Maintenance downtime: Harddrive replacement (sigh)

LMAO. I'm talking nonsense? The right team of people or the right person can come along, steal this game, make HUGE profit.

The right team of people could make such a game from scratch in about 6 month. But they didn't all these years. Why?

This game is an innovative game. As is there's not really anything like it other than Salem. Even that's being harshly criticized.

This game is like Drawf Fortress/Gnomoria/many other clones, but with the direct control. Where's innovations?

Someone can come along and fix the lag. You know how many people will come flocking back once the lag is gone? I know my good friend and I would come back to playing this game if the lag were to be fixed.

I remember days back then without lag. Online was double current amount, at about 500-600.

It could be easier to make a clone, but to a business man, he'd see it to be a better profit to just fix the existing problems and throw in a few bones for the old dogs who play still.

The businessman will know that he pay people for 6 month and have the game up and running.
Or he pays the men 6 month and MAYBE they'd manage to succeed in refactoring/revamping the game by that time.

this game could {theoretically} be as big as say Runescape. Or WoW.

Nah, you are definitely talking nonsense.
I think it is a must to revrite the game from scratch to allow onlines over 1000.

Alright, you are a game developer after-all, so you'd know more about what it'd take to make a game and such, unlike me who's probably just been talking out his ass.

Just because noone's come to take this game in the past 2(?) years that this game has been going, doesn't mean it's unlikely that noone ever will.

This game only has a small audience. It's not you go to a gamers club in a local small town and they'd know instantly what game you're talking about. So, there's that when talking about why noone's bought this or something.

fiction has a point, this game does a good job appealing to the right audience, that audience just is NOT very big. im going to go on a guess and say about 80k of the 100k accounts made for this game are individuals, thats 80 thousand people who have, at some point, played this game. and how many people played this game at its peak? roughly a thousand, consecutively. how many play now? at MOST 100 consecutively, and thats on a good day. while this game has potential, the crowd just is not big enough for any real company to come and even look at buying this (thank god, nobody could do half as good as jorbtar could if they would just FUCKING WORK ON THIS GAME YOU CUNTS) *ahem* sorry, anyway, its not like this game would benefit from a big company ruining it

Did you try Wurm Online? Its very much like Salem. More complex, and first person, but uglier and much slower in development.



I just want Loftar&Jorb to take their time with Salem, so it can become good enough to fund Haven&hearth2 (or just make a Kickstarter lol)
Anyway, if its not fun for you in it's current state, there's plenty of other fish in the sea. Towns for example isn't bad either. A mixture of Dwarf Fortress and Majesty.
Dwarf Fortress' next huge update is on the horizon, too. And I heard, Wurm Online will get 1.0 soon, losing much of its ugliness by then.
And then there's a bagillion of interesting Kickstarter-Titles on it's way

Yes, I actually have tried it before. Didn't like it very much. Plus I'm not that much into first-person.

Salem is for all intents and purposes, H&H 2

Close but no taco.

Haven is not Salem.

You are a fucking moron. Salem couldn't lick Haven's balls, the only thing keeping Haven from having larger server numbers is the lag.
