Will the world restart after the alpha is done?

[Sevenless]

I do not see a world restart happening anytime soon the only reason why they would do that is if they're going to upgrade the server hardware with the money they're making if it's a decent amount should be able to do that

Traditionally the worlds reset every 9-16 months after world creation. Soon no, but haven has always gotten stale and overbuilt as months pass. New world gives fresh chance at claiming the biggest, best nodes. At being the first to find gold.

Haven has been rebirthing for 7 years now I believe, there's no reason to expect that to change. It is the cycle of life in sandbox builder MMOs anyway, all of them have re-incarnation of servers eventually.

If nothing else, think why the old guard are calling this World 8. Worlds 1-3 and 4-7 were each "massively changed" iterations of the game, but we still saw new world resets as time rolled on.

Well I think for profit jorb should implement a capture the flag system across the world for competitive play. Like 30 monoliths spread throughout the world and a team has to hold like 60-90% of the spots to win. (obviously adjust all numbers to fit for balance)


1.)This would allow people to hold points separately to keep the status quo. Worlds stay alive as long as people want it alive.

2.) To tilt the balance of power it would require actually feudalizing other players. Numbers win. This will allow for a stronger appeal. It no longer becomes a more exclusionary game but an inviting one. In the end, the side who wins will most likely be the one with most total game hours, which boils down to money.

3.) Your name becomes Immortalized as the one who caused ragnarok.

4.) you get cataclysmic wars.

5.) you get points of interests on the map. Obviously people are going to be attracted to these spots.

6.) guaranteed drama.

Then keep like two worlds. One with monoliths, one without. If you really wanted to try to milk some money you could charge a transfer fee for aware people who want to escape their impending doom. But still, movement between a higher world and a lower world would be a neat feature, milking or not.

So you want Haven to follow Salem's model?

Games already close to pay to win as is, want people to pay win, reset world at will? ya that would kind of suck bit.

sorry to send the pigeon flock to shit on your parade but this is not going to happen

[Darruin]

Given the fact we're actually paying for the game now, I sincerely hope not. There is a question when it's "completed" to have a different sever for newer players, or jorb can make the world bigger. I'd like to see how big the world can get.

Why do people never seem to get that an underlying theme of haven is temporariness?

[MagicManICT]

If you're buying into Haven on the belief that there will never be another reset,... well, I have a bridge to sell you. Great price, too.

There will be a reset at some point, odds are likely sooner rather than later since this is a major update to the game engine.

I am now turning this into the "how long until a reset" thread, and there will be a pool. The entry fee is forum rep. The winner gets nothing other than joy of being right.

My guess, six months on the button.

[painhertz]

1 month, 2 weeks.

[Darruin]

10 months, 2 weeks, 4 days.

[falconsadist]

Next reset will be in January.
