Haven and Hearth

[Bryan]

Hello all!

I've been recently playing Haven and Hearth and wanted to know if anyone in eGO has played it. If you have, let me know so I can get an approximate number of how many people do play it. We can possibly start a village (and maybe multiple villages depending on how big this group will grow) and even lead raids/explore together.

For those who haven't played it:

Haven & Hearth is a MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) set in a fictional world loosely inspired by Slavic and Germanic myth and legend. The game sets itself apart from other games in the genre in its aim to provide players with an interactive, affectable and mutable game world, which can be permanently and fundamentally changed and affected through actions undertaken by the players. Our fundamental goal with Haven & Hearth is to create a game in which player choices have permanent and/or lasting effects and, thus, providing said players with a meaningful and fun gaming experience.

Players start the game surrounded by a vast and somewhat unforgiving wilderness, with only the most basic tools of survival at their disposal. The use of fire is a thematic focal point of the game's mythos, and an early and important task will be the simple lighting of one. As the first hearth fires disperse the darkness of the surrounding wilderness, more pressing questions will present themselves to the players: Who are they? Where are they? And, most importantly, where are they going? From this point on, players will have to blaze trails of their own into the unknown, the wilderness and the future, and explore and affect the world of Haven & Hearth using only their own best judgment and a chipped stone axe.

As players progress, they will be able to acquire new skills and abilities, allowing them to perform a variety of tasks—such as the claiming of land, the construction of buildings and the cultivation of crops—each step forward making the basic task of survival somewhat easier. Having progressed far enough, players will, in time, be able to organize themselves into societies, from simple tribes and villages, progressing through republics, nation states and, ultimately, empires.

At least, those are our lofty ambitions.

Perhaps we can all start a base together sometime

We just randomly entered this unfinished base and took over on building it for him.

What we've done so far.

I'll pm you the secret code to come join us.

BUMP

Any takers? Very addictive game. We could use the help and we've accumulated a lot of land with a claim. We also are building up a palisade (first major defense against looters, griefers, and raiders). Take note though, this game is not for kids and requires a lot of in-game time for the first few weeks to get up to par.

Yeah I can understand that. Our chickens just died because I haven't been on lately.

Bah - sounded so promising too. Honestly - would LOVE a Single Player game like this (ala Minecraft, only this survival with AI doing the same thing). A mix between Minecraft Survival Mode and Civ 5, you know what I mean?

Is this one of those games where you need a certain amount of energy to do certain amount of actions? I hate those games. If not, I would love to try it out with you guys, if you're willing to teach me along the way, of course.

No it's not a FACEBOOK game lol, but me and Blakk haven't played it consecutively for a while now. I've been logging in to keep our land I think if you've been inactive for certain amount of days it'll declaim personal land, but not Village claims/land. But if you're interested I need someone to help me out with the work load, if I get back into it. If you need help with anything let me know. Also if you're interested you can set up camp with us; I'll send you our hearth secret to spawn next to us.
