Incorrectly spawned Metropolises / Missing Metropolis

Is the rumor that the extra Metropolises on AU1 that spawned yesterday are going to be removed tomorrow?

    Hi shattered65,

    Where did you hear that? I can't confirm anything at the moment since i haven't heard anything.

    Regards

    Well, it's true. They spawned wrongly. Damn, bang goes my metro :(

    Will there also be compensation for the coins and resources used to support and supply these "accidental" metropolises? And the rubies of course.

    All those new metros are going away ... this is going to anger a lot of people.

    I need my rubies back for sending those capture attacks in the first place.. but what about all those who have ruby build them and how convinient it was to have the merchat tent available during all these. people have burned 100s of £. how are they going to be compensated.

    This is pretty ridiculous. One of my members spent £600 buying rubies specifically to upgrade the new metro. He doesn't need rubies in that quantity. I know he'll receive compensation, but it seems ridiculous that he will get rubies back, but then never use them. This was a HUGE mistake by GGE. (EN1) A mistake that had best be sorted swiftly and with respect and attention to the players affected.

    Ethan,

    I had a metro I captured yesterday which I was building and spent in the range of 150,000 rubies building - not to mention troops stationed at this outpost.

    As you have removed it, I would like to be compensated back the rubies/resource/soldiers that existed at this metro. Rubies are real dollars, we are not talking 10 dollars here. I buy alot of rubies per month

    If I pay for a service or good - I don't expect it to be removed/taken away from me without any notice at all..

    And what happens to those players who donated real money via paypal accounts to the metro holders? If compensation is in the way of rubies, they get nothing.

    Can we please have some details on the methods of compensation for metro holders AND those who supported/supplied.

    Also, personally, I lost all my troops and tools that were stationed/installed in my metro. Is there a plan for this too?

    And what about all those players who wasted troops, rubies and coins in failed captures? Do they get compensation too?

    what a load of bull that GGE has pulled this time.

    aus1 had a lot of metros and people spent actual money and rubies on them, and what happens you guys take them away. nothing about it to them just gone in an instant. now you say "compensation" but they'll never get back what they put into them. you won't be able to take back the wars they caused, the rubies people spent on horses or tools or fast building or sending resources. If you guys want to properly fix this update that you so royall screwed up you better rewind the server otherwise you will need a lot more comp than just those holding them to start:

    -refund rubies people spent on horses to get to these new metros (over 300 squares away, thousands in rubies)
    -coin costs to get there and sent troops (once again thousands)
    -cost of tools in attack on these metros between alliances
    -cost of tools used to defend from other alliances
    -any damage done to players because of wars over metros (we have an alliance who has been burnt badly because of their ownership)
    -compensation for the tool, coin and resource use in wars over metros
    -refund rubies used to fast build things (80k rubies to fast build emporium)
    -rubies used for ruby gear (moats, towers, bakeries, decor etc.)
    - Resources that players sent to help the owners build their stuff up. ( A LOT OF RESOURCES)

    I highly doubt you will do any sort of compensation that will make this worthwhile to any players. shame on you GGS just when you launched something good

    This is unbelievable- they have just taken Metros and I have lost 200,000 k of rubies improvements not to mention 500k each of res donated by the alliance. This is absolutely unacceptable and I like,Kevin, want a refund immediately. I can not believe the manner in which GGE treats its paying customers- businesses that show this attitude toward customers go broke

    Hi guys,

    There has already been an announcement about this made on the forums. If you were the owner of one of the removed metropolis then you will be compensated.

    Regards,
    Ethan

    My goodness,

    You implement what seems like a great update (the Metros) everyone loves it, and then BAM, you screw up AGAIN. I cannot believe it, two players in my alliance captured Metros last night, started rubying them up, having great fun, and then you have to go and ruin it don't you?

    The removing of many of the Metros - Metros people spent time, rubies, and resources upgrading - is a complete joke. You offer compensation - but that's not really the point is it.

    I will wait, along with the rest of the community, for you to prove to us that you can actually implement updates that don't leave your players in anger, due to the fact that you clearly have no forward planning or testing before you introduce things. And instead of believing it's okay just to use us as guinea pigs - get things right the first time!

    A little rushed,

    Sam

    EDIT: This has also been removed from this thread - stop deleting my relevant posts. Stop imposing censorship.

    ''I don't appreciate the title of my thread being changed - there were no inappropriate words in it, and actually reflected better the point of the thread than what Mr Malreyn has needlessly changed it to. Considering that actually 'missing metropolis' does not in any way reflect what this thread is about, and that it is actually about the incompetence of GGE (and the missing metropolises are just part of that), I'm frankly shocked that my rights of freedom of speech have been significantly compromised, just because one person didn't like it.''

    Hi Ethan,

    Back to your info of the removal of several ( a lot ) Metropolises!
    You said, that you would contact the owners of the Metropolises.

    How would you compensate that?

    Hundred Thousends of rubies
    Millions of wood, stone
    Soldiers

    The whole alliances had a part of it in it!!!

    I am really interested how you will solve this, because a lot of money is send and " without" any of pre - announce!!!!

    I hear soon from you I hope.

    So "sadly" the Members who also sent vast amounts of resources to build and make their Metropolis a viable Alliance addition just have to "suck it up"???? This goes very close to being the most absurd "fix" ever GGE!!!

    so all the rubies, resources, etc, that eveybody in the alliance has spent, they are idiots
    only the owners are important

    I'd sure like to have all the resources back that I send to those new metros. And of course be fully compensated for the cost of trying to obtain these metros...

    Wow, of all the bugs/coding errors GG has made this just... I mean i can't even... Just, like, wow..
