Of course they're busier than before. Why wouldn't they be?

Proceeding as predicted.

I'm just far too Viking to be even remotely interested in Salem, Haven is where it's at for the in-depth MMORPG experience! Gameplay & Depth > Graphics, but the graphics for Salem seem... way too cartoony, too Anime. Haven is realistic. Thus, for me, Haven > Salem, Haven is awesome, Salem is not. However, I'm highly impressed with your ability to manage and develop two large games to such great extents, without managing to 'drop' what matters to pop in more 'features' to keep people interested. So, that all said:

Salem: Potentially good mmorpg with similarities to Haven, that may attract a wider audience, however, seems to lack in what Haven excelled, but that's going off of what I've read.

I still think it's much wiser and more manageable to just try and focus on one thing at one time, rather than putting 50% of your efforts into two things at once. Seems redundant and counter-productive.

Cool opinions you've formed on a game you've never played. I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

It pisses me off how people hate on salem when they played it and rant about how it sucks but they wont give me their damn account !
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

Crashes every 45 seconds...? I haven't seen a single crash yet. Are you sure that it's Salem and not your side?

I got my first crash since being invited into Alpha. Was buying Self Defense and boom, CTD and 30 minutes later it's still telling me i'm logged in. Fuck this shitbag game/

go into your processes and the java process is still there keeping you locked online, just have to shut that down and you'll log off in a few minutes, you seem pretty interested in playing such a shitbag game
Oh boy, here I go cheesemaking again...
