To my sister Georgia,
This is peach. We were born around the same time and you wanted to farm together. A pie maker asked me to get rabbits so i spent my life doing that. After I brought my final cart of rabbits backs, the pie maker was gone. I made some more plates and cooked a cart full of pies. However, there was no one around. I finally stumbled upon two recently murdered bodies. My cousin, John, showed up and he had no idea what happened either. We were the last two in our village. I was old and never had any kids (I think due to an update). I hope you lived a good life and wasn't one of the murder victims.
Peach!
Unfortunately I wasn't one of the victims, I was one of the murderers. This fella showed up in town and stabbed one of the old men, so I ran and grabbed a bow, killing him on the spot. Sadly I had forgotten to eat before this and died of starvation while slowly running towards the farm lol. It would have been awesome to farm together, but so it goes. Hopefully we can some time soon!
The most advanced settlement I have seen since the update was a carrot farm that died out after two generations. Have you guys seen towns like before or are they all gone now?
The connection issue is definitely a problem as well, but I would suggest that it compounds the one posed by decay. For example, if you lost connection last week, it wouldn't (most likely) destroy the entire town you were in.
Hey there,
In game you develop the ability to communicate as you age. So when you're born, you can only communicate through one letter at a time, but by the time you're old you will be able to say a full sentence.
I fell in love with this game right away. OHOL is an astounding microcosm of real life, where your whole existence is short and difficult, but through serious effort you can build a better future for the next generation. I only came across two killers during my time playing, and almost everyone else was teaming up in a cohesive way that you rarely, if ever, see in a videogame. I loved living each life seeing how much of a positive impact I could make on the town I was in, and the surprisingly touching relationships I built with my mom and children were what made it all worth it.
This was all before the update. I understand this is a game that is still in development, and there will be amazing updates, as well as ones that are not so great... But this has almost been completely game breaking. All the towns are gone, all cohesion between mothers and their children are gone, there is no chance of building for the future since it all decays without repair, so what are we playing for....? I was sold this game on the promise of a chance to build up a civilization through days of hard work and countless generations, but the game has been reduced to a never ending Eve cycle.
Decay isn't a bad idea, but this implementation has not been effective. A quick look through the forums will show that there is an overwhelming rejection of this update, so why has it not been rolled back? Why is Jason radio silent? I understand that he does not work on the weekends, but this is literally destroying his creation. All I suggest is that the decay update is rolled back for the time being until it can be tested and implemented in a way that wont completely destroy all current attempts at civilization, like this one has.
