Haven 2.0: "Hafen"

[bmjclark]

You can still play the original game for some time after hafen releases (as far as i know). The old game will be shut down sometime after hafen releases though. The game is still free.

sorry if this is a dumb question but is the original game going to update straight to 2.0 or will i still be able to play it normally?

The current World 7 will continue initially until the playerbase dissapears or Jorbtar just randomly decides to drop the servers. It's already getting down to like 40-50 players and World 8 hasn't even launched yet. i can;t imagine a valid reason for it to be kept up for long.

For North Americans, approximately (they're not guaranteeing the exact time, but giving an estimate) 4-5 PM in UTC+2 means 7-8 AM PST (west coast), or 10-11 AM EST (east coast). So expect Haven 2.0 to launch early in our morning, but don't be too hopeful that the server will be 100% stable all day

Well, they still have to generate a world map and so on, so I'd add at least 4h or so to that estimate.

They're not just generating the map beforehand? WTF

One question that bothers me horribly - will there actually be hunting, or will i will need to run after the animals and stab them like in salem?
I loved my sling n` bow in hnh so much....

But also alot of melee combat, and i never fought my prey in close combat in hnh...That is what i want, not salems hunting.

So you instead pelted them from a boat while they stood there mindlessly accepting the punishment, or alternatively maybe you built a fence around them, or the like?

I'm not sure that's the best disposition for a hunting system either.

Never built fences, but hunting from a boat? that is my favorite.
