Would love to see a retrospective of Haven and Hearth

[donatas]

Since retrospective is quite interesting thing and a nice to look back how it started and how it got there, but for haven and hearth instead of being year by year, I think it would be better done world by world. Since there aren't any youtube videos on this, would love to see devs posting in on their channel or at least oldest players making one. Since I am only familiar with this game from end of world 7.

At one point, everybody spawned at the same location.

As a result, the entire starting zone for miles around was barren of all trees and any form of anything. You had to spend hours walking.

Deforestation and wooden plates everywhere in W3.

Everything past that was pretty normal except for some exploit/mad botting that happened in W4 that caused it to be cut short.

I vaguely remember that it had something to do with one single piece of bugged coal with insane quality (+MAXINT): while quite some of the quality was lost from combining it with low quality stuff the resulting items were still insane and this continued through the whole production chain: any items indirectly created from it were better by several orders of magnitude (factor 1000+) compared to everything else, completely breaking any balance that might have been there before.
IIRC.
