The BattleKnight Team
Thank you all for your feedback 
I have taken note of your comments and will pass them on to the responsible team.
That said, I'd appreciate it if you could be a bit more specific and realistic about the rewards you'd like to see. Please keep in mind that suggestions such as 1000 rubies or other excessively generous rewards are not realistic and therefore are unlikely to be considered.
If you have ideas, please try to take into account factors such as players who may not already own certain rewards, as well as the overall impact those rewards could have on the game. Thoughtful and well-balanced suggestions are much more valuable and easier to forward to the team.
I look forward to reading your ideas

The time of chaos: Knights of Caldean seize the opportunity!
Once a month, a strange frenzy takes over Caldean: merchants cut prices, silver flows freely, and knights seize the chance to grow stronger.
This tradition began after a great war left armories full and markets desperate to sell. What started as chaos became a knightly custom: a time to stock up, refine skills, and upgrade gear at lower costs.
Now, the wisest knights use this moment to amass silver and prepare for battle. Will you?
Caldean awaits!
As a result, during the given dates, all knights of Caldean will have the opportunity to enjoy the following bonuses:
Mission rewards (silver) +50% Attribute upgrade costs (silver) -50% +50% accelerated mission point regeneration Travel time -50%
Enjoy the event!
Your Battleknight team.

Here we go:
I'm simply saying that I understand why this situation is frustrating, and I've explained the reasons behind it, not made excuses for it.
Fortunately, this isn't an issue I'm experiencing in the communities I manage, so it's not something I'm in a position to solve myself. As I've always said, when situations like this arise, the best option is to contact the Community Manager, as they're responsible for overseeing their communities, especially when admins are unavailable. assist much more quickly regardless of which community the ticket originated from.
Maeve In your response above, you once again refer to a Community Manager. Therefore, my question is: WHO is my Community Manager and how can I contact my Community Manager?
This question is simply being avoided.
Never mind, I've messaged all 8 of them already. Although I'm not expecting much.
It's quite rare for a Community Manager to reply directly on the forum. According to Gameforge's procedures, all account-related inquiries and reports must be handled through the support ticket system. Even if a CM does respond, they will most likely direct you to contact Support.
Through the support system, you are absolutely welcome to request that your case be reviewed. Please keep in mind that reports such as player insults or suspicions of bot usage are not normally handled directly by the Community Manager. As you can imagine, CMs have many other responsibilities, so these cases are usually dealt with by the support team. That said, if the support team is unavailable, a CM may step in and assist.
In general, a ticket remains at each support level for around 48 hours. If it hasn't been answered by the GO within that time, it is escalated to the SGO, and so on through the support hierarchy.
If you'd like, feel free to send me a private message and I'll let you know who the Community Manager is for the community you play on.
All we want to know is who, out of the many, should we actually be directing these concerns to.
Give us a comprehensive list of the current, active admins and which communities they look after.
I like the idea! I'll look into how I can implement it. I can't make any promises but I'll definitely do my best to make it happen
Display MoreYou make all the announcements for UK/US communities.
Are you responsible for those communities or not because trust me, any issue you could ever possibly imagine is definitely occurring in the UK.
And nothing is being solved by anyone.
Thats correct but I'm only responsible for the forum and for the most part, official announcements.
I'm sure Nik or Zhirelia will be able to help you with any ticket-related issues in the UK community. If it's something particularly urgent, please feel free to send me a private message explaining the situation. I'll do my best to contact them personally so your issue can be looked into as soon as possible.
Thank everyone!
Here we go:
Display MoreThe admins are too top heavy in BOARD admins - who's only role seems to be removing any post that criticizes them and making announcements which are mostly inaccurate or so late that they are pointless.
But there are ridiculously too few GAME admins. There seems to be nobody answering tickets and there is most definitely not anybody taking any action against those tickets when they finally do bother to read them.
The board is full of completely useless crap that nobody cares about. But there's 200 admins controlling it.
Please keep in mind that all communities were merged into a single forum, which is why you now see a much larger list of team members, including administrators, game operators, moderators, and other staff.
However, each team member is still responsible for the sections assigned to them in their respective language. This is the same system that has already been implemented in several other Gameforge games.
Maybe they all have to listen to all the songs that Berserker listens to, count to a billion a few times and read all about every single order war in Poland before they are allowed to do anything.
Oh and also delete any post that says anything mean about them to hide any evidence of them doing..................................................bugger all.
Users and team members have the same right to post songs, participate in forum games, or use the off-topic sections as you have to express your opinion.
If you're not interested in those sections, you can simply hide them or disable their notifications.
Likewise, if a post is edited or removed, it's because it violates the forum rules. If you're aware that certain behavior isn't allowed, you shouldn't be surprised when that content is moderated.
You have acknowledged that there is a problem with answering tickets within a reasonable time frame but you only give more excuses and no solutions.
I'm simply saying that I understand why this situation is frustrating, and I've explained the reasons behind it, not made excuses for it.
Fortunately, this isn't an issue I'm experiencing in the communities I manage, so it's not something I'm in a position to solve myself. As I've always said, when situations like this arise, the best option is to contact the Community Manager, as they're responsible for overseeing their communities, especially when admins are unavailable.
4 servers would be a lot easier to manage in each community instead of the everrgrowing amount that we get.
I feel the same way, and I haven't met a single team member who thinks otherwise. In the end, though, it's Gameforge's decision.
Display MoreI saw that you were still online after my response, and I had hoped to receive some kind of reply to my question (see your answer).
But no, absolutely nothing.
That disappoints me, just like the fact that GF refuses to take action against abuse such as the use of bots and harassment.
As a result, abusers and bullies get away with it.
But if this is how you want things to be, then it will only continue to escalate.
Good luck with your "busy tasks" ā or should I say, keep collecting free rubies while letting the users fend for themselves...
And yes, I am pissed off.
Just because I'm online doesn't mean I'm going to reply to every single message immediately. Please allow me the time to read everything properly and respond when I feel it's appropriate and necessary.
The reason I'm replying at all is because I don't want you to feel ignored or think that your concerns don't matter. But please don't mistake that for me being responsible for every issue that's being discussed.
As I've said before, I do everything that's within my reach, but I simply can't make decisions or act on behalf of a Gameforge employee.
2."Recruiting new team members is far more difficult than it seems"
Letās call this what it is: a myth. How can you complain about a lack of volunteers when there hasn't been a visible, open application phase for Game Administrators in ages? There may be 1-2 posts but somewhere deep in the archive where no one finds or see it. You cannot claim nobody wants to do the job when you aren't even opening the doors or make the approach. There is absolutely no effort made to recruit, no announcements, and zero incentives created to attract new game admins.
Hi!
GAs aren't selected in the same way as GO. It's a position with a high level of responsibility and access to sensitive information, so those appointments are made directly by the Team Managers and Community Managers. It's not a role that players can simply apply for.
Recruiting new Game Operators isn't as straightforward as it may seem either. There are a number of internal requirements that need to be met, and while we've certainly tried, it becomes very difficult when a community only has a handful of active players. On top of that, not everyone is a suitable fit for the role.
3. "Community Managers are overworked and manage multiple games" This is a corporate excuse, not a player problem. Players pay real money for Rubies and microtransactions in this game. Gameforge is a commercial company, not a charity. The moment a company continues to monetize a game while refusing to staff it properly, it becomes a scam. Defending the CMs by saying "they are busy with other games" is essentially admitting to the community that BattleKnight is being left to die while still collecting our money.
I understand why players see it that way. My intention wasn't to justify the situation, only to explain how responsibilities are currently distributed. Whether more resources should be allocated to BattleKnight is ultimately a decision that only Gameforge can make.
4. "Don't criticize team members who post announcements while support is ignored"
I agree that unresolved support is frustrating. My point was simply that different team roles have different permissions and responsibilities. Someone posting announcements doesn't necessarily have access to support tickets or the authority to handle them.
And regarding the global merge I wasn't presenting it as an excuse or an immediate solution. It was simply my personal opinion on what could improve the situation in the long term as support tickets would be centralized, allowing active team members to assist much more quickly regardless of which community the ticket originated from.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Once again, I'll pass your feedback on to the higher team so they're aware of your concerns.
Kind regards and have a great weekend! 
Hi
There are quite a few points to address here, and I simply haven't had the chance to reply to everything yet, so let's take it one step at a time.
First of all, I'd like to ask everyone to avoid repeatedly calling the volunteer team incompetent or constantly directing criticism at them. We do the best we can with the tools and resources available to us.
It's also worth remembering that the game is no longer as active as it was 20 years ago, when a community might have needed three Admins, eight sgo and fifteen GOs to keep everything running. Today, there are many more servers and communities to support, while fewer people are willing or able to volunteer their time. Recruiting new team members is far more difficult than it may seem...
That being said, I think it's worth asking whether the issue really lies with volunteers who have often dedicated more than a decade of their free time to helping the community. Over the years, many of them have started families or seen their personal priorities change, which is completely understandable. They still want to contribute, but understandably BattleKnight can no longer be their main priority.
I do understand your frustration, though. Waiting several days for a reply, or only seeing one or two tickets handled each week, can be discouraging. However, staffing and organisation are decisions that fall under the responsibility of each community's CM, not mine. Please also keep in mind that Community Managers are responsible for multiple communities, sometimes multiple games, and have many other responsibilities beyond support.
If you have an urgent issue and no admin is available to help, whether due to absence or because they are unable to handle the case, you can always contact your Community Manager directly.
What isn't helpful is turning every discussion into criticism of other team members because they post forum announcements, publish event information or participate in forum threads while support tickets remain unanswered. Different roles have different responsibilities, and it's simply not as straightforward as it may appear from the outside.
Speaking personally, I believe the most practical long-term solution would probably be to merge the remaining communities into global ones, similar to what was done with Gladiatus. Since the support system is already centralised, admins and operators from different countries are able to assist players from other communities as well, which would allow resources to be used much more efficiently.
In any case, I have read all of your feedback and I will pass your concerns on. That doesn't necessarily mean changes will happen immediately, but your comments have been heard.
Have fun, everyone!

Dragon Madness Descends Upon Caldean!
For a time, the once-thriving streets of Caldean turn into battlegrounds. A dark omen fills the skies: dragons have returned, their hunger insatiable, their fury relentless. No traveler is safe, no alley untouched by their shadow.
Long ago, these beasts were driven away by the might of the knights, but now they rise again, more ruthless than ever. Only the bravest warriors can stand against them, pushing back the chaos and restoring order to the city.
The call has been made: knights of Caldean, arm yourselves! Face the dragon menace, and in return, claim great rewards worthy of your courage.
Will you rise to the challenge, or let the city fall to flames?
The battle begins now!
If fortune smiles upon you, not only will you earn silver as an additional loot, but you may also have the chance to obtain one of the five coveted pieces from the Gryphon equipment set!
Enjoy the event!
Your Battleknight team.

Hello again!
I think my previous message may have been misunderstood, so I would like to clarify a few things:
I never said that modifying the game or adding new content is impossible. What I said is that, due to the age and structure of the game's code, many changes tend to create unexpected problems in other parts of the system. In older games, systems are often deeply interconnected, meaning that changing one feature can unintentionally affect several others.
To give a simple example: adding a new mission area is not always just "creating new enemies and rewards". It can impact balancing, calculations, database structures, quest systems, localisation, event scaling, item generation, server stability, and other mechanics that were originally built almost 20 years ago under very different technical standards.
Regarding Gladiatus, while both games are old, they are not built in exactly the same way internally, nor do they necessarily have the same development priorities, technical architecture, or available resources assigned to them. What is feasible in one project is not automatically feasible in another without risk or significant development time.
About the investment topic: when I mentioned that investment is limited, I was not referring to whether players spend money or support the game. I am fully aware that many players continue to buy rubies and support BattleKnight very actively, and that support is genuinely appreciated.
What I meant is that development resources are finite. Even if revenue exists, decisions regarding how many developers work on a project, how much time can be allocated, or which technical tasks are prioritised are made at company level. Unfortunately, those decisions are outside the control of the community team.
Many of these suggestions have been requested internally for years as well. The fact that something has not been implemented does not necessarily mean that nobody wants it... sometimes it simply means the technical cost, risk, or required workload is much higher than it appears from the outside.
That being said, feedback and suggestions are still important. They are forwarded, discussed internally, and taken into consideration even if we cannot always provide the result players hope for immediately.
