I've related so much to Ainz over the years. Out of my friend group who have all known each other since primary school days, I have consistently been the steward of my friends and my content, holding onto world saves / being the last active member not wanting the effort or memories to be forgotten. I have a Minecraft world save over 10 years old that has all their hard work still left as the day the last logged on. I maned the guild halls of ESO, RIFT, GW2, SW Galaxies, Archage, so many mmo's... I care about the memories had, and the creative effort put in, and like people saving old abandon ware, I too try to save all this. Digital or not the times shared and feelings felt were real, and I have no regrets taking up this role. It just can be saddening at times walking through the empty halls. If I was ever in Ainz positions, I'd do the same, preserve the memories of my friends at all cost
@@Von_Langstein It must be an honor to have a friend like you. Don't forget to also enjoy the present and create new memories of good times. Have a good life man, u are a real one.
MMOs dying has a very weird melancholic sadness that even when I have no investment in it - I mourn for them. Reminds me of the speech at the ending of Bladerunner. "...All those moments will disappear in time - like, tears in rain..." 😔 It's also why I hold FF14 so close to my heart. A game that died but rose from the ashes. Not more than a year ago I saw a reddit post, a memorial to a person who played both FF11 and 14. Their friend whom seemed to have the demeanor of one of those friendly older sort of gamers made the post - in earnest reverence to their lost friend, reaching out to any who knew them. People who shared more of their lives, laughter and loves cannot be taken for granted. Jack Elvaan from the Cerberus server. Every time I'm in Mor Dhona I visit his characters deity stone. I didn't know this person. But that story reached me so deeply. I never wish to forget them, I talk about what has happened in the game recently, or about my own friends. Anyways. That was all. MMOs and the memories from them and bonds are such a precious thing. These virtual worlds hold more than quests or pixelated scenery; they’re filled with the echoes of voices, countless adventures, and, most touchingly, memories of people who may no longer be there but whose presence lingers in every familiar place.
Oh man, that heavy heart feeling of knowing you're not gonna be able to explore and enjoy the world anymore soon. I remember that feeling strongly from Worlds Adrift as it was closing down, too
I feel nostalgia and sentimentality seeing all these creations, left to fade away. Its like when you find abandoned homes and bases in survival builders. Or play old games with the markers of old players. History digitally. It is wonderful. I wish we could preserve these worlds, these creations like we do with physical things in a museum! Thank you for the video! Subscribed.
man I love watching videos like these, especially from folks that have enjoyed dead/dying mmo’s like this. its a walk through memory lane that i can feel despite never having walked it myself. thanks for the cool video funny solo man
I think these old "alternative" MMOs are really interesting to watch. A good chunk of if not most of them have died off over the years but it's so fascinating to see more simpler games like runescape to an extent where not everything had a very player driven story like wow and 14. I would have never thought a semi-realistic game about making and keeping up a little plot of land would still be around all these years later.
This is amazing. The combination of the game having decay mechanics and so much time having passed makes for a pretty authentic ruins exploring experience.
Damn, this is a crazy hard video for me to watch. The idea that this is all gonna be gone is...rough. My wife is still a hardcore Rift player, so knowing it'll inevitably end up the same some day long down the road is hard to stomach. Thanks for the dread! Love it!
I've never heard of Haven and Hearth, but it was really cool seeing what the players put together. Player builds decaying when abandoned is a really interesting concept, and I appreciate your little stories about it. Having the context that even a basic wall takes several days to even start...that kingdom at the end was insane.
@@xSephironx some worlds, like world 7, have been around for a very long time. at the time of world 8 coming, world 7 had been running for a few years. You can still play world 7, if you have a verified account. But, that game and this version are completely different. There are shared mechanics, but, the original haven & hearth had such a unique feel to it, I don't think any game will ever duplicate it.
This exploration of a world I've never seen of before reminds me of the sense of exploration, the vast ruins found, and ingenuity of players on really old Minecraft anarchy servers like 2B2T.
Oh wow, it's been ages since I heard of Haven & Hearth. I think it was an old ProJared video that I saw. Crazy how time flies. Also, there's something sombre about exploring a dying world to the tune of RuneScape music. Absolutely on-point music selection as usual Rath.
What a strange and melancholic feeling seeing you walk into me and my friends old village. Now named poop by someone. Thank you for your kind words. Billy Bullseye got killed by ambush in his own dock, betrayed by those he once called kin for political reasons :') All the best. //Bullseye
This certainly looks interesting. Reminds me of Wurm, but a bit toned down... just a bit. The video felt surreal in ways. Like the last man alive wandering the earth moments before its end. What made it even more surreal was the moments when you came across those sleeping players. So close to being able to interact with someone else, anyone else, so close to sharing the final moments of the world, to being able to share the memories of its history, but instead they simply stayed sleeping. Makes you wonder for a moment about just what could they be dreaming of?
the best mmorpg ever , i been playing it for years . Always people come back for every world reset , the game keepts getting amazing with every new update
Holy moly, I remember playing this game in some sort of early alpha or something. Haven't seen it since. That must have been... 13 or 14 years ago? I played for about a week, but it stuck with me. Weird that i'm seeing this video. I remember pretending to be sick so I could stay home from school and just explore this game all day.
I saw the thumbnail and couldn't believe it. Haven and Hearth. I played hundreds of hours of that back in the day, the amount of times I'd start up a base only to have it wiped out by a swarm of Russian players. Good times.
When I went fishing with my friend we would stumble upon some russian bases near the side of the water. I remember we were sooo scared because the game had a system that if you broke into a house and steal something, people could literally sniff your trail all the way back to your camp. We had this trick that when you parked your boat next to a fence that when you got out of the boat, you would end up in that base. We stole soooo much high quality weed from russians back then.
Since W7 constant hermit lifestyle with bucket in one hand and ax in other, oh and don't forget that pipe :D PS : I was living under This is my swamp :D Thanks for showing them of.
What the hell, I might as well jump back in and give this new world a try. The first hours of a new world are always a pain, people will make dozens of naked characters just to wander around and bash random claim posts and since you haven't even unlocked fighting yet the only defence is half a dozen naked characters of your own standing in a circle around it to body-block while it sets.
I loved this video! I had never heard of Haven & Hearth but this looks so adorable and cool! Bit sorry I never got to play it. 😅 Thank you for sharing this chapter of gaming history! 👍
I remember playing Salem when it was in beta! It was made by the same guys that made HnH. Didn't end up sticking around very long on Salem, had fun while I played but it was alot to keep up with.
haven and hearth being in 3d now will never stop being fucking weird to me. i haven't played it in years (understatement, apparently 3d haven and hearth was a thing about a decade ago now,) but i have a lot of fond memories of this game from the ye olden times. i'm surprised and happy to see the game still has a dedicated player base all this time later. i'll certainly have to give it another look when the next worlds start up.
Oh wow, I played so much of this game over 10 years ago. I think it was world 6? Roommate and I got at least to metalcrafting though I can hardly remember much of our achievements. This video reminded me about the game & seeing there was just a reset, I've been playing the last several days. With any luck, I should have my palisade walls up tomorrow & can finally relax a little. ^^'
Damn.... I know the feeling you had. There was this game i used to play. Endless online. I used to play it all the time. It was jank, it was rough and it was fun.... I miss it still.
the official endless is back up and revamped, it's fun for the nostalgia, hundreds of online players. I spent a lot of time in that game when I was younger haha
I remember getting into this game back in the day 'Just' as the dev transitioned to pay to play and I was broke, fresh out of school and had no job, fond memories from what little I got to play tho. God Speed.
@@rathgames ah, I must have gotten my wires crossed, it's been years so I must have lost some of the finer details, thanks for the clearification, I'll have to set aside some time to dip back into this gem and thank you for all the effort you put into your videos and your comunity 🫡
Haven and hearth looked way way different back when I played it. I think it was kind of 2D isometric? Solid cozy grind game though. The worlds would be reset every 1-2 years or so - so a dying world was never the end.
I played this game longtime ago and it didn't look even like this graphically. It was just isometric. I remember you had to catch male & female moths and put them in a closet to make em mate to eventually produce silk i think. The whole process was very intricate but seriously fun somehow as well.
Haven and Hearth referenced in 2024? ebic Played this game like crazy a few years back. Loved it to bits. Not sure if I have the time to play it as much nowadays, but maybe I can drag some friends back with me lol.
Just found out about this game a few hours ago and I'd be interested until you mentioned loosing all XP on death and having the possibility of being griefed out of recovering possibly hundreds of hours of leveling is just a level of pain I don't want to inflict on myself even if the "Cozy fantasy project zomboid" vibes do seem appealing.
There are other ways. You can pray to your ancestors to gradually retrieve your progress, or have your realm give you a state funeral, which is a bit costly, but acts as a burial without a body. At most you can only retrieve 45% of your progress. Doing nothing, will always get you 15%. Personally, I have played for years and never been attacked, or even died. If you do want to try, now is the best time.
This looks like something i'd love to play but missed it. Been a OSRS player for 20 years now. But this brings my love of builidng city builder/scavenger and osrs together it appears.
It really looks like some post-apo when you just get out of ruble that was your home and start exploring to find familiar places to just see them crumbled like your own home Sad...
Interesting video, crazy how much time people dedicate to games like this even knowing it's all going to disappear... Reminds me a lot of Rust, but on a much bigger scale. I don't think it's my cup of tea, but maybe it's the kind of game where I'd wander a good bit and just look at what is around
Wait hold up - H&H received a major, 3D update?? Never knew this - I saw that the devs made a sequel of sorts (Salem), but never could get into the way it played.
Haven is a great game, and if allowed could be one of the greatest sandbox open world games. I think Jorb and Loftar need to embrace selling the game whole and developing it as a single player/co op or private server realm. The reality is this genre is dying and honestly has been more or less dead. I use to no life the game and do raids, crushing people, killing people and plundering loot but these days I gotta work and have a family so I put the game down. Truly a shame.
This game sounds lovely...well it did until you explained how people can ruin each other. That's probably what happened all the time until people got fed up with it. Now it looks like a Zombie Apocalypse without any Zombies ever having been around
Wait Haven and Hearth as a game died?, damn i remember dumping so much time into this game but never being able to get into the 3D version, sad to hear it died
Isnt this game still running? I thought I saw it just get released on steam now? Or is this just remembering a server before the wipe similar to how Tarkov has seasonal wipes?
Was a big fan of the game, but its too much time input and having another player come by and wreck it with prep depending on walls or just outright killing you because they wanted to is incredibly disheartening. That including the massive amount of backstabbing going on because, "its a video game" and people don't care too much about trust to a stranger over the internet. I've made a lot of friends and lost a lot due to drama. I would never go back to this game and just keep the good memories as just memories.
These poor people in the comments. and you're just hearting some and the ones you respond to you go along with the people who legit think the game is dead now. The game wasn't shut down, they reset it every year, which quite a few people here seem to not notice. It's also disappointing you don't mention that in the beginning of the video. Now people who are too lazy to look now clicked off and didn't bother to look more into it. Great!

It really looks like some post-apo when you just get out of ruble that was your home and start exploring to find familiar places to just see them crumbled like your own home
Sad...
Interesting video, crazy how much time people dedicate to games like this even knowing it's all going to disappear...
Reminds me a lot of Rust, but on a much bigger scale. I don't think it's my cup of tea, but maybe it's the kind of game where I'd wander a good bit and just look at what is around
hahaha no way, I lived on an island not too far from the twix factory. such an impressive build
I would love to try the game now even when its dying it looks appealing for me.
Then go play it!
oooooooooooooooh i fucking love ghosts like this, things of what once was, wondering what it was like back then...
Shout out from Borgenholm, or was it Borgenburg? To anyone who found it. Sadly I just don't have the time to play atm, maybe W17.
i really enjoyed this video
@@storybookdreaming oh thank you
Wait hold up - H&H received a major, 3D update??
Never knew this - I saw that the devs made a sequel of sorts (Salem), but never could get into the way it played.
place looks awesome : )
The RuneScape music 😅
Haven is a great game, and if allowed could be one of the greatest sandbox open world games. I think Jorb and Loftar need to embrace selling the game whole and developing it as a single player/co op or private server realm. The reality is this genre is dying and honestly has been more or less dead. I use to no life the game and do raids, crushing people, killing people and plundering loot but these days I gotta work and have a family so I put the game down. Truly a shame.
We make such complex mandalas....
Imagine creating a Settlement with Rath
This game sounds lovely...well it did until you explained how people can ruin each other. That's probably what happened all the time until people got fed up with it. Now it looks like a Zombie Apocalypse without any Zombies ever having been around
Honestly the raids are incredibly rare to see, and so long as you're careful with revealing where you are, you very rarely get attacked.
How did I never see this game before!
You used to play HnH? :o holy moly
what the heck this game looks so good how did i miss out on this
@@sporm13 its still up
Oh, wow, I hadn't ever even heard of this game. Shame it's closing :(
damn i remmeber projared making a video about it in beta or alpha. didnt even recognise it.
q30 chickens "mighty homestead" xD
The chickens were my worst part ok I had a lot of better stuff than those I swear
O god you just took me back years,,, I remember when it was shittier looking and I would rush home to play.
54 Hours for a Fuckign WALL????!!! no wonder this game died
Using Oldschool Runescape music was the right choice
This looks so interesting too bad I'm learning about it too late :(
Its not too late :0 you can grab it on steam right now!
You gotta lay off the clickbait titles they're scaring the hos man.
Wait Haven and Hearth as a game died?, damn i remember dumping so much time into this game but never being able to get into the 3D version, sad to hear it died
@@DCPTF2 no the game is still around, just that world died
GGS
Id love to keep playing but i get burnt out by the obligatory time sink, and the swamp rejects were very very rude
When you were playing, were AD still around? When me and my friend played it was almost a decade ago during my time at college.
@@dra6o0n i never heard of them but I was in a very small corner of the world
Gg
Isnt this game still running? I thought I saw it just get released on steam now? Or is this just remembering a server before the wipe similar to how Tarkov has seasonal wipes?
@@Muffinbottomz its a wipe similar to tarkov yeah, so seeing the world before its gone and replaced
Was a big fan of the game, but its too much time input and having another player come by and wreck it with prep depending on walls or just outright killing you because they wanted to is incredibly disheartening. That including the massive amount of backstabbing going on because, "its a video game" and people don't care too much about trust to a stranger over the internet. I've made a lot of friends and lost a lot due to drama. I would never go back to this game and just keep the good memories as just memories.
I don't know why devs think open PVP is ever a good or fun idea. It just discourages new players from playing the game.
is the runescape music from the game or did you add it lol
@@SirXtC i added it in
with that cruel PvP I understand why this game die!
The game itself is fantastic, but the griefing and politics were just no fun.
These poor people in the comments. and you're just hearting some and the ones you respond to you go along with the people who legit think the game is dead now. The game wasn't shut down, they reset it every year, which quite a few people here seem to not notice. It's also disappointing you don't mention that in the beginning of the video. Now people who are too lazy to look now clicked off and didn't bother to look more into it. Great!
@@Gutigwolfe great :^)
Holy crap is this similar to OSRS? Edit: Nvm full world pvp is dumb
Wait, when did it become 3d?????
Omg I wanted to try playing this again but COULD NOT REMEMBER THE GAMES NAME.
@@fudgemerchant well its up on steam now
