Haven & Hearth

I honestly prefer the look of haven to salem. Might just be because i find the characters in salem to be horribly ugly.

This. Also, hey Clark

In all seriousness, if you think graphics > gameplay then you're definitely playing the wrong game.

I was just suggesting that people are probably not playing HnH for graphics.

But if you know of a good game that I could be playing then please do enlighten me.

Yes well neither of our sides are playing for graphics, but what happens when Salem game mechanics overtake H&H (and the 2013 changes are evened out) will everyone come over?

Being an active member in the haven community I have a rough idea of what the general mind-set is concerning Salem and to be honest, the majority of the playerbase simply wants Salem to either be completed, or to die. This is so that haven can be worked on again, of course. If the playerbase did not all migrate here after the Great Lag-Age of 2012 they certainly will not with the lag being fixed. Btw, Haven was at 450 players at around 9pm est tonight

It is very hard for me to compare H&H and Salem because while we had a pretty strong group in H&H, we could never keep players in Salem. So most of my experience in Salem was as a hermit. At its height, H&H had more people on one server than twice what Salem has on all three of it's servers.

Edit: Looking at the servers right now, H&H has more players.

So just the fact that Salem is beta and it is easier to form groups in H&H, thanks for the info.

Not really no :/ Salem just feels ... Slow and clumsy in almost every way I can think of

Well fist off, Haven's at it's peak. It's fully developed. It has a dedicated group of players with long term commitments to the game. It's fixed the lag (which was only 6 months from what other people told me. But it's done with development, there's no way it's going to be getting any large influx of new players.

Salem is in the middle of development and promotion. Salem has a growing player base some who have never played HnH (Although it has stagnated because of the drain of HnH players with the HnH lag fix) . It has a future, while HnH has seen it's last update. I'll admit, the game mechanics have been in flux, but it's still in development. I predict that the first update with Horses, or Livestock, or most importantly Witchcraft and HnH players will come back to Salem.

And Salem has had over 450 players on between the 3 servers plenty of times.
