This is my christmas gift to you, enjoy. You might learn a lot from this!
It started several years ago, just before w10. A friend of mine from Eve Online - Zachary known also as Andromalis showed me this game. Start was rough, i had my first pvp (attempt of drowning) second day. After a week we part our ways with Zachary and i founded my first village, recruited several noobs and we led happy noob life. I rapidly grasped basics of hnh and i learned things like mammoth hunting. Just by myself, nobody taught me that. Then one day something happened that changed my hnh fate of a insignificant noob. A naked alt was under our palisade, claiming they are from local big faction - it was Orca from AD faction. We agreed to cooperate. We were bringing salt and other localized resources, they were giving us some obsolete quality industry stuff, like loom or spinning wheel, but it was good exchange. They were asking us if we wanted to learn how to FEP and fight properly, I was very keen to learn and fight. I talked with several people from AD faction by that time. Then one day me and my villagers decided to go hunting, we wanted to use roads from AD village and we were ganked by bored Sacraer from AD faction, despite adolescent Felix and somebody else from AD faction were saying we are allies. That was my first death as Sacraer killed my char that day. An ally. Orca in short tried to give me some small amounts of food saying 'sorry, but grab this and fuck off'. I went with this unfair behaviour on forum, where as an answer she started to defend her and Sacraer action with lies. As many of you know a standard reaction in hnh community.
Part of us moved to Northern Kingdom faction and i was taught there how to play better, fep properly (with 1k charisma alt feast and broken symbel)
I was taught there the very basics of pvp (except how to run - I have no idea how this faction functioned if people didn't know things like that), joined the militia and we sieged
AD village, who lacked fighters to defend - I wonder why! Looted like 60kg of pepper and some silk - a nice treasure for, still, a noob like me that world.
I finished my first world with 4k-6k stats, all but one credo and some stupidly high amount of uac because of quest giver exploitation (all big factions used it)
World 11 starts. I recruited vast amount of people. Terrible mistake. Most of them were total noobs and casuals. Despite the odds we managed to have, for short period of time, top quality of metal infrastructure, but only because of sheer luck of having q300+ cave anglers under our village. I killed MANY anglers that world
That was a world where tools softcapped not hardcapped animals. I opened trade topic on forum and on discord, and i learned why top factions clinged so hard to being best every world (This is less true nowadays as quality is more equalized - very good change). I believe top faction every world earned around 1000 tokens. Maybe even more.This is first world i had to use my moral codex of punishing thieves, as we had plague of them inside the village. Nothing helped, so i scrapped the project and soon after finished the journey with W11. We lacked people wanting to learn pvp and overall quality of gameplay was very low.
W12 starts. Me and my trusted friend joins Ozzy. Another terrible mistake, as this group tried to exploit us. There was drama around salt i took from salt node (as if this belonged to them XD), but overall horrible communication between us and them was a cause Ozzy stole from me and this triggered my moral codex against thieves. He was murdered and is still mad at me for this, despite he lost only few hours of progress as it was day 3 of world. Pure retardation XD Another big faction hates me since that day.
Nothing more worth mentioning happened that world. A significant gain of fame nonetheless.
W13 starts. I try to rebuild my crew as most of people I know aged and dropped from HnH. Family and work and stuff. There was this guy, Spruceminator or someone like that i recruited, despite allies and ex Ozzy's villager telling me he is 100% spy. Spruceminator swore he is not a spy and as collateral he agreed to deposit few tokens. I gave
him a chance. Guys, guess what! A naked alt bashed everything everywhere we went. This is how these people are, 100% toxicity and griefers. I started investigation, asked people if somebody knows anything, despite it was without a doubt Spruceminator. I wanted to be fair, stalled the decision if i should return the tokens or no. I never did. This is why I'm called by my enemies a scammer to this day and to this day they leave random runestones scattered around the world saying 'Razzbane was here' and occasionally adding to this N words like a children they are. Very nice as it just makes me more famous and people interacted with me because of that. Things like that help traders
They are very butthurt about this to this day.
By the way, why would I want to scam somebody for few tokens if I could earn hundreds every world and in addition selling stuff mostly underpriced (I could earn even more if i clinged to high prices)
W14. I joined WB. Made new friends, traded. Gained a lot of fame as top trader in WB and maybe even in that world. Very positive world. 0 dramas involved.
W15. Me and my crew joins Killface (yes the same guy who was raided few days ago!) a spy or thief was stealing in there, a knarr was missing and other stuff, some people tried to blame us. We left, rejoined WB again. These people host a rat spy for two worlds straight. Absolute chads. Very well deserved as killface was ratting my position to Ozzy's group (I was KOed because of that XD). Just stay away from these people guys.
if not rejoining WB it would be terrible world for us.
Recent events, raids and WB.
This world is dominated by spies and people who think its okay to sell friends to other people. Fire and Ice, for like third time since its creation had impostor opening whole village. Ozzy's ally who lived in raided Russian village opened it to Snail and they called that village WB allies as an excuse of insider out raid. Pathetic. Killface I won't even comment any further.
Whole WB was killed by its members not by Snail and other factions. Poor leadership and spies impostors.
As for their main reason of 'child predator' - Its just an excuse - they would siege and destroy WB nonetheless. It helped convince rats tho.
Amount of toxicity and grief by spies/impostors was never higher, all fuelled by that big alliance of Balls Bay. This is your true enemy.
Merry christmas!
