question about poulation

[brandonbi]

1283 hearthlings - it means only 1283 players are playing this moment?

Is it normal? Is it a small amount of players for such type of a game? What was the situation in 2011-2012?

Pls, give me a tip, whether it makes sense to start the game?

thnx all

Haha, this is one of the most populated moments ever! This and the start of world 6 and 5 I think
Normally it's something around 300 players and when the lag stiked hard it was usually below 100

Btw, it always has sense starting the game, certainly now. The world is fresh and young, you'll be able to see tons of new players around! Go ahaid, what are you waiting for?

Welcome to HnH!

most ever was about 1500 - 1600

Also it's still an Alpha version

Yeah check it out!!! Use the default client first to get the atmosphere - Play Button on web page - open "autohaven" with Java Web Start Launcher
If you want to play on switch to a custom client - i recommend Ender client from Wizards Tower subforum

3-4 days ago? I saw it reached 1600 players back then

w4 had numbers around 1500 I believe. =)

All times are good times to start survival mmos, the experience will just be a bit different. To be honest, starting in a brand new world is probably the worst time for new players since everyone is so cutthroat and grief happy. You'll have trouble even drying a rabbit skin without something shitting all over you for the sake of it.

nah that just makes the game more appealing to a new player imo, depends on the player, but nothing would put me off than before reset. where every other metre of land is claimed and most claims are long dead with no one around, and the people who are still around are years ahead of you.

Ive played haven since world 4 but only briefly at the start of each the last worlds, because thats the only period the game is interesting to me.
