Mostly because people want to be born into big towns.

I never suicide because I find it offensive, but this is what I've heard.

I too guess that's the most frequent reason.  It pisses me off when two girls suicide in a row.  That may be death sentence for Eve.

I suicide sometimes when I spawn like 6th time in a row as Eve/Eve's kids, but I try to do it only as a boy.

It only makes it more funny when it is a server wipe so there are no big towns yet big_smile

True that. Or when they've been to all the huge towns, suicide in a small community, and are forced to be an Eve for three hours thereafter.

Re: Why suicide.....?

Towns are really something, if we had more cities we would have more players playing the game, sadly small settlements are always the same so it gets pretty annoying rebuilding everything, I sometimes help these places but i don't get as much pleasure as when I work on different jobs in cities.

I love nomads but they are almost non existant

Re: Why suicide.....?

The soil changes are a little weird still to me. It seems like you spend a LOT more time dragging around soil basket by basket.

Ponds are still broken last I checked, scooping and dumping the same water over and over again will fill it to
overflowing in less than a minute and the flooding will die down by the time you need another scoop.

I have only made a single pen so far but I have crafted tools. Have not caught muflon since corn update.

I was suiciding myself multiple times. Usually, because I wanted to play a certain role, like shepherd or smith. Because we have no spawn options, I had to waste my time, my Eve mothers and all my kids, when I became female smith. And we are doomed to wasting time, because of involuntary budding.

yeah
wouldn't i be preoccupied with my main problem of the helplessness of a victim
then i could pine for lots of needed changes to the way a player spawns

but i suppose Jason is against any intentional spawning mechanism & prefers to throw players randomly into whatever situation, which makes for exchangeable lives, exchangeable persons,
i can deal with that but if i wanted to actually build something in OHOL, like a family, a town, a lineage, which would mean something to me, then randomness is surely not the road to satisfaction & long-term motivation

Re: Why suicide.....?

Everytime I am solo baby I try to die some way other than starvation.

Usually I score a snake, sometimes wolf or a lucky bear. I also kill myself if I am Male and totally lost
or if there are no more babies etc. It is way to depressing to wait to die, besides just surviving off the
land isn't really hard once you are an adult.

Re: Why suicide.....?

If baby suicide is a problem for you, you might be doing something wrong.
One problem could be you are an eve still wondering the wilds, if a child grows before you find a good spot the child just slows you down and chops at the food. Find your location before children.
Another problem i see is Eves not giving surnames or stupid surnames. You are setting the stage for a lineage, do it right.
Talk to your children let them know what you are thinking.
Ask them how skilled they are from one to ten. It's really useful to know.
Overall you should make it as inviting as possible. Tour them around show them the good locations and introduce them to their siblings. Have a fire ready or put them on the desert. Furnace in place, have food nearby and maybe a basket with sharp stone for them to take.

I suppose it might be easier to build a farm near a bunch of soil pits, then run for the water. Water is easier to transports if you get to buckets.

The soil changes make many people give up carrot farming, calling it a waste.

Re: Why suicide.....?

I think berries are best again. At least until post sheep.

No soil to regrow, even without bugged out ponds you still getting good output with small item size so it is less wasteful for lil ones smile.
