H&H is a free indie MMO;
http://www.havenandhearth.com/ (http://www.havenandhearth.com/)
Exilian runs the free trading colony of Barcania, with its port of Orentum.
FOR NEW PLAYERS:
To start at our village (you'll never find it if you don't), when you make a new character do NOT go to the ladder, go to the man in brown at the top of the screen, right click on him and type the hearth secret. You'll then pop up outside my hut, which isn't much but is prolly a bit better than being in the middle of nowhere.
FOR ALL PLAYERS:
PM me, on here, for the hearth secret.
The rules of Barcania are quite simple; don't be a dick. We're not forming a "village", and so you're welcome to be a member of another village or settlement. Basically you're allowed to fence off land as yours, as much as you feel you can manage. Don't "claim" land that people have already fenced/built on, since not all players in the city will necessarily be highlevel enough to do proper claims. Public buildings and market areas will exist, all wells will be public property. You're welcome to settle in Orentum under the same terms.
So do come on, we can build Barcania as a great new city! :P
Current people in village;
- Jubal (Palantain)
- Marcus (Marcus)
- SOTK (Riofaal)
- Silver Wolf (John Shovelface)
-
I play, as you know. I may make a new character in this Exilian village and play it when I can I think.
-
Edited info and now advertising on the H&H forums (with the prerequisite that new members come via here). :D
-
I MUST PLAY IT!!!
-
Pm'd you and BN, that brings us up to 5 when you both get online.
-
Buildup is SOOOO slow.
-
What kind of buildup?
Also, can you and ryan move your hearth fires as soon as possible? I can't actually get into my house at the moment since yours is blocking the door. :/
-
huh. ok.
The buildup of my character.
All I can do is make fires and axes.
-
Get carpentry and you're away. Seriously.
Start by building lots of fires, just to get LP, then get the basic skills like foraging and carpentry and you suddenly have LOTS you can do. Starting in a settlement feels slower because you're not dodging boars all the time like I was, but it'll pay off. :D
-
If only it would let me f***ing connect.
-
Server crashed, not sure when it will come back on...
-
Its back up atm :)
-
See you all at the colony B)
-
A new life awaits you in the Off-world colonies! A chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure!
-
what game is that? I might play :P?
P.S.
Talking to CG
-
I'll try it too... I'll just have to wait for the summer brake...
-
thats actually from the movie Blade Runner, your post made me think of it lordryan ;)
but there is a game based on the movie, of the same title, made in '97 which was quite fun :)
-
Guys, If you want to make runestones. GO AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN, make them, pick them up then teleport back. We can't afford to lose any more of our local sources of stone.
-
Jubal! I have found something important! There is a giant plains with a lot of chickens in it! I'll show you when you get on :D!
-
From the H&H Homepage:
"The server is currently shutting down...
Currently saving all maps
-
Darnit. :P
-
Where? I think that's from when it was rebooted after crashing maybe?
-
I've tried it... But it's lagging horribly...
-
Jubal I've seen a bow in some guys basket... Should I steal it ?
-
I died.... Dang it >_<
-
Oh my god...
What about your claim. Your stuff?
Do you have any idea where your remains are?
-
Hey Jubal I've taken a bone from one of you wicker baskets... I needed it for my bone saw, but I've left a string nettle and a clay ball in your closet in return...
EDIT : I've also added my name into the player list
-
I've found your remains Ryan. :(
-
I've met some guy near our village... He's probably going to join us ... Jubal I'll give you his heart secret so you can contact him...
-
Damn I got visited by both boar and bear... I'll have to finish my fence tomorrow... Too bad I didn't have a bow... I could hide behind the fence and shoot the bastard...
Anyway I'm probably going to buy yeomanry and cartography skills ...
-
I have come back :knight: ! Although in a rather weakened state... I got most of my skills back, including Yeomanry. I got to keep all my stuff, besides the stuff I was wearing when I died.
Edit: fixing some stuff
-
Somebody stole everything we have... Even damn logs from my closet...
We should track them down, kill them, destroy their village and rape their cattle!
-
:) SAKE!!
-
I have just made one tell me when you shall be on cause i don't have a clue what is going on!
btw, I'm Psychic
-
You are definitely NOT Psychic, or you would be able to win the "Guess who Posts Next" every time :P
-
The most sarcastic person around.....
btw, I'm Psychic
Anyway Goldy, I'm online now and am usually on around this time :) .
Edit: Quote fail
-
I can try....... Soon I shall be one step ahead of you all.....
BRING ON WORLD DOMINATION
-
Damn lag....
-
Lag? It's been down for 10 hours.
-
Yes it seems to have crashed
-
I know... But it crashed because of the lag....
-
Crashes are pretty common. Just have to wait until Jorb or Loftar is at home to start it up again :/ .
-
I can wait anymore ! It's down for more than 13 hours!
EDIT : are they trying to kill me ?! I need my precious, my sweet little precious ! :D
-
Zephron will probably join us :)
-
Ye, I'll prolly join, my nick will be Christopher Greasemenace
-
So wait, im reading the H&H forum here... and there saying there gonna restart world 3! Are you serious? Were gonna have all our characters wiped...
.. well that can also be a good thing... it will finally level the playing field
-
Where?
-
This sounds interesting :

-
Oh for Christs sake it's still down ! When are they going to fix it ? :(
-
This evening.
Jorb is out partying or on holiday or whatever Swedish people do (Nudge Nudge).
-
It's working !
-
Soz I had to go SW but unfortunately my pants laptop is playing up again and i must leave it for a while..... damn it stupid thing!!!
-
The server is down again :(
Btw. I have a new way of recognizing ppl. in my game ... I'll explain it when I get a proper screenshot...
-
A grand total of 20 minutes. Wow.
-
Up again :)
-
Btw. sorry for my English, I'm having a terrible headache... And my keyboard is terribly stiff...
-
apparently I can't use Cristopher Greasemenace so I'll use Fishbreath Jacques as my name
-
Ppl I can tell you this : with all these cock jokes, no one could ever feel unwanted...
-
Why not just post the entire conversation YOU contributed to :P
-
huh ... I didn't save it...
Anyway this is how i recognize ppl. in game :
(http://209.85.48.18/7061/188/0/p1014387/renaming_example.jpg)
Open up your kin list and click on the white name box of the person you wish to rename (one on the right above the color selection)...
Then write anything you want and press enter.
That's it ... Simple and effective...
I also use light blue for Exilian members, and green for xyu because he/she's always online...

Hah - I just went back to Barcania for old time's sake... it's wierd seeing the whole place in ruins having known it at the brief and glorious height of its power. :P
There's a farm which may or may not be active down at Orentum, then up at the town centre the palisades are full of holes, the crops are growing wild... it's absolutely classic. Most of the houses etc are still standing though, as is the town hall, which surprised me a little.
-
Yeah I've logged in two or three weeks ago... It was kind of sad to see everything in ruins...
-
There's a whole new world out there now, it was reset not long after you two posted from what I can gather.
-
I know, I've heard the news from Zephron... AFAIK metal is much more common now...
-
There is yet another new world, with a new (and slower paced) LP system in place. Pretty interesting new slant to the game with it though.
If anyone feels like setting up another Exilian colony with me, send me a PM for my hearth secret.
-
Wait, can you build in this think like in a Minecraft way?
-
Not really. Its a sandbox game, but its not 3d (2d isometric instead) and not quite as open (in that you cant change the actual land shape apart from vegetation and mining inside caves). There is also a range of things that you can build that gets wider the more skills you learn, rather than being able to completely build anything you like from scratch.
Also there is permadeath and plenty of rather unforgiving animals out there, not to mention other players whose aim in the game seems to be kill everyone else for lulz (not that there will be any of them yet since the world is only 2 days old).
-
Ah, those damned griefers. I think I'd play, but I don't think I'd have time. I don't even have minecraft, so I guess I wouldn't be active in this.
Sometimes I wish I had never known RTW :P
-
Sometimes I wish I had never known RTW :P
Shut. the. ****. up. :P
Never say that.
-
Anyone apart from me and Ryan play this anymore? We should make another colony in summer :) .
-
I've heard that they've changed a lot of things since the last time I've played... The whole grid was reset not so long ago, right ?
-
Yeah there was a map reset in March, and a new LP system was implemented. Basically you no longer get LP from your character's actions, but by studying "curiosities". There are loads of different curiosities, with different amounts of LP gained from each one. Studying them takes time, but overall it is an improvement since there is no longer an urge to grind just to get up to a decent level.
-
i'd be up for starting in this thing, whatever it is. I'm about to register - what do I need to do to join the colony?
-
Zephron and I started playing Haven&Heart again on new server.
There were some changes in the game mechanics, actually exactly what SotK said.
-
This looks kinda cool, Jubal you should update the first post with some info
-
It's a fun game, although Exilian's village was in world 4 and its now up to world 6. I'd maybe be open to joining a new Exilian village if enough other people wanted to play too though :) .
-
I live on the worlds edge :P
The world 4 is much smaller than the world 6 in which we used to have a colony. Lots of corpses lying around...
-
I had a little camp with my brothers over Christmas, logged in last night to see how it was and all our stuff has been stolen :( . Also no-one I'd met had logged in for 6-9 weeks :( .
-
I think that I'll join in if we could get a 4-5 people "village". Also, last time I played (Last year, July-August?) everything was still lag-aholic. Hope they've fixed this!
-
We should start another village. I miss that one over Christmas, pity it all got nicked, still what do you expect, it is a MMORPG... :-\
-
Ill play when Ive got time between other gaming and homework :P.
If you guys are up for it.
-
I haven't played H&H before, but it looks good. SUmmer maybe, when we all have less to do?
-
Sounds like a good plan to me :)
-
Same here! Summer is the time of the video-games!
-
Are people still up for this? Playing tabletop RPGs has made me crave this game again.
-
I've stopped playing it right after my friend and I founded a village. We were too bored to continue.
-
I'm still up for it!
-
Yep, me and SW even had iron, but the game just got too repetitive so we gave up :(
-
World 7 has just started. New Exilian colony anyone?
-
I wish I had the time.
But I can't. I have to study for finals.
-
Sure I'm up for this :)
-
I seem to be a little bad. I've run out of food so went hunting and got killed by a boar. :(
-
Best advice I can give is read the wiki on everything you see. Also anything which is big and animal-like is BAD.
-
hehe found that out :P
I've got like 8 skills now or something. Can fish, make shoes, woodstuff, pottery. Apparently I'm not allowed to eat frogs. I have wicker baskets full of them :P
-
Well, if we get more peoples we can start an actual colony :P
-
Aw man. Got knackered by a boar again. Still haven't found any food. Toon be gonna die :S
EDIT: Lol killed a rabbit. Problem solved :D
-
Day 3.
Timber House built. 2 crates of fish caught. Boars are an ever present issue. Damn boars. I picked up the combat ability but still don't have an attack button, is this normal? Who knows? Next skill to pick up will be archery. Gonna get myself a bow. Shoot dem boars. Also an army of pesky ants have invaded the formidable wall of sticks encircling my turf, they must be taught the error of their ways. As soon as I find out how to fight. Clay pit is a fair walk to the south west, but I have been stockpiling clay so have a steady stream of toy chariots to inspect. Stats are still incredibly low and the neighbours are Russian. They don't seem to like me much.
-
Get a slingshot. It's way better than the bow.
And don't try to fight those boars until you get way stronger. Even with an armor and a sword you would lose a lot of health.
The only way you can do it right now is to stock up on rocks, get a slingshot and a boat.
Lure the boar towards the shore, get into the boat and sail away. Then take your sling and shoot the damn thing.
Be sure to have a rock on the other side of the river, because one inventory full of rocks surely won't be enough to kill it.
And if I remember correctly you'll need a high level of perception which helps you to shoot faster and more accurate.
Trust me on this one. I have some experience.
Ash and I played this game for a long time.
We even had our own village encircled with palisade walls. We also had a mining complex and underground walls.
Even a planted forest with trees of higher quality.
And apples. Because I love apples. :P
-
A slingshot? Hmm, I was going to go for the irony of shooting a boar with the bones of another boar... But that could work. The first boar kill must be an honorable challenge in hand to hand combat though. He is if nothing else a foe worthy of a fitting death! :P
Farming is next on my agenda, after shooting :D
Thanks for the tips :)
-
If you really go all ninja on that boar, please make a recording.
Because it's going to be fun.
But you're going to die.
Seriously.
Don't try that. :P
Farming is a much better option.
-
I seem to be developing really slowly. I have all the basic skills (fishing, hunting, pottery, masonry, carpentry, glassworking, mining, smithing, clothh making, foraging, plant lore, plus couple of others) but my stats are all in the 10's and I read online that you need like 100-200 to do anything aweseom. Am I doing ok for now or do I really need to spend some LPs on stats?
Leeches fix what damage the boar does, I'll take a few shots at him...Wait, they don't regen health out of combat do they?? :S
Argh fekkin russian dude stole all my stuff :(
-
Yep, beware of Russians. That's why we built the damn palisade in the first place. :P
I honestly can't remember if boars and bears regenerate health during combat. I'm 100% sure that deers do, however.
However, if they are left alone for some time, I'm quite sure that they do.
And yes, you really need to develop stats.
Especially some perception in the early stages of developing your character, as it helps you to spot more things which you can pick up from the ground.
But you get stats by eating different types of food, not by spending LP, right?
Your skills are mostly fine, except glassworking which is completely useless. Mining and smithing are also useless at this point (since you've only started and won't be able to use them at all for quite some time). You should have spent those points on something else.
-
Sorry not the stats I meant, food has got me a good deal of int and str somehow. Eating rabbit, rat, berries, sturgeon and roach since the start.
The ones like survival, exploration and carpentry are upgraded by LP. I've only spent a couple of points in exploration and one in carpentry so far :S
Also, is it possible to lock the gate I made? Not that it stops him from demolishing my walls :P
Skipping archery and going straight for Yeomanry...Claiming my land. /grumble :P
-

Nope you can't lock those gates on simple fences. You'd have to build a palisade wall.
Picking Yeomanry is a good decision.
-
bears and boars only regen to full if you leave combat.
I kinda miss H&H, last thing I did before quiting was killing bear unarmed, at one point your stats and armor just excede anything even a bear can offer. It was a chalenge though.
btw. SW, I had Q 45+ leeches, those things rule, healing like crazy but destroying SHP realty fast.
-
Yeah, just eat a lot of pumpkins and other +STR foods.
Apparently after eating a ton of pumpkins you'll resemble an anabolic-steroid fueled monster.
Just be sure to have a table full of cutlery.
If I remember correctly, they improve food stat bonuses. Or something similar which makes you gain stats faster.
-
they lower the amount of hunger food regenerates so you can eat more food and increase stats without overfeeding.
spamming "call the thunder" before engaging bear in 1v1 and strangling him to death, best fight ever.
-
Probably something like this:

-
lawl, where did you dig that up?
-
I have no idea.
I just googled "strangling a bear". :D
