To Jorb & Loftar: World Expansion Please!

Postby MagicManICT » Wed Oct 12, 2011 6:32 pm

I know you guys spend some time on the weekends messing with Haven & Hearth. The server doesn't go down at all during the week (or down for a very short while) and then is down for eight plus hours on some weekends. Not to mention the fact that the lag is clearing up quite nicely (still a bit slow on the load times, but much better than it was a couple of weeks ago).

It doesn't need to be a huge expansion, just big enough to give those joining and those looking for a new place a bit of breathing room. While there's vertical space, you only have so much space for crops and foraging, and that's pretty much full up. Plus, only those more advanced in the game can make use of the vertical space (due to strength and material requirements to access it.) Yes, I'm sure we can pack it in closer together, but as the old saying goes "familiarity breeds contempt."

I know you spend most of your week banging your heads on Salem, and that's as it should be. Everyone has to pay the bills somehow. We just don't want to feel like we're the forgotten girlfriend while your new mistress keeps you entertained.

fixed.

im not really sure about this idea itself though, because our issues are not about the world size.

Wasn't going to go there, but since you did... I'll second that. :lol:

edit: guess I should say this. Some of the issues just can't be fixed by growing the world. It's going to take some work in design and coding, time which Seatribe just doesn't have right now. A world expansion would probably aggravate it some by providing more area for hearth vaults and other such shenanigans. Some of the issues are just plain crowding that can be fixed in other ways, but a world expansion will at least help with it some.

It's quite hard to run out of area for a hearth vault as of now with 6 different layers to build on

Don't know about that. I have a vault for my HF, a vault for my loot, a vault to live in, a vault to hold the CRs to my vaults, a vault over each of my vaults to be fake vaults, and a vault for my 1st alts HF, a vault for my 1st alts loot, a vault for 1st alt to live in, a vault to hold the CRs to my 1st alts vaults, a vault over each of those vaults to be lure vaults, And continueing in that fashion for all 26 of my alts. And I still need to make more.
