Title is a question.

A couple of answers:

1. You cant
2. Pray for more players joining in dead hours
3. Make bots who's sole purpose is to keep the lineage going

Jason always blamed the players for lineages dying "You can make lineages go on forever, it's up to you" but the reality is that survivability of lineages depend on player population and depending on timezones there will be less players which will make lineages die without you having done anything wrong.

Bad design in other words...

In real life it works the opposite way, 2 "players" can multiply but in ohol you need a player to log in to create a character in game, Jason didn't take that into account so the game is rigged basically.

Jason changing the game is unlikely so your best bet is to program some bots that can do basic stuff like eating food, staying warm, taking care of kids etc, or uninstall game that's a pretty good one too...

I thought he did. I thought the idea was that players would want to keep their lineages going and thus beg other people to play. He said something once about how he thought people on discord would be begging others to keep lineages going. And thus Jason could get more people playing for longer and maybe sell more copies.

But yeah, that's greedy. And it doesn't work. Bad design as you put it, and the inevitable low pop hours. Bots are the answer.
