Bob dole thinks your wrong. kids create the best drama, and bob dole needs them for his blood sacrifices, to keep bob dole young. Otherwise bob dole will start to decay.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

they dont need to necessarily open the source at all, i think they could just give the source to some people they trust, making a developer team. This way, their source are still protected, and everybody is happy.

last time i suggested it some fucking moron came to offend me, i still dont understand why lol


HnH forums where a moron can call another a moron ;)


That coming from you sounds like a joke for me.

I don't know if that was poked over and over, so I just wanted to give that proposal and see if there was a convicing answer from someone.

But yes, your point is good. You convinced me now :oops: .

The only one thing I disagree is that yes, they must give a definitive answer the fastest possible. I know and understand that they are developing a game they are gaining money with it, and of course, don't have time to develop and maintain HnH. What i just think they could do was giving a definitive answer about the future of HnH - If they'll fix the problem and possibly develop it after they are done with what they're doing on Salem, if they'll make a devteam or something like that, or if they'll just close the game forever. I'm expecting for the first option, and I'd be mad and I bet that most people here would be too if they come like 3-6 months later just to close the game. If they could give a definitive answer this month, most people would understand their decision for sure.

yep Poncheis i was joking - i'd never call someone a moron or something like that in a forums :)

We all know the "lack of communication" when it comes to HnH...once there was the IP who knew a little more and gave away informations.

I'd like to see a comment on the future of HnH too but i'm aware that's not priority on their list to make one...so it's like it always was with HnH - you need patience ... and more patience...

Was I the only one who didn't know the IP existed until I was added to it? I swear it's such common knowledge at this point, haha.

they did state that they would be coming back to haven. they do not mean to abandon it. i dont think they plan making any devteams but only jorb and loftar, since they dont even let others touch salem codes for the time being except for some art and UI. loftar was, according to himself before, planning to rewrite the whole codes for haven, which would take quite a long time, so making small fixes here and there or making updates on the current codes would be waste of time.
the last time i saw them talking, their intention wasnt changed, just that every schedule seems to be pushed further and its taking a much longer time than they had expected for one reason after another.

so, you either be patient enough (like, months, another year, or even longer), or give it up and move on.


oh hiya Daji :) Ça va?

I'm not really interested in aruging about why it's not hugely popular. I can tell you why I stopped playing...

Response time made it unplayable! Has this been fixed?

Half the time I'd try to walk somewhere and my character just walks in place for 10 seconds before moving. If I select Adventure > Dig > click somewhere an hour glass appears for 30 sec. Seemed like half my time in game was spent waiting for the game to respond to my requests.
