SO...I get conned out of rubies and support refuse to give them back. But when a ruby player does the same as me they get them back? This to me is point blank evidence that support and GGE don't give a fuck about us non ruby buyers...

That's the name of his fire castle not his player name, try looking at the OP. He's already back in in BSK75, amazing his castle was not restarted.
Long time no see indeed! Hope you've been keeping well!
I'm sure everyone will be glad to have you back, and will give you any help you might need along the way.
Have a good'n!
Regards,
Steve.

Am I dreaming? The turnip lives! Seems those preservatives really do work…
So, ya wanna know what happened? Well, here'd be my rendition of updates:
We begin with one you may know: The Wheel of Fortune, significant only by the fact that it's the first GGE event only open to ruby players, and for introducing gambling to our beautiful world. One can get near-God-Commander equipment from this thing, as well as some ridiculous PO buildings, but doing so requires fantastic amounts of cash!
Next came the auto-war update, and update that made all attacks, and failed sabotages, automatically declare war between the alliances involved. It also introduced a feature wherein alliances could demand 50% of the enemies' alliance fund (not including rubies) in order to end a war. This update was pretty significant, given that it resulted in more than 3k posts in a week, on the english forum alone. So many people stopped buying rubies (across all languages and servers) that GGS was forced to renege on this one, at least the auto war part of it. Some alliances got 30+ declarations in the first few hours.
Then came the foreign invaders; a valiant attempt to create wars between servers by introducing NPC proxy-castles that represent servers' players on other servers. A valiant failure, this update was significant only for allowing players to get glory from NPCs, resulting in a mass of ruby and none-ruby buyers gaining the title of "The terrible" by gaining 100k glory in 3 days.
We continue the year with the underworld, a perfect clone, right down to the defensive setups, of thorn king. The innovation here was the addition of a master level; a second clone, this time of itself but with defensive setups so expensive, in terms of ruby tools, to defeat, that even top family dogs didn't want to play, despite rewards nearly as powerful as God commanders.
After that came the new glory ranks, who's bonuses included giving you a full 8% more glory on each attack! Unfortunately these new levels also cost an additional 8% glory per day to maintain, and with the addition of new veteran kingsguard and the removal of the glory cap, even the foreign invaders can't maintain these insane new titles.
Moving on, we got gems! A way to add additional bonuses to your favorite equipment, including such things as increased combat strength, return travel speed, or additional troops on a flank, resulting in armies of 2000+ men. However, these little buggers also have an increasing chance of breaking when they are crafted, meaning that until now, not a single player has succeeded in getting a lvl10 gem to my knowledge.
Then we got monuments; a sort of king's tower building, but giving a small glory bonus and strewn by the bucketload across the map.
Moving on, we get legendary levels, which are basically an increase in the level cap and Storm Islands, but nobody cared about that after the first week.
The final change that is worth mentioning, is that GGS allowed kingdom resources like coal, oil or glass to be shipped between all kingdoms. Simultaneously, they also required these resources for the construction of many buildings and putting out fires, forgetting in their haste that only lvl50+ players even have access to all these resources. This resulted in an outrage even bigger than the auto-war update, with thousands of posts in a matter of hours. GGS relented after a few days, and now this st*pid arbitrary requirement is only required for some high level buildings, and only for lvl70s.
Anyway, that's my summary of the past couple months, in other news I also managed to become the terrible without buying rubies (no, no foreign invaders either), and shortly afterwards left the game.
Anyway, good to see ya again, hope you enjoy yourself as you used to.
Regards,

This is not true, i know of several ppl on USA1 who have forged lvl 10 gems, you can increase the chance of success to 100% per forge of gems even at lvl 9 to 10, with rubies..quite a lot of them actually.
This is despite the fact that the chance of getting a gem to lvl 10 w/o rubies in the first place is about literally impossible

But still, thanks for clearing that up. Interesting to know that at least someone got that far, although I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. It'd be hilarious if some of 'em ended up with increased resistance to fire damage, or something similar xD. Do you know how much the last level costs?

Hey Triangle, did you know that you are on the list of candidates for the forumer of 2014?
Um . . . I don't have enough titles. I must brainstorm!
@au1 ~ graceL.H.E - Level 70 - Storm Cloaks - The Terrible
@en1 ~ InsaneDuckling - Level 70 - New Vision - The Terrible
One of those weird old players who became all sentimental after leaving the game before they could see dear old Empire rot away even more.
Retired from duties in September 2015.
Once Leader of Phoenix Sword and the once prominent alliance empire, Phoenix. Proud member of now collapsed OU. All organizations mentioned above have collapsed or merged into other prominent alliances since. Co-founder of the Force family.
"I have seen many wars fought through my four years on this server. I have seen families rise and fall. I have been members of prominent organizations in International 1 and International 2, and have played in United States 1 with my forum buddies as well. It has shown me many things, but mainly that every action that is partaken in this game and in the world can only be deemed right or wrong depending upon your perspective. Never pass the blame, fight hard to succeed. As a non-ruby player, I managed to create and nurture not one but two of the most successful alliance families in International 2. Believe, there is always another path. Success is determined by the amount of effort you are willing to put in"
but still he is not around the forums for a while.
Of which half of them contain the phrase "Do a search"
