I definitely think that Russians like VVindy and the CoD guys are going to be back over here pretty soon so build up those defenses.

Apparently they're being DDOS'd by at least 2 groups on the new server. One guy talked about doing it in some chat which was reposted on the mega-thread. I'm guessing that we're going to be seeing more HnH players over here if all this keeps up and they don't cancel the subscription plan.

I can understand the Sadness about a payment model in cause of the ability to pay.
But look, there are two devs that spent so many hours, days, month, years for your gaming fun.
Why not pay them?
They should absolutely make money off the game. They just chose the worst possible way to spring it on the playerbase and then chose a dumb way of trying to make money.
Salem's system is pretty good and I have zero problem with how they run the store. I was worried about JC when he first bought the game and started trolling some of us but he's mostly stopped all that and they've really improved the feel of the forums and they ARE active dev's.
I was really surprised to hear Jorb tell us they've only made around $3000 dollars in donations over the last 7 years. I thought they'd have made more. That's nothing to what Salem's store brought in over the last year from what I've worked out. I'm sure Salem is still a part time job for all our dev's and it's split more ways but at least they make some money at it and it has a lot more room for growth and new players than HnH will ever have now.
