You will eventually be able to work together with tens, hundreds, or even thousands of players to build a sprawling metropolis... or trade from your own little humble homestead. The majority of the game is peaceful, as it is not heavily combat oriented. However, players will still often prey on one another. Click here to see a zoomable version of the above village, called “Whatever Bay.” This was a settlement that had almost 200 active players. It is important to note that although the game can be accessed completely for free with no limitations, you will have more progression, quicker, and slightly more inventory space, if you purchase the game for a one time fee of $15, and ADDITIONAL progression if you subscribe to the game ($7 a month. Cheaper in larger time increments.) The monetization is heavily modeled after EvE Online (before it became predatory), and also closely mirrors Albion Online (before it became predatory). If such a price is difficult for you, similar to Albion and EvE, you can purchase premium time from other players in-game, using in-game currency or barter. There are also limited run cosmetics (purely cosmetic, they aren’t usable in-game items) that are never recycled when they are finished with their run, which can also be purchased to donate to the developers, or to look silly in-game (see the above “pasta” hat). 3
- How do I begin to play? Go to the website, and create an account by registering here. You must have Java downloaded on your PC to play. If you have problems with Java, I recommend installing the Kami Client complete package here that comes with a Java distribution and solves most issues for players with Java compatibility issues. If you already have some experience with Haven and Hearth, or want to play as a “power user,” I suggest running the Ender Client as it comes with significant UI improvements and functionality. Clients can generally be found on the game’s forum, here. For either Ender Client or Kami Client, download with the links above, and place them into an appropriately named folder before you run them (create shortcuts to the launchers if you want). They’ll download and install the resources and files necessary for the game to function wherever you run their launchers. - How do I create my character? Once you’ve started the game, either through the “Play” button or by starting a client, you’ll need to log in. Once you’ve logged in, you’ll be able to select the “New Character” button, which will spawn you as a sprite in a pool of water. This is the game’s interactive character creation room. 4
