Explain ?
To be an OG is to have been a part of the origin of something or be the first to do something. Or at the very least be original or a gangster.
None of which apply
Real ohol OG
Definitely not lol
Tech evaluated leadership was suggested as soon as leadership was introduced. But that likely was too much work and too much server lag to make it viable, while a one stat leadership system was easy to introduce.
Still trash and the genescore/eve system still promotes the wrong attributes in a strong player. Having and raising babies is not the most important thing. Stabilizing society through tech and food production is, sometimes that means not wasting time on raising kids when society is collapsing.
Sacrificing personal benefit for the needs of society is the true meaning of being a leader and those are the veteran players with the worst gene score. The people who should be eves. The people who's potential should shine.
This was brought up years ago when these systems were introduced. Dont wage your bets on anything happening. The last time this game got any real development was years ago.
Private servers are possible. There are also low population servers in the vanilla game you can join by changing the server you log into. If you die at 60 as an eve on a low pop server you will respawn as eve in the same place you died.
You could also join a fan made server like openlife reborn. Heres a link to their discord:
Thanks for keeping this thread alive. I still do hold hope jason comes back with a fresh mindset to hopefully organize this pile we have been shuffling through.
The street has limits and must follow discord's community guidelines. People have infact done some messed up shit in the street and were banned, as well as the server getting threatened to be shut down by discord. Not sure if you violated the guidelines but in general its up to the mod's discreation to lay down the law. If you think it was unjust, email jason. Though I dont think posting other's photos without their consent is good practice. Jason is a public figure and his images are everywhere on the internet so people posting pictures arent worth much more than a google search someone could do. The difference is, i doubt Jason cares what people do with his image. Slinky clearly did, best to respect those feelings.
Have you ever had a dream that
That you um, you had, you'll t—, you would
You could, you do, you would you want you
You could do some, you...
You'll do, you could you,youwant,you want himto do youso much
You could do anything?
The game has been updated once in the last two years so nothing has really changed since then.
Could always email him and ask how he's doing
Race mechanics were probably the worst thing to be introduced into the game. They look bad and reflect poorly on the game. There is nothing wrong with having everyone be equal and race just being a cosmetic element.
Not sure how having races being machanically different benefits the game. It certainly hasnt with the base game. Its only raised a lot eyebrows surrounding jason's views on race. It didnt used to matter and any mom could give birth to any race of baby. Those were better time.
Simply saying "no race restrictions/mechanics" would attract a lot of people to this project. Keeping those mechanics or a shadow of them would likely do the opposite.
Generally I would avoid races being anything more than a character trait. Having race become a focus was the death of ohol and left a sour taste in the mouth of most community members. I would highly suggest avoding that.
If you want some type of class structure where there are benefits or deficits to different classes, I suggest making that a choice at the beginning of each life. Or something that can be chosen or changed by interacting with a specific object or waystone. Not something grounded in the color of people's skin.
I suggest a neutral class that everyone is born with. No major bonuses and no major deficits. Then certain classes that can be chosen later in life depending on playstyle. It would be beneficial to have the option to change classes through life to allow people to experiment and explore different playstyles they like or dont like.
These are just suggestions. Simply, it will be easier to just keep everything neutral. But if you wish to have a level of diversity I suggest focusing it in a direction similar to this rather than the way jason has gone about it. I know it would be a lot of work, but if you're married to the idea of class mechanics. This, in my opinion, is the most palatable way to go about it.
Great work on everything and I'm so proud of the OpenLife team bringing this project to life. You've put in so much work Arcurus and this is awesome to see!
If their grammar was intended. Were they regarding it as "my clueless" emphasising my ownership of said clueless? Or were they refering to themself as my clueless in a similar way one might when refering to themself as "your friend"?
Either way, i find it ammusing that he mocks me regarding my lack of intelligence when he doesnt even understand the use of your and you're.

Lots of salt in the air. But to be honest. Wood didnt do shit and you immediately called him an alt and attacked him over nothing.
Chill, take the L, and move on.

LOL that explains alot about Wood, AKA LonelyNeptune
So you want people to be asshats so they can get killed?
I would suggest not being dumb, or an asshole.
I doubt that was all that went down, your not telling the whole story, and I am gonna say you deserved to be killed based on your forum interactions.
Eat a shit
Based on your forum interactions, You'd kill and curse me for burning a rabbit.
Seems like a chill response.
Eve Troll, your clueless.

I presume they means the content is clunky and over-saturated. To the point of reducing the challenge and cut throat nature of the original game. You wont find many people ready to stab you over trivial things in 2hol. Let alone a large enough community of centralized players to enable interesting interactions. The chaos and difficulty scale is what attracted me to ohol and what I presume others as well. In my experience 2hol is more of a creative mode. More content with less stakes involved.
The gifs take me back.
Miss this era of the game.
So families can only learn other family's languages if they live with the family for several generations.
Families of different races cant produces offspring in the same town. So it's next to impossible for one family to learn another language.
This forced segregation isolates families. Despite the necessity of sharing resources we have no real ability to negotiate those trades.
If race restrictions will not be removed and we're still not allowed to have multifamily towns at least consider removing the language barrier so families can communicate and work together effectively.
I mean they said they run into them every 20 lives or so. Running into a biggot every 20 hours in game isnt that big of a deal. The curse system doesnt really work and is heavily abused. Giving people more tokens will just result in more curses. Curses that will be given for petty things since the tokens will be cheap and you wont have to worry about saving them for people who truly deserve it.
Naming a baby something troll has nothing to do with your intentions or how you play.
Keep your prejudices to yourself and dont slander my people.
Wells are tied to families. So if the family dies out the well will reset after 30 minutes like you are experiencing. There are some stages in deep well where it wont reset but it sometimes will. On the bright side you can get unlimited early stage water with only the cost of a round stone. I suggest making cisterns and collecting the water each time before the reset. When you reach newcommen or engine stage with the well it does not reset.
There may be a way to adjust the time in which it takes for the well to decay to the stone pile. In a way this can be annoying but it can also be a blessing with the amount of early stage water you can collect over and over.
Another tip, decay transitions only happen when the area is rendered. So say for example you died and you had a fire going, it would only transition to the next stage once the area is rendered. If its a small fire it would turn to hot coals, big fire would turn into a small fire next time you render the area. This can be useful for a variety of things that use timed transitions. Like roses for example. A rose seed would turn from pink to red the next time you logged in if its been more than an hour. Same for red to white. Additionally, you can cull regions by not rendering them for an extended period of time and they will reset back to their native state. This can be used to reset oil, iron, and other resources.
Naming was always goofy. I miss when everything was roman numeral bound. No matter how many times you named someone it would just stack roman numerals on top. The funny thing was, it would carry across multiple bloodlines. Eves could be named the same thing multiple times with roman numeral stacks as well. Goofy shit. People used to get so pissed as me because i would always name myself eve troll and name my kids "epic". Got over 100 numeral stacks with that name.
Shortly after jason removed the roman numeral system...
Been bored ever since. I miss naming other eves before they could name themselves.
This was also back when you would get eve runs 1/5 lives. No matter what your gene score was, not sure it was even a thing back then. The good ol days.
Honestly, I didn't do the same thing over and over. I got sick of it quickly and it would get frustrated seeing so much effort go to waste. Or as least have little impact beyond prolonging others life for a couple hours. So maybe im not a good example of how to cope with monotony.
That said, how I coped with boredom with the game was typically to do niche or uncommon things that made a long impact on the game and its community. I would look at what lasted the longest and what could be seen and valuable beyond a few hour.
My go to was always clothing. Specifically dyed clothing. One of my biggest accomplishments with the game was making close to 80 full sets of dyed clothes with dyed roses for each hat. Every set had a different scheme for each family. Then they were mass dumped on every family. They lasted for a week or two, i forget.
But honestly its almost impossible to combat boredom in this game when things get repetitive. My suggestion is finding something fun or that you enjoy doing and going over the top with it. Take breaks. Pop in to make a big impact and never take things too seriously. Otherwise its just a recipe for burn out and heart break.
What if someone collected a bunch of murdock from far away, caught a bunch of rabbits, then decided to only burn half of them.
Would they still be a jerk?
Im sensing a dynamic feud that could even rival that of dodge and spoon.
Keep up the good work.
Burnt rabbit should be edible ngl. It might not be good but its still edible. If you were starving you'd no doubt chomp on some burnt food. Even if it was only one pip. Otherwise its just a noob trap for no good reason.
