I think they mean the opposite to what you think. By "profitable strategy games" they are talking about bigfarm and that medieval Empire one, which will become their sole focus from now on. They will be scrapping those small minor games that GGS is running too, like they did that cafe game and other small games (have a look on ggs support main site, they got quite a number of them)
figures the news would arrive rather sooner than later While a lot of departments have been and will be affected by these changes, I can assure you that our Big Farm studio will continue to work hard on making BF even better and better!
In fact, BF is one of our most successful and well-recieved games at the moment, and some big updates are planned for the future, so you can rest assured Big Farm won't be closed anytime soon
What might happen though are some changes to CM, and consequentually the forums - most likely the smaller ones. We will have lots of talks regarding this come next week, and I will of course update you on everything.
I do hope the forum will continue in some form or another -- it's our go-to source for advice and help.
Thank you, CM Latten, for your feedback.
I currently have the candy island running and would have bought gold today to put into the final few days but as things stand my money is staying firmly in my pocket,
Hablar de "reestructuración" menospreciando el sacrificio de todos los que han llevado adelante este juego es lamentable.
Siempre he admirado la labor que hacen, porque en cada arbolito, en cada piedra o animalito, uno puede leer claramente el amor y dedicación que vive en cada uno de los desarrolladores del juego, y en cada mensaje el espíritu colaborativo que caracteriza a cada uno de los moderadores.
En estos tiempos en los que los intereses y los poderes económicos invaden todos los rincones de nuestra vida cotidiana, la granjita ha sido un remanso para quienes disfrutamos de la buena compañía, del tiempo invertido como divertimento, de la competencia como juego y no como batalla.
Espero, sinceramente, que los dueños de esta empresa revean sus decisiones, que han provocado el desempleo de muchos que nos hacen felices día a día, con su inocencia de niños y su talento de grandes.
También espero que esta despedida se transforme en reencuentro, y que podamos disfrutar como cada día de tus mensajes, de los dibujos de bigfarm, de las pequeñas tareas que nos alegran y nos permiten olvidar las preocupaciones del estudio, del trabajo o del entorno.
¡¡¡Vamos, BigFarm, no tires por la borda el espíritu de comunidad que supieron construir cada uno de tus miembros!!!
forget the test server. Stupid thing won't "recognize" my email. I can't even see what that's all about.
New stuff in the game NEVER comes with enough instruction or explanation so the only way to figure stuff out is asking in the forums. But I couldn't even do that.
Again the forums seem to be working now but normally every time I try to post I am prompted to sign in. THen it tells me my email is invalid.
Today though, from the game I got in fine. (As it used to be and should have stayed that way.)
As for this game? I haven't played in weeks. Don't miss it either. Actually playing galaxy again which GG stopped supporting. However, there are a lot of serious players on there. And since no one cares about multiple accounts anymore, it got fun again. I really wish since you (gg) keeps asking for money on a game they won't support and still has "coming soon" all over the place, that they could have at least left it without being such a dead end. Looping tasks like on bigfarm would have been nice. Clearing alliance funds at the very least annually would have made it more challenging. So most players have started new bases. I personally have put real money on several bases. WHY won't they work on this one anymore?
But the only real good thing, no one keeps screwing with stuff that works. We all know what we have and it won't suddenly be messed with. When I couldn't get into the forums to figure out what new thing is in big farm, I just plain lost interest.
STILL WAITING for SOMEONE TO BOTHER ANSWERING SUPPORT TICKETS!!!!!!!!
Hard to feel sorry for job losses. Instead of growing the business, this is a sure fire way to LOSE the very gamers you want to attract.
I am not sure what you mean when you say that the Test server does not recognise your email & password. After you have selected the Test server next to your flag, at the bottom of the screen, you then need to fill in the large box in the middle of the screen, this creates a new account on the test server (which is a brand new level 1 farm). After that, whenever you login again, you would then use the small login box on the right. If you are using that small login right from the start, that would explain why your ID is not recognised, as the account has not yet been created.
To get back to your regular farm, you logout of the test server farm, change the server back from Test server to US1 and use the login on the right to log back into your farm as usual.
meeeee2dalt if you send me a PM with details of the farm that you have lost track of (username & server) I will see what I can find out for you.
Obviously selling decos for ridiculous amounts of gold, is nothing to do with level, but more to do with who wants to have something that very few people will have & can afford to throw that much money at it, that is no different from real life, there will always be the haves & the have-nots, whether it is a designer bag that is 100x the price of an almost identical well made bag, but has a designer label on it or a deco in a game that serves no function other than to say look what I can afford to have on my farm.
It doesn`t price players out of the game, because it is not necessary to have those items in order to play the game. I cannot afford them, but they don`t particularly bother me, they often make me laugh. Occasionally there will be one that I would really like to have, but I am not going to stop playing the game just because I can`t have it. At the end of the day, are you REALLY missing out on any important part of the game, by not having those high price items?
People complain a great deal about the "greediness of GGS" and the absurdity of the gold deals (recently also about gold deals being offered on the test server "how dare they do it because undoubtedly someone will be compelled, nay veritably forced, to go and buy gold despite the numerous warnings that the test farm is temporary, and then lose it all ").
I have self-control and free will, no-one can force me to buy gold.
After playing the game for 2 years now I am steadily getting where I want to be.
Sure, I'd like to have huge stashes of gold -- can't afford it, though.
In retrospect, that may have been a huge blessing since the question arises: would I still have been playing, 2 years down the line, if every aspect of the game (bought with gold) had just dropped into my lap ? (very much suspect that I wouldn't).
So instead of gold I make do with strategic planning and hard and regular work on my farms.
What's that you say? You detect a slight feeling of superiority because I worked for what I've achieved and not just bought it ? No, no, no .... .......... ..... ok, yes, I'll shamefacedly admit to a bit of that.
So, putting aside our own issues, feelings of indignation, and guilty pride, might we spare a moment of thought for those people at GGS who are in the process of losing their jobs - which seems a much more pressing and real issue of concern, since they are real people and not pixels on a screen.
Well put! I have been at this game now for over 3 years, very rarely spend real money on buying gold, simply can not afford it. So I try to be careful and earn it through the game. Now I may not have the most spectacular farms but I have managed to build them up to what they are now from just what I've earned in the game.
Hear, hear - totally agree with each and everyone of you! Saying my piece would only mean repeating your words
The other games which are shutting down, i have visited and they are marketing big farm as an alternative simulation game. Not Empire or the other ones.
But ...but ... that's diabolical !
I also know that many employees are part time programmers and not full time. The part time employees who GGS deems worthy will get full time positions and that is just how business works.
Most of us play this game for pleasure, but on the other end it is a business. All we can hope for is that they will be ethical as a business.
After all we all separate business from pleasure, so we must inherently see a disconnect between the servers and the players.
