What is the closest thing to H&H that actually has people?

Not really a single shard but ARK is pretty MMO-ish. On official servers you can travel between them all and invade other tribes. I played it for the last 5 years but I just can't do it anymore. I get way too addicted to the game. Calling out of work and putting my life at risk because I wanted to succeed in defending against an attack. The game also encourages big brain strategies and innovative plays which is why I played it for so long.

ARK is pure garbage and everyone agrees. The Wooden Club knocks you out after 10~ hits and ignores armor so no matter how progressed you are any random gang of freshies can kill you easily, unless you get a dino like T-Rex or something which makes you mostly invincible. There's like 3 dinos that can unavoidable steal random things from your inventory and instead of dropping them when they die they delete them entirely. Game crashes CONSTANTLY and your body stays in-game allowing anyone to steal from and kill you after the crash. Also there's a bug in their system where if you crash or close the game while in a server you'll be unable to join for 10-30 minutes because it thinks you're overloading the server.

Salem's dead now.

Please elaborate. I havent played it since 2017. Is there just same amount of players as in H&H or it is abandoned even by devs?

I don't keep up to date but it has something like 1/5 of haven's population and the devs haven't done any activity on the forums, ingame, or anything for like 2+ years.

2018 is the last thing like an update that salem saw.
Wurm online is prone to have moneyracking stuff the devs puts in just to keep it alive somehow and, recently, they started to behave EXACTLY as the ones that brought salem on his knees and then, on his face into the mud.

In my opinion, Salem was one of these kind of games that went up into the line of what the devs thought about it, but then they screwed all up by just playing the same game they were developed and TRY TO WIN AT IT.

H&H is somewhat fun but it all depends on what you like to play in the game, but really the way it works now, the game is really alive for like 4 months at a server start, then die down to larpers like me and psycopaths roaming the lands: with no point in playing in the long run, once a larper looses his stuff for a psycho attack, he'll leave the game (as do all the pvp'ers who falls back too much) and wait for the new reset, so the game never have continuity and it keeps going like that.

What is fun is that all those games showed a large potential into gathering at least a few k players, but then the devs mostly tended to develope the game into weird, twisted directions that do not really favor the playerbase but themselves...these games could become something better but invariably get worse, and at least H&H is the one, now, wich have a real developement into the game.

i'm still looking for the perfect browser game

Hordes.io was impressive, but I'm taking a look at Isleward now, which claims to be "The world's only open source, moddable, roguelike MMO.", seems a bit laggy

try kingdomofloathing

it's old as fuck but it's been in constant near weekly development for nearly 20 years, despite its comical graphics the entire, has practically infinite character development and crazy strategy
if you can get passed the visuals it's an easy top tier game

Luckily it is not P2W.
