Haven and Hearth - Exilian's Colony

[Jubal]

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.

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.

[Silver Wolf]

I know, I've heard the news from Zephron... AFAIK metal is much more common now...

[Son of the King]

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?

[Son of the King]

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

Shut. the. ****. up.  

Never say that.

Anyone apart from me and Ryan play this anymore? We should make another colony in summer .

[Silver Wolf]

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 ?

[Son of the King]

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?

[Silver Wolf]

Zephron and I started playing Haven&Heart again on new server.

There were some changes in the game mechanics, actually exactly what SotK said.
