With World 16.2 almost here, I have only one important question.
Where is Razzbane?
Is this finally the year when he gathers the legendary Monkey Tribe once again and decides to fight against the bot empires, exploit abusers and all the people who somehow always know every bug before everyone else?
I have very good memories from playing with him years ago. Those were some of the funniest moments I've had in Haven & Hearth. Plenty of chaos, crazy ideas, unexpected adventures and somehow everything worked... most of the time.
As for me...
My greatest Haven achievement was getting my account stolen in Whateverbay. If you know, you know.
Now that everyone starts on one continent again, maybe history can repeat itself.
So...
Razzbane.
Are you coming back?
Or are we all going to accept our fate and become resources for bot factions with hundreds of alts?
If the Monkey Tribe returns, I will happily support the cause.
Good luck to everyone starting World 16.2.
Hide your cupboards.
Protect your village.
Trust nobody.
P.S.
Yes, I know...
His nickname is Razzbane.
But after so many years I still accidentally call him Razzabane.
Some habits never disappear.
A message to the developers
Another world is about to begin, but unfortunately the situation has barely changed.
The game's source code is still publicly available.
Bots are everywhere.
Many exploits that players have known for years are still not fixed.
Because of that, the biggest factions using automation and exploits will most likely dominate the world once again.
That is not healthy competition.
It discourages honest players from even trying.
It is becoming difficult to justify paying for subscriptions when success is often determined by bots running 24 hours a day or by people abusing game mechanics instead of actually playing the game.
Playing "for fun" is no longer fun when other players have advantages through automation and exploits.
Haven & Hearth is still one of the most unique sandbox games ever created.
That is exactly why many of us keep coming back.
We simply hope that one day fair play will matter more than bots, exploits and automation.
I sincerely hope World 16.2 proves me wrong.
And if not...
Maybe Razzbane and the Monkey Tribe will save Haven once again.
Good luck everyone.
