1700+ players to 500 in 2days ...

Postby kalimyr » Mon Aug 31, 2015 12:41 am

Titles says it all ...I am a fan of haven and have been playing / following for a good 4-5years ...But the whole ''big change" thing is gonna slowly kill the game ...First p2p which i guess i can understand even tho i find it a little bit pricey for an early alpha ...But then they removed the arrow system which basically makes it so that you can't play with friends ...This whole game is about community & the sandbox aspect ...being able to play with your friends is a major +++cons in any game ...At this point what i would like to know is the roadmap ...Where is this going exactly Jorb & Loftar ...What are your intentions with all those changes and whatnot ?!

There's a non zero segment of the population, myself included, that warned this would happen. Hardcores are toughing it out, but this has basically killed the non-hermit casual playerbase completely.

I don't see why we should be surprised. This is an MMO, people want to play with their friends.

And for the hardcores who are being all vet tough about this: Who you gonna raid and trade with now?

Honestly I met up with all my friends within a couple of hours of the community map coming into play. It's not that hard to find people in the spawn area.

well after reconsidering and calculating gametime, 6$/10$ a month is not that much, what is your problem? Sure it was so sudden, even if someone has mention it before. Anyway worth subscribing after 1 month till everything settles up

I'm not judging the point about a low population, but ,rather, his "1700 to 500" statement. Nothing is known yet until the game time ends on most people. Of course it's 500 now, because it's 3am in Europe. Most are asleep now. + the initial wave is gone, which would have dropped regardless of anything the devs had done.

well it's already monday morning in some parts of the world, and i'm sure some of these people have to go to work today (so that they can pay their subscription fees to haven ¦] )

Had a blast when there were less than 100 of us, will do so again.

Gentle and polite reminder to please leave keys to claims and any cash shop items you may have stolen in containers in your houses when you quit, along with any food items arranged by FEP type.
If you could signal us with a runestone by the gate when ready, it would assist in this transition process immensely, thank you.

Please stop making threads like these. Please continue all discussions about p2p in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=39713
As for party arrows and meeting up, the devs have already conceded the point and are planning on changing it.
