My friend just showed me LiF last week. Well actually he showed me like 6 months back. But he just told me about Early Access on Steam last week. We are dying to give this a try. Obvious it'll take sometime for them to work everything in. But can't wait to get a feel for the game.
If someone puts up a dedicated server, we are not against joining. If no one does, we are not against putting up a dedicated server of our own for folks to join. It's all according to if my buddies 2nd computer allows the dedicated server to run smoothly.
Also, AntiBlitz... I'm going to have to check out Haven & Hearth.
if by any means you want to play, its rather "hardcore" in that it tells you nothing, permadeath is a thing, yes once your character dies, its dead forever, and its a isometric view. If you can deal with that, then you will have a very long enjoyable experience. Ill even show you and your friends the ropes, i and a few others were thinking about starting up once again. Giving it another go, after my last death was rather eventful.
If you care, my death is as follows:
Was out cruising the rivers in my boat, its what i normally do, looking for something to shoot at with my sling. Found some random crap, and decided to bring it back home. Now normally i am all about security, we had walls up, a gate, claimed land, the whole works. But for some reason, i decided that id forgo the locking of the gate, and decided to leave it open, for a real quick trip. Upon my arrival back home, i put my boat on land, and begin making my way in to the fort.
A mysterious man walks out, in all purple, with a weird facewrap thing on his head, over his shoulder looks like a big sack. He stops, looks at me, and vice versa. I only had time to say "look thief, drop the goods, and we will call this even, and not speak of it", before he ran over and sucker punched me. I began to fight back, i think more the he expected and he starts trying to make a hasty exit. In all the commotion my neighbor stops by mid way through the fight and tries to help. My partner who was also playing is unfortunately too far away from home to help. We eventually chase off the would be thief and i secure the front gate. I settle back down inside of my cabin and write a thread on the forums about the robber and ask for help from any rangers(kind of like the games form of law enforcement). I complete the thread, and while sitting at my table eating blueberry pies, 4 men enter my cabin, i literally have no time to react before one comes and strikes me unconscious. The two others begin looting and pilfering my cabin while the other two men beat me to death while i lay a strewn on the floor.
It was horrible, i worked on that character for about a solid month, and was brutally murdered by thugs while eating pie at my dinner table. Needless to say my partner who is in TS with me hears my yelling and is on his way back, too late of course. While passing by the neighbors house, he finds his body laying just outside his gate, he was also slain by the thugs, i guess to try and cover their tracks. My partner, ends up tracking down their village and we post it on the forums for the rangers to take care of it.
