Hello! It's been a while. I'm not particularly sure how Hafen is doing these days, but recently a bundle of my friends have begun to play, and against my greater judgement, I caved in and joined them (sort of; I'll be a hermit for now.)
If you don't know who I am. I was one of the first (if not, the first?) people who brought archery as a viable combat strategy and spent many days researching the exact formulae used by arrows and bows and what each quality impacted (Though I see now that there's only one central quality for everything... thank god!), as well as an early maker of the "Hermitarium" which was an effort to detail various mechanics about the game and provide guides for players back when few guides existed. I was also a coleader of a notorious village back in W8, and a leader of another in W9; R'yleh and Niflheim respectively. Both villages were destroyed by the same strategy of [Insert person that doesn't like us] sending a spy in and opening the gates to hell, both of which were entirely my fault- and after the second time, it left quite a nasty taste on my tongue, and I figured I'd probably end up never playing Hafen again.
Yet, this game is quite close to my heart in terms of it's mechanics, ambitions and ultimate goals- and I don't really think I could go too long without giving it another try. And so, here I am.
Anyhow; I have no idea who's active still and who isn't- so if you recognize me, say hello! I'm very curious about the political movements in this world, and definitely curious about any new names that might be around.
