Ty Melea, i hadn't thought about adding it as a new game.  That'll do ^^

yes!  A much needed change... last night i was able to turn a sledge into a slotbox for the kitchen without having to waste a tool slot on the adze.  There are so many times where i just need to use a tool once situationally but never would have done it before cause the wasted slot!

I dunno about the whole parents playing with their kids thing... not until jason adds a nudity filter (which he wont).  Parents tend to get squeamish about nudity in games and wouldn't let their kids play it.

Also, DF and Minecraft were designed for single player with multiplayer added later... they're fundamentally different from OHOL.   Actually does DF even have multiplayer officially?  That's a mod, right?

It's like a mini game... how many different ways can spoonwood whine about his/her daddy issues?

Wow, just be thankful you don't have my ISP!

Jason, from your post it seems you think we are asking for a single player variant.. we aren't.  We are simply asking you to stop using "it would just be single player if these restrictions weren't here" as an excuse to further try and pigeonhole us all into a singular play style that you believe we will find fun.  You claim to want a blue ocean game, yet continually add restrictions that contradict that.  "Here's the ocean guys!  Oh.. but you can only play in the great barrier reef.  If you want to visit the bermuda triangle, you have to be black."

Also, you think that by removing restrictions, people will just suddenly stop talking to each-other?  Was this a single player game before those restrictions came out?  Just because some of the more experienced players may turn into hermits, you punish the rest of us?

Look..  If i have a big project, i'll ask for help for it.  If i don't know a thing, I'll ask someone how.  Removing restrictions will not remove the social aspect of the game... you will still be born as a helpless baby.  You will still meet interesting people.  You will still cultivate in-game friendships and relationships that are memorable.  Just because someone has the option to play as a hermit, doesn't mean that everyone will.  The universe will not implode if some people choose to work alone.

As far as I can tell, removing racial barriers can only be a good thing.  People can build more towns, rather than being stuck in the same rotation of 2-3 towns that managed to survive the first day.  People who enjoy the Eve phase of a town over the "maintaining the bell town" phase will actually be able to enjoy the game again (people like me).   

Yes, sometimes I like to be born in a bell town so i can roleplay or dink around and do whatever i want..  but it gets stale fast when that's my only option.

So if we all submit racial restrictions as a bug.. then maybe it will get fixed?

I feel like jason is falling into the same trap that most game devs do.. attempting to balance the game around the elite few rather than the masses.  OHOL doesnt need a food nerf, it needs some other way to keep the no-lifers and full time players busy... all this kind of garbage does is chase out the normal and new players.

Not everyone hates twins, even before the patch.  I twinned with my friend when we first got the game and only got abandoned once.

This.  3 year olds take a lot of food watching.  I played a lot on my private server to learn the game and still died a lot coming to official because I was used to the eve food bars.

If you wanted people to trade, then why did you make it so we can't talk to anyone outside our family?

Does this actually work?  Cause I mean.. if I can raise my tool slots without having to endure the annoying 6 tool cap... hell yea I would love to join the AFK crowd.
