Seatribe history

Sept. 3rd, 2015. Bats were implemented and every cave dweller in the game at that point died in unison.

World 2: Jorb gets drunk one night and uses the server announcements to tell us that he loves us

Ah, those were the times. I was really glad to be online and read it for myself :3

I missed out on so much ;( wish i had known about this game back in those days.

As a designer, you have to be ready to face the fact, that 50%-70% of your work will be a waste of time (but good source for learning).

I can't claim to be an experienced designer, but I can tell you that it's a very common emotion from anything where you do any experimentation and you think you have the "right" line of implementation. I've had things where I thought I'd just look into them and get surprised they work, and other things I thought were the answer, and then fail, and usually feel disappointed when they do. Being disappointed doesn't mean you get all moody and depressed and want to kill yourself for failing.

I'd be discouraged, too, after having a great idea for a major change and then finding out it doesn't work after actually testing it.

Being discouraged and feeling a slight disappointment are different things in my book.

You might think otherwise if you were the polish guy who's village got wiped because he has let a runestone at Jorb's village saying "Nice village, I'll return back soon".
Or... if you were the guy who's house was destroyed and all grinded pearls have disappeared, because their villagemates took over Jorb's village and called it "The land of owned hobbits".
Or... an owner of an vault called "Jorb is Homo"

So what you are saying is the people who played back then are equally mature to the people who play now.

Life of a scientist.
Or of any kind of pioneer for that matter. I suppose only haven cloners will have it easy.
Seriously, though, the devs have only their own stubbornness to blame.

Most of the times I am happy that they are stubborn. A lot of ideas in C&I are ridiculous.

Dang, i came around at...i don't know...month or two before end of W7. I wish there was some way to play the REALLY old versions of haven, just to see what it was like.

EDIT:

Here is another important bit of HnH history for your thread.

World 2: Someone posted in the IRC a pic of their villages cheese racks that they had in their mines. People were quick to see how bright it was in the mine and eventually found out that they were using a custom client created by the forum user Pacho. There was a bit of a uproar about it at first claiming that it was somehow an unfair advantage. Eventually the custom client was made public to everyone and so began the era of custom clients.
