Have you tried logging into a more populated server?

CrazyEddie, ok, that is more in depth than I originally took your post for. I concur that the game may be inclined towards a different play style than how I play OHOL. But it is doable.

After all, I do still raise children. I have raised Spoon, Lory (another frequent server player), Deg, Jack (whom made clear that was not IRL name...lol), twins (that were trying to get back to their base), a korean player, along with the other Eves. So I don't think my game play is too askew from the game maker's, Jason's, intent.
I also tell these players to branch out, but not too far from the base. The third Eve did just that! Originally, it was just myself and my friend. A road was built to connect us. I found out that we have another addition via that eve. So, we are growing. Just not at a stupidly uncontrollable rate.

You also make a point on setting up a private server. Also, doable. /if (set up a private server) .then/(strict limitation of player interaction), ..
I still want to be able to interact with new players... but not on the scale of a heavily populated server....
anyways, to even be able to get a private server going I would have to educate myself on "how to," which is probably very simple.

Good news, everyone!

The "Kingdom" lives! Though all three Eves were sadly "lost". Again, How we usually keep our town is by Eve chaining, and then taking turns raising each other. This way we still get to experience lineage, and catch up with each other! (I think I will propose a game to see which of us can keep have the longest Linage Line; although, I don't know what the consultation prize will be, ideas??)

CrazyEddie, I agree that people should NOT get emotionally invested with the pixels they spend so much time with; however, I am glad that some people do. Otherwise, we would potentially not even have games to play..None the less, I appreciate you comforting me during my panic.

MultiLife, I am thankful that the update did not cause any loss. Have there been updates, previously, that wiped servers without prior warning?

Jojigirl, wow! It is so strange seeing Hearts' Kingdom through another's perspective. I did get the Kingdom to that point with assistance from the other Eves and random "pop ins" (/queue the baby arrival sound without the crying).There's going to be an exclusive event in the future held at the Kingdom. I will send you an invite when it is time. Hope to see you there.

Rage, ...has there ever been a better handle for you? LOL I can almost feel the anger; though, it could be mine own reacting to yours. Anyways, I too have put much time into this game, but I do not feel that it is not worth the money. I kind of view games like this, that cost a bit, as more of an investment.  I also think that focus is put on, let's say, "different" areas that are a little less concerning, if at all, than the areas where many people are voicing their views. Perhaps, these areas that are a more majority concern take more time to deal with? Maybe Jason wants to continue a flow of creativity while it is fresh in mind?
I hope you keep finding aspects of the game to amuse yourself... make the game fit you!

fragilityh14, the game is certainly playable. Though in larger civs I have seen that parents are naked while the children are clothed (I think I just quoted someone else's post in a different topic thread..). Do you think this is Jason's way to get people to make clothes, ergo play the game as intended? Perhaps, he is trying to teach us different ways to build up communities by forcing players to migrate and us what is available?

Spoonwood!! I was not sure if the person that graced the "kingdom" was the same as the one here on the forums. Glad to have confirmation. I do get the insta death to get back to projects in game. It does not bother me, due to constantly having objectives. Though it is always scary when a player joins that I have not previously raised...  Come see me again .hugs.

Peremptive, I agree that communication is a bit hard. That's why I tend to use out of game communications, and play with few people. I don't know how many times I used the perfect temp spots to keep my character alive while I was afk.. RIP, they will be missed. What if a shout command were implemented? like, "/shout[character'sname]: message?" so that messages would reach recipients no matter where they are, and if they were dead a bounce back message would occur?  idk.. that's probably asking too much..

gnach, nooooo! The Snowman Ranch is likely still out there.

I am fortunate enough to have a tight knit community on the server, with out of game communications, to allow for fail safes.

Thank you all for responding and venting.
May you all live to see "Cause Of Death: Old Age"

Someone else mentioned ponchos.

Id like to make different rugs by means of dyed cloth bolts. Then using shears to get fabric strips and by adding them in certain orders would produce different colored patterns.

Although, I don'k know which previously mentioned idea would be best. Stenciling or cutting it like rabbit fur for different sizes.
But I'm inclined to agree with the latter.

Desert apparel?

I want to see rugs!

...technically we are behind pace with the game Jason is playing, imo.
I fully intent on creating each of the crafts that has been put into the game, even apocalypse (when the right server is willing).

Maybe you, Crumpaloo, are trying to keep up with the updates when you should focus on enjoying the game as is. Then look at the tech updates as... a challenge to get to in the future? Like, there's no rush.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that more advanced cities will be prone to keeping up with the updates. But why does that mean the rest of the community isn't having fun with the older tech?

IRL look at our lives versus Amish. . . do you think their minds would be flabbergasted by some of the toys we used to play with? It is basically the same for people that have yet to discover these 'useless' techs

Anyways, I hope you relax and live to old age.

Looking for willing sacrifices to refresh server seven. . .
