:P ... but sorry, you can't blame shubla for that ... :lol:


@ Jen, 'hey, good morning, lol'


Maybe we should bring back global chat after all, I'm not too fussed about being banned for almost 3 months, all my friends are kinned and I wasn't on my main, but think of all the new players who ask for help and the ppl who don't have any kins yet but like to socialise in the chat ... it's fine for snail to play his games but there should be an in game chat for everyone without this kind of thing. It would also make 'trading', w/e that may involve, for time in the realm chats obsolete, another whole load of complaints out the way. :)

@Jorb ... I'm willing to be a moderator on it - a global chat - you know I'm fair and wouldn't be overly harsh ... :)

I'd be willing to bet that there is a novel's worth of DMs in jorbs inbox and discord from shubla that say otherwise

This is what he wanted from the start, to subvert snails ability to monetize aspects of the game, even if it was with only ingame goods
shubla now has cornered the 3rd party haven monetization market, being the only person who makes money in haven
via asking for payments to use his client and selling access to bots

people can say what they want about shubla but this was a brilliant marketing strategy

Honestly, I'm not going to comment on the snailvsshubla thing going on in here, if I personally had any serious complaints about the practices of either I would take them direct to the person or to Jorb, depending on the subject matter. :)

My concern here is being banned from the realm chat that I live in for smiling! :)

You're a rarity considering the rest of the game is all about waving their egos and forcing everyone else to play their way.

Its funny how you can't have it as a name of your kingdom, but you can do it as an act with no consequences whatsoever.

changed it to what

Snail's kingdom, "Balders Brå" (Swedish for this plant) was originally called "Player Population" with "downward trending" emojis at the start and end.

Devs got some flak for this because realm called "White Pride" wasn't changed. (They did change that too shortly after, to "Pride".)

Funnily, someone said devs should've just changed the emojis to trend upwards, and jorb agreed that was a missed opportunity.

There may have been third realm that voluntarily requested name change (or it was Pride, not wanting to be renamed after random Swedish flower.)
The most actively maintained Haven and Hearth Wiki (Not guaranteed to be up-to-date with all w14 changes.)

Basic Claim Safety (And what you’re doing wrong) (I recommend you read it in it's entirety, but TL:;DR: Build a Palisade.)

Combat Guide (Overview, PVE, PVP) (Tells you how to try and escape, and make it less likely to die when caught.)

The silly part is that it was all for nothing.
The drama produced by the name change made it so the entire community was in on the happenings,
it went from being what jorb swore was a little joke in to a big steisand-effect-fueled controversy.

And in the end, the joke was on jorb all along.

Another one bites the dust.
Meanwhile devs are having an argument whether or not yule stars should be hung on walls or not.
They care very very much for their community and players!

Still gave 0 comments about the matter :roll:
