Heartwood Online +9

This is fun little grinder for the first few lvls, after 12ish it gets pretty grindy, but that’s to be expected with a project like this.
Recommendations to devs for future updates if not planned already:

Item sockets with gem drops from coals gem’s giving various stats boost when in item
(since you stop getting mining xp at lvl 12)

More items to craft with all the bars you have to grind

More items for more variety of lvl range items

Add skill bars to user hud option

More quests

Ability to build player houses
since if you high carp you have to saw a ton of boards

More skills to grind : cooking, fishing (which I know is coming) ,

The ability to earn the shop currency in game would also be a great addition

Overall a neat little mmo rpg project , I look forward to seeing where this goes.

The game is super fun, just need more attention and more updates and new areas I feel like it’s stuck in the same 3-4 places to lvl and explore. I’m pushing lvl 47 and I feel like what’s the point of lvling any more there are no more areas and no new enemies. Please update soon with new areas and new mobs. ===Update====
So the above review was from may of 2024 and now I’m writing for September 2024
Last month pointless update happened nothing new or changed besides some random event that had nothing to do with the anticipated update no new areas no new guys nothing new besides a bunch of changes to setting waste of time when they could’ve added a new areas or new monsters for level 50+ this game is stagnant. They’re not focusing on the big picture instead of wasting everyone’s time. And if you have a lack of funding, I have a few suggestions for you to create a new map or area that will peak a lot of peoples interest and then add new weapons or armor that you can buy from the shop not $100 mounts that none buys you need to generate yourself a good revenue to be able to invest in the game more. I’ve been waiting over a year for your update. when is the update going to happen? There’s no information there’s no updates letting anybody know anything ?!?

This is by far a 5 star game, absolutely amazing mmorpg in every way! Just a couple things to keep players engaged, I love the new pvp update, but there needs to be incentive when engaging with other players. For example on death a player should drop some form of loot, whether that’s coins, or resources that were not banked. Apart from dueling other players, there should also be areas where more rare resources are within a PvP location. With all that being said if loot drop is updated into the game, just make sure only the same lvl players can attack each other; unless In a guild fight then all levels between the guilds can attack each other. Again amazing game, I’m just hoping there is more incentive for player engagement with PvP. Everything else like trading, dueling, resource grinding, and pve has been very fun!
