“We haven’t found the upper limit with Haven yet. The maximum we’ve seen is 1,300. With the hardware upgrades, maybe 2,000 to 2,500 is the true maximum, but we definitely want to allow for transfers between servers too.”

i like the cathedral idea where you would have to do a large amount of work together; by both building and protecting it afterwards

Just the prospect of large, coordinated group projects sounds amazing =)

Those are the best things to do in Haven and Hearth, too, especially when you have reached a point where quality and stat griding is a awful bore. :>

I've played other PvP games where you could build these, and even was included as a 'victory condition' or provided small bonuses. Anyone else play Travian? If so, you'll know part of what I'm talking about. I've been playing A Tale in the Desert, too, and they're great form of competition between groups in a game with no actual combat.

I'll be looking into Salem when it comes out, at first I was just going to make a donation for whatever Salem's cost was, and continue playing HnH, but I really like what you guys are doing. Keep up the good work.

So, just watching that trailer brought down my excitement ten fold. God forbid, I hope that didn't take any time of development.

I was hoping for some gameplay footage. :( Otherwise, it at least piques my interest. :)
