About Haven & Hearth

Haven & Hearth is a MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) set in a fictional world loosely inspired by Slavic and Germanic myth and legend. The game sets itself apart from other games in the genre in its aim to provide players with an interactive, affectable and mutable game world, which can be permanently and fundamentally changed and affected through actions undertaken by the players. Our fundamental goal with Haven & Hearth is to create a game in which player choices have permanent and/or lasting effects and, thus, providing said players with a meaningful and fun gaming experience.

Players start the game surrounded by a vast and somewhat unforgiving wilderness, with only the most basic tools of survival at their disposal. The use of fire is a thematic focal point of the game's mythos, and an early and important task will be the simple lighting of one. As the first hearth fires disperse the darkness of the surrounding wilderness, more pressing questions will present themselves to the players: Who are they? Where are they? And, most importantly, where are they going? From this point on, players will have to blaze trails of their own into the unknown, the wilderness and the future, and explore and affect the world of Haven & Hearth using only their own best judgment and a chipped stone axe. Trust us, the stone axe is the shit.

As players progress, they will be able to acquire new skills and abilities, allowing them to perform a variety of tasks—such as the claiming of land, the construction of buildings and the cultivation of crops—each step forward making the basic task of survival somewhat easier. Having progressed far enough, players will, in time, be able to organize themselves into societies, from simple tribes and villages, progressing through republics, nation states and, ultimately, empires.


sounds survivalish, but hey to each his own

Pointless as You can travel this world with only 10Q stone axe or like everyone else, develop a better tool overtime, which replaces old one, so it is completely pointless, unless You wanna screw over noobs that will luckily get better stuff for few moments.

This is my great-great-grandfathers axe. Yes, it needed a new handles over the the years, and also a new blade at times.
But it was my great-great-grandfathers axe and now it's mine - and it cuts better than any other axe because I know it and it knows me.

First make it so we can repair armor, then i'll be more welcoming of a tool wear system.

Replacing tools minecraft style is dumb

mmm..enlightment maybe they may have a very random/low chance to lose quality like decay works...it can never happen for a long time or after 1 tree

My point is: a tool that you're used to could provide a bonus (as you're used to that specific item) instead of the current where every axe (of the same quality) is identical. Combine this with wear and the ability to repair stuff and players will be interested in maintaining and upgrading their stuff, as this could give better results than simply making/buying a new/better one.

and would make people think which tool should they use now "i am building a simple house, i will use my old bone saw first not that awesome 150q one from a mammoth bone!"

there is definitely an argument to be made for the purposes of trade, but it really doesn't do anything to add to the survival aspect, in games with similar mechanics, tool durability just leads to spamming tools because usually the material for said tools is abundant, at which point it really just becomes unnecessary tedium for the sake of realism.
