Interview with IndieGameMag

[shubla]

Steam Greenlight, when?

Did you read the articles at all? Haven is not going for steam, why should it? Is WOW on steam? No it isnt. Do people play WOW? Yes.

The new version is currently in a closed Alpha

"Closed Alpha" means just for Devs (?)

[Duderock]

attempt to introduce more meaningful differentiation along qualitative rather than quantitative lines

I take it that Jorb and Loftar have finally heeded my advice!

I haven't fully figured things out yet, but if there ever is a solution to botting, I believe it will involve tying character progression to social interaction and making objects have an emphasis on qualitative elements rather than quantitative.

or they're just coding in a "rolling the dice" - narrative reminds me of RP and D&D rulesets

[simimi]

There is not enough content to make players stay "just playing the game", not new fantastic place to discover, no new boss mobs, and so on.
Its the PVP ( or fear of PVP) that make these game meaningfull, there is a lots of Farmville clones around.

I don't think that's true at all. Haven is one of those games you can do most anything. It's more about preparation than just showing up. If you like to fight you can. If you like to farm you can. It gives you the tools and lets you decide where to go. The only limitations are those placed by you and others also playing.

btw.

PVP ( or fear of PVP)

might take up 1% of my playtime (accumulated 41 weeks, 5 days, 7 hours, 41 minutes, 2 seconds)
... if i'd be in for the "getting owned or own" game i'd play MPFPS and Tournaments again (what i did long years before i started HnH) - i guess only a small amount of the PVPers in HnH are capable of not getting teabagged all day long ... if i'd wanted boss mobs and the like i'd go WOW (oh no)...

[Tonkyhonk]
