One Hour One Life Forums

I get it, the game is supposed to be frantic and challenging.  Eveing was challenging enough before the update. But what a lot of eletists don't understand is frantic and challenging =/= fun. For most of us, anyway. When I get home from school or work, as of right now, OHOL is the game I wouldn't want to be playing. I don't want to be stressed out of my mind playing a life simulator. I've really tried to like this update but right now it's impossible for me.
I was a girl in a village with a steady supply of clothes and it had a building. I had a sealskin coat, rabbit fur boots, hat, and pants, and I was still on the cold side and nowhere near the middle. I saw a baby run away with a full set of clothes so I tried to chase after it, but it crossed into the jungle and through the desert, so I knew getting the clothes back would be a death trap. I was the only person making compost, and every one of my composted soil was used on maintaining the berry farm that would be plucked clean in minutes. As I was rushing with a sharp stone to cut the wheat I grew I acidentally ran into some mosquitos. I stayed on a grassy biome and went to two boys who were farming carrots. My temperature was already max. I said F to them, and they were within my screen and were moving so I know they saw me. I was clicking on a carrot frantically and they ignored me. They were both wearing a chest piece of clothing each, so after I died I assumed they were looting my dead body. I was 41. Maybe they thought I outlived my use?
Overall the update removes the fun of the game for me. Everyone is just rushing around, there's no more talking or roleplay. (Not that standing around munching berries is a good idea, but some light rp really breathes some life into the game!) Just hoping next Saturday brings some salvation for us filthy casuals and noobz.

I feel exactly the same way. I tried one life and I died at the age of 12 trying to get food out of my backpack, it was too late.
I consider myself a casual player, not hardcore by any means. Another factor in the game is the so called "drama" and the social aspect, which is essential to the feel of the game.  Nobody was talking. Everyone was just focused on staying alive at that point. There was a griefer who had just shot someone, I stabbed him multiple times but the game was so buggy it didn't register. He got off cooldown and ran away into the forest.
This is NOT the type of game I want to play. An eve start is hard enough, and now it's impossible for us casual players. New players have even less of a chance, just think about how many Chinese players have given up already with this update!
Ohol is my favorite game with 100+ hours. I love the game so much and as much as this pains me I don't want to play anymore. Having to eat every 10 seconds isn't fun, as is rushing around trying to do things as you'll be starving in mere seconds. I'm just really dissapointed. Sorry if this is dramatic lol

Personally, I just don't like knowing all the towns I contributed to and my family line getting wiped out because a lot of dudes stabbed some other dudes and managed to not get stabbed themselves for like a whole day irl. But I get why some people are for it, and I'm not reeing for it to be changed.
Ever since the loss of Anal town I've made a challenge for myself to name as many towns as possible. Welcome "I" town!

I wanted to name it Iron, since what I think was a pair of twins went crazy with horse carts and brought home dozens of piles of iron. I was too old and I only managed to get the I. There was a ton of murder (and I got stabbed myself) so not sure how long the line is gonna last...

Damn!! I'm really mad I didn't get screenshots now. Anal town, lost to time...

I do! I was the first Luna to arrive in Anal Town. At first I thought my home village was great. There were people arriving back to the village with carts full of iron, and the berry bushes were all ripe. As I became a toddler, I found an empty sheep pen with no poop in sight. The soil piles were running out, and everyone was using the soil on maintaining the too-large berry farm. Before my eyes, I saw everyone of all ages munching away at the berries. I looked on in horror at the hordes of screaming babies being born, and the mothers caring for them without realizing their impending doom. I knew I had to escape! Hastily, I grabbed a basket and plucked the last berry from the whole field. I knew the bell would be my savior!
My trials walking 3.3 k to the village were long and hard. I hastily dodged through swarms of mosquitoes and packs of roaming wolves. As I got closer to the bell, I tried raising a few kids, hoping they would accompany me to the village. Alas, they all starved. As I was walking with my final son a grizzly bear came out of nowhere and ate him! But I had no time to stop and mourn. Released bears must mean the village is close!
I walked into the village, the people were very friendly but curious. They all asked me where I came from so I told my story. I warned them about the bears too. I became friends with the queen, and we were chillin' in the bakery together. Some had this last name I can't remember, but it definitely wasn't Count. (Another mystery perhaps?) The baker was worried about the village losing their name.
"Why so many nameless people?" he asked. I said it was probably because nameless mothers naming their kids. The queen agreed, and right at that moment I got too old. The queen had a baby soon after! She picked it up and said "We should let you name babies since you have a last name."
So that was my job! For the rest of my life, the queen and another mother would bring me their babies to name. The first girl I named was a bit peculiar though.
"When I close my eyes I see dead people." She smiled while dribbling a goose. As I got older I named my last few babies and chatted with the queen some more before passing on. It seems that the original family's name died out, but I'm proud that my name is still going!

Long Live Luna!

I'm a daytime player, simply because I need sleep at night lol. I agree things can escalate and get agressive pretty quickly. I mostly choose to stay quiet in my lives, I only talk if I need to say something important. I think the text limit and the lack of context (like sarcasm) makes people quick to assume the worst.
In one of my recent lives I was trying to teach my son compost, with another baby in my arms. I threshed the wheat in the farm area, and I agree it wasn't the best place to do so but I was teaching while juggling a baby. This man came up and started nitpicking "Don't thresh right in farm. Very stupid." Like if he thought it was so stupid he could have just grabbed a bowl and emptied it out elsewhere. He also started hounding on me for not being in a desert biome? Its not like I was in the middle of a tundra. Anyway I just chose to ignore him. If I argued I probably would have been dead.
In another recent life I was a guy, second generation to an eve. She was in a really good spot and we rushed iron tools since we had so many plentiful resources. After eve died there was two fertile females, every single female baby they had killed themselves. One woman had two pairs of twins, the moment the twin girls were born they began to run off. I managed to catch one and said "Please stay we need girls" she said "N" and promptly used that modded command to die instantly.
My stories aren't as bad as yours though! Were you in a big town for most of these? Most often people in big towns are murder-happy.

I watched in dismay as my son used bellows on a stack of steel ingots. Was he trying to cool them off???

I agree there's two sides to any coin. Instead of automatically assuming every noob is bad, I always try to take care of them and teach them unless I'm doing something really important. Once I protected a cousin from my mother who was telling the whole town that he was a greifer, even though he was just new. I taught him farming, all about sheep, and compost. By the end we were both old and he was very greatful, saying it was only his 5th life and nobody wanted to teach him anything, and how he didn't know the game was so complicated. It was super heartwarming!
But for every player willing to learn, there's 5 more that are the exact opposite. Once I tried to teach a girl how to farm, but she was just clicking the green bushes with a bucket even though I told her multiple times to use a bowl on it instead. She gave up and started running around, popping out babies and straight up ignoring them. "This is your kid" I would be chasing her around with her baby, and she said "how" and ignored me. So I ended up watching half her abandoned children along with my own. I couldn't kill her because the whole town would probably turn against me. So I definitely see how many bad experiences leaves you hating noobs. I just like to think "innocent until proven guilty" because I personally really like being a teacher.

For me, that gape mouth guy is always doing something productive, like baking or smithing. I have a tendancy to dislike that brown boy with the slickback styled hair, because in almost every town they're just there. Standing and staring among the berry fields, plucking the bushes clean.
This thread has really turned into something interesting!
