  • How to Kill a server

    Well there are TLO and PH.



    If the order is attacking PH who do you think they are going to hire as mercs? Surely that's basic enough for anyone to understand.




    It's a fighting game and you were in the enemy order of course you were attacked.





    I don't want to say you are making yourself look a bit stupid here, but you kind of are.




    Our orders were enemies. So we fought.




    Did you think that somehow you would be left alone for some reason???



    You make this same argument on whatever server you play on. " I only attack your order because I'm being attacked "


    Well newsflash - the people who attacked you were also being attacked by the cheating dummies in your order.



    This is the same on every server in every country - People don't like being attacked so they take it out on the people they can beat.



    I do it, you do it - everyone does it.


    This isn't new. It's been happening for 20 years.




    Again, It's a fighting game, you've played it long enough to know this. Why do you expect to not get attacked???



    If anyone gives up playing because they are getting attacked then they were playing the wrong game to begin with.

  • How to Kill a server

    The fact is that when the merge first happened, even before any of the orders had castles, the big knights in PH were using scripts and bullying the crap out of everyone they could beat constantly - every few hours.


    They've now all left due to bans or just couldn't keep up the script using.


    But the smaller people in PH, including the knight you are playing were also attacking everyone because they felt supported by those big players.



    PH set out to destroy TLO right from the start. We fought back and the people who started the fight have up and left, but TLO are still there and still fighting against what is left of PH.


    That's not our fault that those people abandoned you to try and continue a fight that they started.


    People in TLO just stayed and are still fighting.



    I don't see how you can complain when you and the other people who are still active in PH spent all of your time attacking TLO members.


    You and especially TRUTEK have been attacking smaller players constantly.



    But that is the game. We just played it longer.



    And the 5th order that takes away your castle every time you get one is not TLO.


    It's made up of people that PH annoyed constantly with the cheating and bullying tactics and they decided PH shouldn't have the comfort of a castle.


    But they aren't TLO. They just get good mercs.

  • How to Kill a server

    Well, everyone was so desperate for gameforge to merge all the servers together.



    I was one of the few who said it was a bad idea.



    But if you merge 20 servers that all had a TLO on them then all those people had to go somewhere.




    Personally I would blame all the cheating scumbags in PH who used bots/scripts any possible cheat they could find to try and beat us and most ended up getting banned for it.



    PH tried to annihilate TLO and failed incredibly badly.



    Don't blame us for fighting back and because you couldn't handle it your order(s) crumbled in to nothing.



    If your bigger knights had concentrated more on fighting instead of using scripts to level up so quickly then maybe the rest of your knights wouldn't have deserted your orders and made a bit more effort.

  • Suggestions for possible changes to the game

    I think a shake up of the admin system would help.





    Like maybe cut down on the amount of board admins and replace them with some game admins to answer tickets.



    Why we need so many board admins when they mostly ignore people's questions posted here is beyond me.



    The fact that we now have multiple threads made by board admins with the same content just goes to show that they seem to ignore each others posts as much as they ignore the players.




    Maybe a board admin can prevent Someone posting every single record that's ever been written or every single war in Poland being posted here.

  • Holiday wishes and Community Feedback



    Almost totally agree with this. Especially the mobile phone issues. The estates menu on the right is great on PC but a hindrance on mobile phone. Mobile phone use improved massively with drag and drop working but it's still not perfect, enlarging everything constantly to avoid clicking on the wrong thing is a pain. Being asked to confirm every action would be a pain but useful to prevent accidental purchases or trips to wrong places.


    Just a decent app that lots of people have suggested would probably fix most things on mobile phones.



    Not sure about changes to the war system though.



    But all the rest of the things seem to be universally what people want changed.





    Interesting, that as Gadom says - making changes to the one thing that nobody ever complains about ( monthly madness ) is a bit odd - but if it's changes for the better then all good.

  • What Would Make the Game Better?

    1. Stop rolling out new servers. It doesn't increase income, it makes no sense.


    If there were just 5 servers in each country, then those 5 servers would be full, active and generating income.


    Every time there's a new server then yes there will be a boost in gem buying but the other servers die a bit more and drop in gem buying.


    2. I like some of the new buffs on the estate bonuses but acid is just too high. It's a free pass for the dumbheads who use bots instead of really playing.


    3. Everyone has said this : new tournament ranges above 150. New challenges above what it is now........is it 120 last challenge? Can't remember. Even if it is every 25 levels or something it's still something else to aim for. Better gear selection at high levels, everyone wants that.


    4. Probably a bit controversial but...............I think they should get rid of negative xp. In fact, they never should have had it, ever.


    All the level sitters and tournament knights will call for a lynching right now but it's ridiculous that people spend all day attacking new players over and over just so they can sit at level 12 or 19 for, I don't know, years.


    They justify themselves by saying they are F2P but all they are is bullies who make new players want to give up before they've even started.



    2 people start playing a server on the day it starts. 1 levels up normally the other sits at level 12 with 1000 times the fights constantly attacking level 3's but with the same stats as the person levelling up normally. Totally unfair on new players.

    And. If the normal player attacks them, the level sitters thinks they are the bully.


    Take away negative XP and each server should have leagues or tiers.

    The tiers should be silver based. 0-1 million in bottom tier. 1-10 million in 2nd tier and so on.

    You should only be able to attack people in your tier.


    It protects new players a bit and gives them a reason to keep playing and gives real players something to aim for - levelling up through the tiers.

    I'm just surprised at how young you are.


    I thought you were much older than 48.




    But you are wise beyond your years maybe.




    When you are 53 and allowed back on the boards, the problems will be the same.






    also Kopaszjano



    This is the International section and the language expected here is English.



    If you go to the French section and speak in your own language you get abuse from the French players and a warning from the French board admin.


    But having gone to the trouble of translating your messages, I think you'll find that nothing I have said is a lie. People are buying rubies and not getting them. Fact.


    Yes the problem will eventually be sorted out, but right now they are getting nothing. So I'd appreciate not being called a liar in any language, thanks.

  • Ruby

    Firstly : I wrote maximum 3 posts in a row.


    Secondly : Maeve wrote " You will not lose either your money or your rubies. " Which I know doesn't mean it but, if you take that sentence at face value, it does actually say that we we will not lose either which in a court of law would mean we would have to get both back.



    Don't worry, I know that this isn't the case and that Maeve intended to say we would get either our money or our rubies back - before you start trolling me for that.



    Thirdly : Are you an admin? Why do you think you have the right to tell me to " hold it back a little " on a public forum designed for discussion?


    And how are my accusations exaggerated exactly??




    Did Gameforge advertise a 50% bonus for all ruby purchases ? Yes


    Did we receive a 50% bonus for ruby purchases? No, We actually received 0 rubies.


    Is the advertisement still active in game? Yes


    Are people still purchasing rubies expecting not just their rubies but 50% extra ? Yes - including you, testing it when you already know it doesn't work. Says a lot.


    Are gameforge actively fixing this problem? No, they're on holiday until probably the 5th January.





    So exactly what are my exaggerated accusations???




    Fourthly : again, what do you mean " format my texts properly " you've said this before and didn't answer me when I asked what you meant.



    Fifthly : I don't know if I beat you in-game and you don't like me for this, so you feel that you have to come into the forum and disagree with everything I say, but if that is the case then there's an easy solution............................




    Just buy a couple of thousand euros worth of rubies. You'll get a good deal at the moment - 50% extra.


    It might make you a bit better. Try it.

  • Ruby

    Everyone who comes to the forum understands the situation, but not everybody comes here.



    It is still being advertised so there are still people paying money and getting nothing.





    Being told we have to wait over a week for the problem to be fixed doesn't really make people happy right now does it?

  • Ruby

    My point is that if the roles were reversed and payments weren't getting to Gameforge then you can be damned sure that they would have had somebody in and fixing this problem instantly.




    But as it's the customers who aren't getting what we've paid for then we can wait at least a week and have ourselves a merry little christmas.




    That's Gameforge's customer service.

  • Ruby

    So you're saying we will get our money back AND our rubies ????



    You are right, that is a good deal. I just thought we would lose at least one of them.





    Yes, I agree. This will eventually be sorted out. But in a week or so. Not right now.




    Which means that I, along with the hundreds or maybe thousands of people who took this advertised deal are out of pocket for at least a week and because there is nobody around in Gameforge to receive our complaints then we come to the FORUM to voice our complaints. The place provided by Gameforge for players to talk.





    If you do not want to read them, then don't. It's called choice.

  • Ruby

    Continuing to advertise a product when they have been notified that it is just taking peoples money without providing that product is probably breaking a few laws.





    and how many people will just no longer trust the ruby shop?




    Gameforge's lack of staff at this time and the vague promise of maybe getting it sorted in a weeks time just demonstrates what a money grabbing company they actually are. With no respect for their paying customers.



    They will lose paying customers because of this poor service, but do they care???

  • Ruby

    If they run an event like this then they should have somebody available to sort out problems. No matter if it's Christmas or holidays there should be someone there. There should also be somebody to remove the advert in game to prevent more people falling into this trap.






    All the admins will do here is delete this thread to remove the evidence. Don't want these negative vibes man.
