What is a 'Hearth Vault'

Postby jakeread » Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:00 am

I've heard about them and know you shouldn't build them but what are they. I would rather not accidentally make one and get exploded by an admin. :lol:

Thanks.

Hearth vaults are broken game mechanisms used by scumbag fuckholes to circumvent the justice sytsem implemented by the developers to avoid having Haven & Hearth morph into a griefer-fest.

Unfortunately, the developers aren't nuking them anymore so feel free to join the assclowns and ruin the game to your heart's content.

This is a hearthvault. Mine in particular.

A hearthvault is a small brickwalled area with a house in it meant to protect a criminal's hearthfire.

An illegal hearthvault is a hearthvault that, because of placement, is impossible to attack with a ram.

Only illegal hearthvaults have the potential to be nuked by the devs.

edit: Vigilance for example has a hearthvault that is legal. The devs will not destroy it because a person could potentially ram all that brick if they wanted.

I see signs, and a house and some walls. What exactly am I looking for?

Ask yourself - how would you ram into that fortress?

And the signs are to stop people using bugs to jump in, I believe.

Nice vault btw. Nice hat too ;).

EDIT: here's another example, an old vault that used to belong to the Death Eaters/RUA/whatever.

What would an illegal HV look like? What could possibly prevent a ram from smashing through brick after brick except when the rammers give up?
