server merge

[VivianHansen_dk]

The only good thing about the merge from danish to UK server is :
no need to pay for extra science study - my gate is closed most of the time
no need to pay for explores running faster for only 6 hours a day
no need to pay for xp to hero because there is nothing to attack for a little level5* player ( the devs. did a good job by sending us to domains with old strong players on UK server = canon feed)
no need to pay for merchants to run a little faster - there is only small resources to bring
no need to pay for magical things to find in ruins because my 35 explores only have 6 hours a day and only find maybe 1 ruin5* or 6* in 6 hours and most of the time the ruin is gone before I get it
no need to have premium any more because most of my friends from danish server do not play any more and I spend less time in game

I did love this game very much but now I am bored, all I do is temple strong original UK players who has an army 10 time as big as my army and then just wait to see if my explores find a ruin5 or 6* - so when my gold is gone I think my game is over.

I wish all the original strong level5* players on UK server a nice meal from the great buffet table with meat from the whole world

This is a strategy game, you can find your way to survive with a small army, well, deposit of some BGs could help too only if you can spend them wisely.
Cheer up, mate.
I spend thousands of BGs every month, and I can still get more out of game if I can help myself not to buy artifacts...

Look at 47-10, the temple is't bottomless

players from the server to the UK too strong and aggressive, they attack all the more weak. Why can sever was merged into 1 to 2 years with 1 server after 2 years. It was like one prey to the players in the UK server.

[KAM1KAZA1]

probably you hit the essence with this sentence..

[ZenZephyr]

Well for me all the above is rubbish. As a small level 5 player when i played the game i was surrounded by players way bigger than me, who had played the game already 2-3 years. I used intelligent tactics and forged partnerships and 'actually spent some money on the game' and eventually became very strong in a very strong clan.

Also the greater the challenge the greater the chance to be a hero, so be a hero not a zero!

[VincZ]

Well said Zen, I had the same when I started and now I am one of those big aggressive "native" uk players.
I didn't spend money on my account to achieve that so it was and still is possible, even without spending on the game.

You forgot:
no need to speed up unit training, because there are not enough ruins to sustain a big army and no chance to catch up to 4 year old armies.
no need to spend BG for tournaments because big players will just steal your flags/lake.
no need to buy artifacts because you can not catch up to UK/Turkish players without spending thousands of $.

Take a look at the auction-house/ruins BG count is already dropping.

@ZenZephyr, VincZ
I did the same on the Swedish server, but you forget that the merge made it a lot worse.
It threw small and medium players next to big ones and there is no room to move away from them.
Because all servers where merged to the UK, the big UK players still have their territory. and of course they defend it against this new intruders.
Ruins are scarce now(see other topic) peaceful players might be forced to attack smaller suzerains to sustain their troops.
->So there is a lot more aggression then in your time
It is forbidden to trade armies now(!), so small players have no chance to get fast xp for their heroes or free premium to use explorers.

[VincZ]

Ruins are not scarce, they spawn with a great rate but you have to be fast to use this as they are taken faster than ever.
And you didn't read very well as zen said when both of us started the server was at it's previous peak, we were surrounded by big and powerful suzerains and we got through, much worse is absolutely not the case, a bit but only a bit, it still is possible to build an account here but it is to you to solve the puzzle on how to do it.

[BobHuman_se]

Ruins are not scarce, they spawn with a great rate but you have to be fast to use this as they are taken faster than ever.

What do you call it then, when ruins are killed as soon as they spawn and people have to race each other to get some? Abundant? plentiful?
I´m very active and I guess so are you, but suzerains who log in only a few times per day will rarely get any.

How many active players where on the server when you started?
When did you start?

So far there are 1698 people(36% of the active players!) that do not share your opinion, more to come.

And as I predicted the BGs are getting rarer, only 3 offers with 100 on the market right now.
Is the grail even active any more?

It is nice that the hardcore players still can make it.
But 1/3 of the players lost should show you that the rest can not.

Just read the thread title "no need to spend black pearls" and that's what it is.

[VincZ]

That you are to slow getting there, you have to take them faster.

I really do not remember how much but I'm around 2 years and 8 months here atm.

So far there are a lot of impatient people and people that were only here to farm BG that quit, the whiners, the incompetent and the greedy, not much lost there.

Only 3, well you know when to go look as there are 8 over 100 BG auctions atm.
Also 3 more days on the grail.

The 1/3 of players lost shows me a lot of people are not able nor willing to adapt to new circumstances so they resort to whining, cursing, threatening and then quit.
If you really like this game you would not do that.
So all we lost were the players that didn't love the game enough to stay or that were not competent enough to adapt to the new (circumstances on the) server.

[BobHuman_se]

Well maybe I´m wrong, which would be very nice.
But as you should know there was an arch ruin kill recently.
Most likely those players spent some of their 70.000 black gems and put them back in the system that way.


In the meantime we have lost almost 60% of the players.
It is because I love the game that I´m posting here.
With so many people leaving something is clearly wrong here and maybe, just maybe, by posting here someone from the Developers get aware of this and changes something.

If you want to call people impatient who do not want to build their army for one year(most likely more), before they can even think of competing with the old players that is your opinion.

[VincZ]

How long do you think it took us "old" players to get that big and strong?
Do you really think that new players should have to do less to get as strong as that?
Also do not forget they already made it a lot easier by allowing lvl 2 players a hero, that used to be restricted to suzerains.
I grew my army in the time you needed to be lvl 5 and another later on another server, I can tell you from personal experience, the game is now way easier and faster than it used to be thanks to that change.

What is wrong is that the BG were taken out of the (arch)ruins and lakes to load up the grail.
Make the grails appearance as rare as the lvl 7 ruin and a lot of players will return.

?? What is the right?
