailer and have read on the forums :|

Will give it a try, though, for sure.

Ill definitely try it out but i wouldnt be surprised if it doesnt turn out that great. Hnh was fun when it was new. World 2 was the shit and the beginning of w3 was fun too, but somewhere in the middle of w3 the game became a bit more famous and swamped with russian and korean players that started botting, exploiting and griefing.

It's not even the popularity that caused it to decline; it's the fact that the developers simply don't care. They put out what they think the game should be and then wash their hands of it. Hackers? Botters? Not our problem. Balance issues? Sorry, we already made a decision and we don't want to change it.

You can tell they simply have no interest in the game beyond a hobby. They don't make any money from it, and the one chance they had to make money (Salem) they abandoned because they have such poor work ethics and couldn't commit themselves to it.

I stand by the fact that I think the concept itself is a great one, and I would love for some proper developers to run with it. Even looking at Salem, the game is a thousand times better since Seatribe sold it - and that's being developed by some 17 year olds with zero game design experience. Imagine how much better these games could be in the hands of a competent developer.

I think the developers really needed to improve the security of their web client; its ridiculous when custom clients can take the data from the server and not only plot on maps where foragables are, but even plot the current position characters are moving towards. I think custom clients need to be banned to reduce any advantage that people get from them. I think bots were tied to custom clients as well?
