Was definitely a fun go.
Came back to test out HnH 2.0 (Hafen), whatever you want to call it.
Played for 1 week with about 8 friends; we've been murdered 4 times and had all our belongings destroyed (which was fun as well.) Don't mind a full-loot/permadeath system, but in a game with such a small population you would think the guy fully equipped would at the very least leave the trash items alone (chest of dandelions), but alas, the trolls here destroy cabinets with nothing but leeches in them in order to grief people off the server.
It is definately fun, but I have more than enough of trolls in ArcheAge.
Will come back and try again in a couple of years.
