My Lands: Black Gem Hunting

Hi admins, I doubt that this will be considered, but I will try it anyway. Since you've merged thousands of new players and since you don't really care about multi accounts, give us at least more chance to get some kind of a counter play. Older UK players and players that have merged one year ago simply didn't have the same chance to gather arts as players that came 2 months ago. Some of the new players have 3 or 4 royal arts, while even some of the best players from UK server have none. Look at the old UK accounts held by the best players here compared to accounts of small servers, the disbalance is obvious. I mean what odds does a completely new player have on this server? Almost none, especially if he can't invest 1000$ at least. You'll probably merge new servers next year too. It's not fair game at all, even if you deal with multi boxing (which you won't do anyway). I have several ideas, if you care to read:

1. Put a bigger chance to find an art on a ruin
2. You can put arts on stonehenges (the bigger stone and more supports give bigger chance to find an magic item). You can even make us choose whether we want random art of a certain level or rune...
3. Give more awarding places on tourneys. The best places can even get the chance to choose which art do they want.
4. You already have actions where certain amount of bg's gives you random art. Why not to give us a chance to buy random art for bg's too? 100 bg's random art 1, 500 bg's random art 2, 1000 bg's random art 3, 1500 bg's random art 4, 5000 bg's random art 5, 20k bg's random royal. You would probably put bigger prices, but that's just an idea. I think this can make players more likely to spend
5. Buying arts for huge amounts of resources. We choose art in the vault and then we put resources in until we get enough, same as gathering resources for clan castle or donating for clan upgrade. 3 billion gold for art 3 would still be hard to get, but possible with some dedication. 3 billion gold at todays prices is around 15k bg's.

I'm probably being naive for sending this, or I'm just bragging because my arts suck, but I think that a lot of players would love to have more chances to get arts...

You can add in my idea to allow players to sell and trade artifacts.

And the weak will be pressured to sell their good arts cheap or trade for shitty arts or multiboxers will trade all good arts to their main acc, not a good idea to make arts tradeable.

Yes, I think too that selling arts would just feed the main account of a multiboxer. But some of my ideas might bring lots of bg's to the game, which is what admins want...

I already talked about it in another thread so I wont go over everything again.
Selling artifacts player to player is still beneficial to the server. I feel it'd be worth it.

Yes multiboxers will feed their main account.
But, it will also get players to dust off their old arts allowing weaker players a chance to purchase them for a reasonable price. The gems gained by the seller will go right back into the server. Means more gems in ruins, more arch ruins, and a healthier server.

Multiboxers aren't going anywhere. It will continue to get worse. They already have full use of the artifacts, just means they will be put them on 1 single account.

Idea is to improve the health of the server, and gameplay for the honest player.

Mate if they follow your idea we will have loads of multi boxers running around with perfected lvl 5 sets, that is good only for them, your idea is very, VERY bad for the server/game as almost every honest player would be forced to cheat or quit!

ALL Top ranking players are forced to cheat or quit and that is the fact!

You mean my idea or Nightcill's idea? I don't like idea of selling arts that much neither, but having more ways to gain random arts might be good...

Point made
I still would like the option to gain more artifacts.
Selling and trading would be a way for me to do that. I don't have a solution to the problems you brought up.

The multiboxing is a joke in this game. FelipeNeto is right all of the top players do it. Old accounts keep getting passed around over and over. Theirs just not enough chance for the new players to gain artifacts without spending a tone of cash.

Creating more options to get level 1 to 3 artifacts would be beneficial in bridging the power gap.
Older accounts and multiboxers have little to no use for those levels. But the new players do!

I think some type of tournament that is for the lower rank players only would allow them to gain artifacts in preparation for fighting all the suzerains. I don't think this would be unfair either since staying lower rank prevents you from building up your cities or army.

Strongly agree
Well said joebob

Lower levels players are inactive. I never see them doing anything but building up science and farming ruins.
Look for ways to get them more involved in the game and spending gems.
We need new players to join the game!

More types of tournaments would give weaker players hope.

Also, what about weakly or monthly tournaments?
most faction
most experience
most ruins
most enemy buildings destroyed
Best attack of the week
* reward players for playing well. Have tournaments based on their levels

** and yes again problems with multiboxing for these....
