Title: Haven and Hearth
Post by: Jubal on September 04, 2022, 10:36:27 PM
I've been playing this again recently. For those who don't know it, it's a permanently in development, very janky, cute but also brutal sort-of-MMO (that is, it's an MMO but the player base is tiny).

It's been interesting getting back to it. Because it's survival/crafting focused with a very changeable map etc, it's quite interesting to see it develop. Some of the player base is terrible, and I did indeed get randomly griefed a few days ago and knocked down to 2hp before being helped out by a kindly USian player who dropped some bandages over to my place. The game has permadeath, so dying is pretty bad, though you can inherit a certain amount of a past character's stuff and abilities.

Anyway here's my base, I've got a cave and a little farm-garden. This is not very optimised, good players have much more of a defensive palisade system, but it is pretty and I am a bit of an aesthete when it comes to these sorts of games.

If anyone wants to have a go, there's a way to build beacons to teleport in new players to be based near you (otherwise you're placed randomly on the GIANT world map) so feel free to give me a shout :)

Looks nice, is it free to play?

I might have a bit of a go this evening.

Yes, it's free :) The UI is janky and complex, but it is good fun. Not sure how around I'll be this evening but I'll try and get a beacon built so I can port you in to somewhere near where I'm based.

Cool! I've downloaded and started going through the first few missions.

Let me know how the beacon works once you have a chace to do that :)

Things are progressing! I am burning out a minehole to go yet deeper underground, and I have built a granary and made a lute :)

Joe/Anonyman/Brulb got griefed last night D:

We had a boat suddenly go aggressive on us near the Myrsary Thingwall. I got Brulb to jump out in the hope that he could teleport, but the guy chased Joe so I ran away instead.

In restrospect if I'd been quicker thinking I might have been able to steal the guy's boat, but ah well. I got out OK, Brulb is down to 12HHP so I guess my next job is nettle gathering and trying to work out how to tame sheep because we have a sudden need of gauze again.

Oh no :( That sucks. Let me know if I can help in any way

I still need gauze for a fell slash I got ages ago. I think clover is needed for the taming process? Was going to give it a go but before anything else I'm going to get Fort Tusk up and running (or: build some pallisades)

Yes. I think you can clover a mouflon and collect its wool without fully taming it so I may try that sometime.
