Kudos to fWhip and Grian for planing this for four months and keeping it under the radar for so long. That’s dedication if I’ve ever seen it

[@mickenoss]

Kinda hoping they merge servers at some point, Hermit Empires or something. Would be awesome.

[@crow__bar]

@@mickenoss nah, Hermitract and Empires just have 2 very different types of play going on. A couple episode cross over is okay, but doing a merge of this sort would just ruin the fun of each SMP in the long term.

[@LunizIsGlacey]

@@crow__bar Yeah, that's true. Quite a few of the hermits aren't super into the 'mysterious overarching lore/roleplay' thing, and not all viewers are into heavily modded/gameplay datapacks either. Would be best if this is kept to a crossover than a merge.

[@conanedogawa4798]

As an exclusive Hermitcraft viewer, I would like to thank you for the name-drop on the person who built the Empires-side rift. Now I know who's videos to catch up with on the Empires side in order to get the Empires perspective on the whole rift lore.

Obviously it doesn't go unnoticed that Sloy makes the script and video-editing on the regular and Lyarrah is the reason why I always turn subtitles on... But the fact that Pixl is writing, narrating, and canon on Hermitcraft... AND will be for the next couple of weeks... Just amazes me so much.

If people are unsure about what is going on with the various people on Empires there is a Empires recap channel like this one, there a bit smaller but with so many more in depth storylines it can be quite helpful giving you the rundown on what's going on.

For those who don't know, Empires SMP does have it's own recap, so that can help people catch up on what's going on. But of course, it will be fun to see the Hermit's perspective on the server itself. I'm also excited to see what sort of shenanigans will come from it!

I think given that the hermits were confused by the concept of bartering with those who aren't piglins, a "What is Empires" special might be helpful.

If i was a hermit i would be confused about the bartering system too imagine being used to just buying and getting out the shop and next day you got to barter for stuff

Pix, you were the first Minecraft KZbinr I ever watched, because I had started playing MC around the time you started the first Season of the Survival Guide. I think you were on like, episode 4 or something crazy! And because of your mentions in that series, I then found Impulse and Skizzleman's Naked and Scared. Through Impulse, I then found all the other Hermits, then 3rd life, and from 3rd life, to Empires. The fact that it's all come full circle and the Hermit who went to prank you was the first Hermit I ever watched BECAUSE of you, was just so perfect. I know Grian and fWhip had been planning the crossover for over 4 months, but it's been something I've looked forward to for 4 YEARS. As I mentioned on Sausage's video, I don't know if you guys realize the amount of joy you've brought to everyone with this silly crossover. Cheers to all of you for making this happen!

Loving the crossover idea. The one thing I can note, it seems like there different approaches on how the Hermits are handling the "Lore" on Empires.
