I mean, log in once in the morning, log in once in the evening.
Some people are home for fewer than 12 hours per day.
In which case you probably have other things on your mind, than being super efficient in a game. Joking aside, I absolutely hate trying to play Ikariam on my smartphone. But even I could manage to click on the mines and donate.

I do agree with the complaint about the time required to level mines. Sure someone online 24 hours a day has enough time but most of us are not that person and may only be able to start one 12 hour levelling per day.
I mean, log in once in the morning, log in once in the evening. Even if you've got like half a dozen Islands, clicking through all those mines wont take that long.

Just less than 4 hours
problem solved
or tell the reason why will be 12 hours? not 8 hours?
That wouldn't actually solve the problem of the hypothetical person who can only log in once a day.

OK then

Display MoreGuys, things are much simpler.
Will the mines be level 1?
It is solved by donating again and searching for active players/alliances. (With the merger they give you a bonus to donate again everything you donated in ikariam)
The most active players have been asking for years what they are going to do now. I hope everything doesn't get screwed up.
I hope the bonus issue is resolved as soon as possible and everything goes as planned, including the dates.
ikariam is not just EN, there are many more countries and communities that have been asking for what they are going to do now for years.
U will take all your donation back
but mines will be level 1 -
Display MoreFrom what i have understood about complains/ suggestions from other players. Here is TLDR from community:
1. Server options 2 and 3 (and 4 to some extent) lacking compared to 1. - PROBABLY A FEATURE
2. Upgrading of mines cap of 12 hours is too long. (cap should be at 4 hours or less)
3. Initial satisfaction bonus of +1000 ( Festival of Worlds bonuses) is not big enough especially since not enough wine production due to upgrading of mines taking too long (mentioned in 2.)
4. People should be informed about the merger in game / vie email sooner, so they can prepare and plan
5. Some players with old wonder accounts want a 15 minute head start - NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
6. Oldest original servers (aka. "alpha") should not merge, since they are quite full and go back a long way and therefore people play on them due to history and nostalgia. And to completely wipe it with brand new server is not a good idea. Perhaps keep a few original servers as another option for players to choose instead of 4 brand new ones.
7. There are too few spaces with "useful" miracles (Poseidon, forge) - WONDERS AND LAYOUT WILL STAY THE SAME
8. Merging old and new servers together is unfair to players on newer servers
9. Knowing in advance exact time when the merge will start would be nice
Upgrading of mines cap of 12 hours is too long
yes, the one I only care about~
They are setting 12 hours upgrade time, why and any reason? -
What's happened?

How about making Chinese announcement?
Do we have a Chinese community?
But we had Chinese players

check the discord and see how many dislike it.
also you can show statistics about how many asked for this merge if you want to point fingers, it goes both ways
and also maybe the first 4 pages of this post in case you missed them
you always have nothing of value to say draxo
There are some issues with this justification.
First of all, if we bring up some dislike reactions on discord (as you posted there) - with that logic, the newest community server is more disliked than the merge.
This would not strengthen your point.
Secondly, we do have to consider the loud minority.
People that are content don't rush out the woods to say it, while unhappy portion certainly does.
Last but not least, it is not incorrect to say that the playerbase interacting with the forum or the discord is very much the minority.
No things said there, positive or negative, can be taken as the "voice of the people".
so if the new servers are more disliked than the merge then the merge must be very well looked after because the people only sent 1/3 of the reaction compared to a new server even tho in both cases they are looked with disgust; it does strenghten my point for being the only statistics we have; create a poll on all live servers if you want to see more concrete evidence, but of course gf doesn't care about player's opinions
secondly, why do you call it the loud minority? because most player base doesn't use discord and forum?
you always have nothing of value to say draxo
I love you too, mate!
Ok, you got me - I checked this thread and guess what I saw: probably 10 unique accounts complaining about the merge as such. From what I remember when checked the game last time we have a 'bit' more players. Calling 10 or 15 players as a majority of a game with a base of thousands of players would be a bit silly, wouldn't it?
very silly, i can only think of a thing sillier, like not creating a poll to actually see the real feedback, how about do that ?
True, most player base doesn't use discord and forum
Especially, there is no Chinese forum here.
How about making Chinese announcement? -
you can always pull out the "we listened to our players" and cancel this mess and unwanted merge, to make people blush at seeing that ikariam cares for their opinion
You have exact statistics about how many players do not want the merge? Or you base it only on your and some other personal opinion?
Just make resource mine upgrade shorter

Why hasn't there been an in-game announcement from GameForge about the merge? Very few people from inside the game check out the board, especially ever since the old board went away. There are a lot of people in the older worlds that have been playing Ikariam for over 12 years and have never done a merge before, and have never started another account on a newer server. There should at least be a mass in-game announcement to let everyone know. Possibly even send an email to everyone that has accounts on v-mode.
Because GameForge don't care
GameForge: We give you a plan and give you time, the rest is your problem
This is my third time merge -
I wasn't defending the length of time. I was simply stating that, as is, if you use the entire festival, you can at least get the sawmill and the luxury mine back up to max. Personally, I don't see why it couldn't be capped at 4 hours and you should be allowed to donate for the next level while it's building to chain build.
That is good ideas, but gameforge don't care
not all players can focus the entire festival
work...etc anything player can't focus on the game -

Display MoreThis merge seems like a prank... They should start the islands at level 10 or level 20 mines/mills or give significant level time reduction.
It will take over a year of time leveling to even get to the same sawmill levels(50+) I have currently on Alpha/Beta (US). To even produce enough wine to keep my population from leaving is over a week of leveling assuming I am online to level the vineyard immediately after it upgrades, not including supplying wine to other towns.
Real excited to hardly play the game for 6 months trying to get level 45 townhalls happy again on new islands...
The Pangaia servers use the EN subdomain so I will presume all of those servers will be merged too under the EN umbrella?
I dug up an old post. Here's what Festival of Worlds does.
- 1000 satisfaction in all towns.
- +2% speed for merchant ships
- Expansion time for resource mines amounts to a max. of 12 hours.
This 1000 satisfation is a joke, compared to the 6000+ citizens towns.
I assume that we will lose all the CTs, wine income will also be a joke if starting from L1, so to keep up the population in the first days will be close to impossible.
Yeah, I know for older players it's problematic. What's your build? All wine towns?
we have friends together~~
at least donation 8 billion
12 hours make no sense
Just let us have comfortable server merge
This is third time server merge... -

12 hours just way too long.....
