I've just tried this out, but the server seems to be offline. Might it make sense to have a Docking Station server status page here on the wiki?--Eloquence 21:00, 8 Jan 2005 (PST)

The server is online for me - possibly a problem with your game? -Liam 21:52, 8 Jan 2005 (PST)


Hmm... Does this have any adware, spyware, or anything of that sort? What's the catch? – Jello2 21:02, 27 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Nope, no adware/spyware/etc, although it does require you to connect to the server when you create a new world (you can find ways around this elsewhere on the wiki) and they keep track of your world names and warped norns server-side.. If you get addicted you're more likely to buy the other Creatures games, additional breeds and the such :-) --Fuzzie 22:01, 27 Feb 2005 (GMT)

The catch is you get a bright orange Magma Norn popping up every so often asking if you want to buy Creatures 3 or more norn breeds. Those were more innocent times! --GreenReaper(talk) 22:01, 27 Feb 2005 (GMT)
That can be disabled also, though. Sgeo(talk) 22:34, 27 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Latest build

What is the latest DS build? Mine says 195 and won't update, since it can't connect to the server. --Andrettin 23:23, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Docking Station version 195 is the latest version and, because the game hasn't been updated in years, the Update Server is no longer online - Don 23:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Is there a way to update DS B189 to 195? or do i have to load the whole complex? what are the main differences? -- Ben

What about the gameserver heart.creatures.net? It seems down for over a year now, or am i mistaken?

It's been a very long time since I played this. Decided to give it a go for fun, pretty sure I downloaded the Windows version since the file is an executable, however on install it complains about bzip2. I tried looking around for something related to bzip2 and it seems to be an archiver for Linux/Unix. Who the heck archives a file for a system other than the one it's intended to work on? Also I recall having bought all of the official creatures but I have no idea if I have any old backups of them no more, used to keep them on a webserver since I remember if you didn't keep your own copies then you had to buy them again, but much has changed over time and I don't think I have them no more. I only had all the official norn species, didn't cash out on the ettin or grendle ones. Is there any way I can reclaim them? I don't even know my old username or password but I got a hunch of the first part before the dash. --81.187.6.173 13:15, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
