Downtime notice: Server overload

[Duane]

Ohoho, this is the best bug ever. Now, all the abandoned civs are free for the taking, and big civs get a little burst of freedom and teamwork.

Do this once a month, or something. Just "Accidentally" knock some coffee on to it.

Aaand here we go again, server crashed again.

Dear baby Jesus, for my Christmas gift please make all the reset whiners break all of their fingers so they can't type any more. Amen.

I hope this wasn't aimed at me. My question is valid.
Without:

Update 4: The corrupted villages will appear as if gone, quite simply. Their village idols can be reactivated as if they were newly built. I'll try to arrange so that broken authority objects can be right-clicked to turn back into the materials from which they were built..

I would never have asked and simply started destroying them and rebuilding.

The people against the "reset whinners" are the reason why H&H will never have a decent population. Since there are no real caps, the time you spent playing automatically correlates to the success of your character. There's many people who want to start playing, but are waiting for a wipe so they can actually compete. Even more people are just plainly turned off by all the deforested land and abandoned buildings scatted around due to the world's age. Until there's somewhat of a cap system and an automated process to bring back isolated forests, H&H will continue to grow too slowly to be considered anything other than a hobby for two college kids simply because it doesn't welcome new players at all.

This is really untrue because you can start anywhere you want and villages are just being created. Like Koya said A.D was formed in 3 months and the fact people don't want to join is they don't think they have a chance but they should try in this world so they are ready next world and can build their own empire.

I'm sure we'd all love a server reset, but this world is becoming a bit less boring with things like feasts, slaughterings & such going on.

im calling crap on this, i started playing 2 days ago, and despite everything you said, plus crashes, plus lag, i love this game, it is a real breath of fresh air to most gamers, anyone who is turned away from this, it is because they lack the patiance to actuly play long enough to get anything done.

EDIT: or you can look at the other side, if the server is reset to much, people wont want to do anything, cause they know that in a while it will all just get reset.
