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?
