They will simply move on, so your solution of closing Haven is very flawed. Should they close haven, people will simply leave Seatribe all together. (Or at least until purity is no longer teh suk)

I would much rather have players shifting between games based on content rather than leaving to possibly never return.

You may be right, but all those HnH players will probably stick with Jorbtar and hope for the best. Yes the purity update sucked, but they've hurt the high stat guys the last 2 updates (*****, that multi-skill bump alone was a newb weapon from heaven) and this mushroom update killed one of the high stat guys favorite foods while traveling (Witch's hats).

More importantly ask yourself this: What happens if HnH does win. Jorbtar is being given a chance here by Paradox. If HnH wins that means their Dev futures are in doubt. Their own game may hurt their Dev chances. It's almost Shakespearean.

Haven players currently have (and always have had) the option to play Salem and nearly all of them I would assume, have done so. The games are different and Salem is just not for some players. Denying them a game that they do enjoy and forcefeeding them one that they do not will not helping the devs in any possible way.

Anyways I am off to bed now, I'll check in on this thread again in the morning before work

.....Except to make money for Paradox and give the Dev's a great future in the World of Gaming Development. Again, I'll say, they don't have to end HnH, Just declare it done for development purposes. Force the HnH players to realize that it's not going to develop for the next 2, 3, 4 years.

Closing HnH isn't the only thing they have to do by any means. The advertising for this game is pretty bad. Basic **** like their Wiki and their noob video helpers need to get done and updated. Finding this game is hard enough. It shouldn't take a wiki or youtube search for a new person to learn how to start a fire.

I suppose this is Paradyox we're talking about here. The bargain bin of game companies.

If player numbers head further down the drain, there is nothing stopping the devs from wiping everything. Preferably there will be only one server and new servers added only if the first one gets too crowded.

200 people and 30,000 accounts (or whatever the hell it's up to) is too many for one server. We're still bigger or equal to when they split the servers.

You are obviously not participating in the beta for Salem then. We are here to find bugs and amuse jorb. The rest they do as they please.

You forget that 100+ pros created many accounts... one for farming, few for trading, few more for spying, some for transporting and alt storage and one to rule them all... I mean few for murder alts ;)
of course you should make x3 for everything I wrote.

Zero interest in a restart. Our faction would quit the game with a restart/wipe and I'm sure many ACTIVE players (not idiot trolls like staxjax/colesie/dallane who have not been a factor in Salem for 5 months) would quit the game as well.

Why do you ask?

Changes are coming so slowly, the game went back months in development with the purity nerf. Anyone that has actively raided in the last two months knows how overpowered defenses are. With the current system 20 braziers HV's will become impregnable fortresses for years to come. You can make a character off 0% purity foods to 150 biles in a couple of weeks. Or you can spend hundreds and hundreds, probably thousand+ hours grinding this crap with 0% humus on a fresh server for a 200 bile character. There are NO game motivations to try out ANY of this backwards nonsense industry additions. A wipe in the games current state will be a bunch of un-raidable towns and claims with an un-fun piece of **** farming/industry system. People don't understand, NO ONE will be able to dominate the server there will be NO PvP or sieges because NO ONE will have characters able to tank more than 3 braziers.

Yeah Candy Gang has 'titan' characters but it's the only reason we are still playing. Production facilities have been untouched for almost a month now, no one plays the game outside of making raid food and rangering. The worst thing is, most of the people crying about a server restart are terribad forum posters that suck at the game to begin with and just troll on the forums. They wouldn't even play on a server restart.

Hey, I mention bugs and amusing the devs, didn't I. I'm pariticipating. :lol:

Hey retards, this thread is not about a wipe...well because, that is never going to happen. The best we can hope for is a new server, and as the poll shows, there are many more people NOT playing Salem that would like to play if there were a new server.
