Hey everyone.

I just recently decided to come back to Feral Heart after being away since 2016. Like many people, I lost interest in the game when it was overhauled. The removal of the iconic maps, music, the login screen and the changes in some of the markings was enough to push me away from the game. Well, I was just about to start college and none of my friends played it anymore, so that was another contributing factor as well... which is rather unfortunate, because FH was a major part of my life as I almost played it non-stop over the course of five years.

I understand that there are other servers for FH and a multitude of IT servers out there, and I've spent the last few days trying them out. They're all pretty dead. It's hard to believe this game had an average of 500 to 900 users a day, and now it barely reaches 50. I don't even see where the 30-50 are, as most of the maps look pretty inactive...

I was hoping there was a way to make the current oFH look more like the old one? The UI, add the older maps, the older map and revert the markings' textures back to how they were (especially the Tiger 1 and Tiger 2 markings, they look really bad now in comparison). I get this is all nostalgia-driven, but it really breaks my heart to see the game like this. I did check an older thread in regards to the original FH maps, but they stopped working.

I would really appreciate if someone could lend a hand here.

Yes, yes you can actually. I have a working old map link which I could send. Old textures should be floating around on the forums, if not I'll see what I could help with!

Hey there!

I understand where you're coming from, lots of players miss this old game. The players are generally in The Grounds while the others are spewed throughout the other maps or private maps - you can find them if you go into every map and F3 - but we are here to give you the old maps, textures, and music.

Here is a link that could possibly have the original tiger markings: https://www.deviantart.com/shay-wolf/art/Aug-22-Mass-Markings-for-FH-1-15-614612248

As for the music, these two links might be able to help you out: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7x288vscx1pwntv/OldFHmusic.zip/file

Let me know if there are anymore OG FH files you'd like!

Also, I'll move this over to the help thread since it belongs a bit better over there c:

You can try Feral Heart Unleashed. It has lots of old-school Feral Heart elements, I hear. It's not quite as active as Feral Heart, but it's one of the most active non-FH IT-based private servers next to maybe Glasmar.
