    I'm heartbroken when good vital players leave the game. whether it's my alliance or someone in a neighboring one. It looks like GGE is going the way walmart did - sure, you'll lose customers, but they'll be replaced by others who don't know any different.
    what an unneccesary loss.

    Yeah, but walmart have the benefit of being cheap.
    It's been a while.....

    But u can only browse for free there, cant get anything without paying for it. Here u can have most of the things for free, you only have to pay if you want better quality items or faster service time. Obviously without people paying for better items the shop has to become a walmart, but it would also mean most of the current customer base wont be able to use the shop at all.

    Wow, i think your service providers can be happy that u dont leave an invoice behind after using the service based on ,"time is money". But this is a very good idea, next time i go shopping will start a timer and based on my hourly wage i will get it deducted from my shopping bill, i might end up with more money and a full basket lol

    You do realize that NONE of your comments on this topic are even remotely relevant or helpful to anyone don't you? Your constant "budget" preaching is common knowledge for a 5th grader and this update and the reaction to it has NOTHING to do with budgeting at all.

    I know some people just like to hear themselves talk but your getting ridiculous.

    Updates=more leaving

    How shall i be helpful when actually "updates" have nothing to do with players leaving the game, the equipments, the technicus, the new villages, blade coast all evolved the game in a good way, all this years updates were absolutely brilliant, or do you think these updates were bad? So the topics title obviously has nothing to do with the comments in it, as everybody have to admit 95% of this years updates were definetely good. Regards and thanks for your constructive comment, surely it will be a big help for developers to resolve your problem

    To be honest, you need to put a lot of effort to design a new thing into a game. And you need to design it in advance so you can have actual numbers and effects so the players can actually vote on something they know what changes will effect them. A complex update like new levels, new buildings all take weeks or months to plan in advance. And what if the community say no, its not extremely neccesary, so the company will simply ditch something they already put tens of thousands of euros in staff hours?

    Or just give them a hint, do you need equipments? And if they say yes they will start working on it that may end up unimplenentable to the gameplay also resulting throwing out money in the window.

    Or do it half, ask the community if they want it, but the other half will disappoint the community so either they ditch it or implement the company will lose money again or leave the players dissatisfied?

    There are plenty of designed or halfly designed updates that ends in the bin as it cannot be implemented in the code without completely messing it up or simply doesnt fit the gameplay.

    If there will be no new updates there will be hundreds of thread about "no more updates=players leaving the game.

    So the only thing that could work is implement the update and after discuss it and make the neccesary changes upon customer feedbacks

    You started in April 2012, the game first came out about summer 2011, in a extreme beta. After that everyone's account was reset to zero.

    Anyway, the game wasn't that great in the first couple months I played it, you couldnt get xp from buildings and it took ages to level up. By the time you joined, you could get xp when building, and research and many alliance features were put in by the time you joined. By the way, the level 39 cap was put in when Ice realm was put in. It was further increased when sands and fire came in.

    lol man you can have some serious problems in your life, my worktime is my worktime and my freetime is my freetime, and in my freetime i feel myself well and absolutely dont care about how much money i could earn during that time while im having fun!

    this game is not for you, do some more work instead. better if you live on red bull so you can earn money 24/7 until you get a heart attack lol. have a good life!

    Ggs is the worst example you can come up with anyway, they dont give a toss outside office hours, they have their own life and most probably having fun or sleeping well right now, they will continue work tomorrow morning, until then they simply leave u alone with your ingame problems. Also seems like they dont lose too much sleep about your boycott either.

    Gaz, you irritiating, arrogant, conceited CM wannabe, why don't you do us all a favor and simply stop posting. There is not enough space on the server that hosts this forum to put into words how little we care about anything you have to say. You spend your time on here belittling people who expresses the real impacts that this change has had on them, as if you were the ultimate authority on, well, everything, when in fact most of what you say is simply pro-GGS nonsense you spout in order to suck up to the real CM's.

    Fact: You are not an employee of GGS. And since all you do, when you're not insulting others for having a valid concern about the direction this game is going, is speculate on what GGS does, let me, on behalf of everyone on here, release you from your self-imposed duty of speaking for GGS because we don't care what you have to say. All it does is piss people off and detract from the real work that is trying to be accomplished here, which is to sort out this mess.

    GGS, a suggestion, since this is the suggestion portion of the forum: Allow us to have a method to block certain users's ridiculous posts from appearing within threads. And Gaz, I know you'll have some witty comment about blocking me, since all you've ever been able to do when I criticize you is use my own words against me, let me save you the time, I couldn't care less about how you would deal with me, because at the end of the day you have demonstrated that you are sub par in almost every way.

    Bottom line, stop bullying people trying to post their concerns on this website by trying to make yourself sound smarter than them, which you are not, or by trying to suggest that they "have some serious problems in their life", which clearly you do. You are so much less than you give yourself credit for.

    Come at me like you want me to come at you. Come at me with respect, get respected. Come at me with stupidity, get disdain. Come at me with lies, get revealed. Come at me with insults and the gloves come off. I am the consequence of the golden rule.

    And above all, never hate on Dream Team, for Dream Team is my heart.

    Maybe GGS gets pressured to release better updates,but becuase they're so pressured,the updates end up being horrible,which builds up even more pressure O.o

    And who has been pressuring them? They got lucky and made a game that a LOT of people enjoy and their success went to their heads, now they're trying to take a great game and make it even better when they should just be focusing on making it RUN MORE SMOOTHLY.

    I see something about an update which will make it so we can see troops outside of our barracks. Who the hell asked for that? Seems like they just want to make this game lag as much as possible. I'm starting to honestly think they want everyone to stop playing this game, I can't think of any other explanation.

    KEEP THE GAME SIMPLE FFS

    I've never been tempted to post on the forums before, but this post really deserves applause.

    This is common as games begin to fail. Developer put in drastic changes in the game thinking they will make more money. However, this causes unrest and people end up leaving the game. Now that people are leaving the developers panic and make even more changes to try to increase profits and its nothing but a downward spiral into a dead game that would have been fine if they just would have left it alone.

    The unfortunate situation with what's happening to Empire, and it's sad that greed caused all of it.

    Just because a single update("bugfix") everybody is taking about downward spiral. Without equipments you couldnt even get 50k+ coins from a tower. You are missing something that didnt even exist 3 months ago. You simply got use to it and set yourself as standard, and you feel you cant live without it anymore. You DID live without it earlier and had no problems, but now you feel you went bankrupt. First world country problems...
