    Where did talk of VPN's come from? Seems like a projection from you but you'll find that the VPN users on Kreon have been punished as Aquila mentioned earlier.


    As for $$$ Ikariam is already pay to win since Ambrosia and the Shop exists and has been for many years now. Good luck removing anything that will affect Gameforge profits.

    I'm going to interject and state that I am opposed to any rule that removes the possibility of alt accounts. I myself have 9 well developed accounts on US Kreon and I can tell you that if such a rule was implemented restricting the number of accounts to one per server I'd not even bother playing on the 8 other accounts anymore.


    I would need to find 8 servers to take many of my accounts (Would have to go to EN as well) and find good island spaces for many of these accounts and deal with whatever server politics that occur x8?


    No thank you.


    You also greatly underestimate how many players have alts and in particular on US Kreon which just so happens to be the server I am playing on. I can count at least 30 players that I know of who have alts with a surprising amount having 11 accounts in the same server. If you want Kreon to start dying at an even faster pace with the removal of 100s of accounts then be my guest.


    The merge alone was responsible for what you are seeing right now. Players were forced onto less developed islands, old alliances were destroyed and some players felt the merge was a signal to finally leave after 16 years. That and the fact rules are finally being enforced on Kreon when before on Alpha we had a ton of cheaters.


    What I can say is this. If alts were banned I'd stay play on my main account but expect me to be far less active and involved in the game in the future. There would be a massive drop in money spent in Ambrosia by me which I can quite easily spend elsewhere.


    But hey maybe after alts are banned we will get another US Merge between Eurydice and Kreon or perhaps all US servers will be dissolved and merge into EN ones.

    Alright if you say so then I retract my statement


    Although if it wasn't you there was a player called 14kk on Hekabe-En with the same display language as you who had multiple alts. Is 14kk a common name for Russian players?

    Mate we remember you from Hekabe UK and how you were banned for multi abuse. The first and only such occurence on the server. Remember 22kk who founded the alliance -FT-? It's evidently you given the same account naming scheme, Russian spoken language, etc


    You were then on 27:49 and the 28:49 area operating under the account name 14kk, Aladinov, 87kk, etc. Yet again you had multiple accounts but decided to give up and ghost out of the server. It's not our fault you decided to give up when you had significant advantages over most players.


    Admit it you were outplayed and couldn't beat others who had prepared beforehand. Now you complain here acting as if you didn't do the things you are now complaining about. Better luck on the next server

    1 Ambrosia = 30000 wood if donated to a level 42+ quarry or other luxury. It's 1 Ambrosia = 40000 if the quarry is level 50+ but it's much harder to find such islands with empty spaces.


    Therefore 2,592,000,000/30,000 = 86,400 Ambrosia required


    Now if it's a happy day with an 80% bonus that is reduced further to around 40kish Ambrosia


    Still a lot but now far more realistic. If it was paid in USD/EUR it would be near $1000 which is admittedly a lot but I know players who've spend thousands on mobile games and virtual items on MMORPG's


    But what if the guy paid using Turkish Lira whilst being from a country which has a far stronger currency? Then it would be even cheaper although I can't say exactly how much cheaper as I'm not Turkish

    You can easily make these accounts if you have cash to burn.


    Simply find a high level Luxury mine and pay to donate using ambrosia. Level 42+ gives 30k wood per ambrosia and is easily found on old servers (Level 50+ gives 40k wood per ambrosia but GL finding a space on such an island). After this is done simply let the account ghost out and voila you have an account with 2.6B Donations.


    Most likely the guy used a cheap currency to achieve this although there are some who spend large amounts of money in their own currency to achieve the same effect.

    Starman is just being hysterical as usual. Given his 2 week absence from the game so far you'd expect him to spend his free time on other matters not related to Ikariam.


    Draxo himself mentioned this is not abuse but a feature. The developers at Ikariam are perfectly content with this and it's a legitimate strategy to grow your islands.


    So yes you can donate to your islands once the account enters the graveyard and you are able to rejoin the same server.


    Reading comprehension isn't your strong point is it Godfather


    I specifically mentioned hundreds of pounds in my post that you so kindly quoted. Not ÂŁ100. But ÂŁ100s of pounds. In order words yes I did spend that amount on Ikariam and once again thank you for doing some detailed calculations :)


    It's not my fault you and Starman can't comprehend spending that much money.


    In fact I spent more money on other things such as Premium Bonuses as you can see below. How did I get 5 years worth of bonuses Godfather? Going to blame bug abuse?



    I don't care what you and Starman think. Gameforge knows I bought my Lamp Oil, Premium Bonuses, Helios Towers, etc legitimately. Draxo or whoever is interested can contact billing support and see my transactions. If they want my Debit Card and proof of ID like they asked for my Donation Account then I'll happily oblige again.


    :)

    Lmao you’re the one you blamed me for the Helios bug merely because my main island had 5 years worth of Lamp Oil. Bll never mentioned my name but you did which brought me here to defend my name.


    Anyway 79:29 having years of Lamp Oil = Me bug abusing 15+ islands?


    Let me put it to you so you a simpleton can understand


    I donated to 79:29 and 79:29 alone through my account.


    I paid for 5 years of Lamp Oil on 79:29 through Gameforge and I have receipts showing that I did.


    The Helios Tower on 79:29 had 5 years of Lamp Oil months ago since the beginning of January which was when I moved there. I love how you ignored asking Patrickghost from PHNX someone who told me he knew you from those days. This was well before the Donation/Bug was reported.


    I have never donated or bug abused these Helios Towers Bll mentioned which now you are accusing me of.


    I guess you are just envious that some of us have money to burn. Go ask Lake if you want to know who is the real cheater with his dozens of multi accounts.


    Anyway I don’t care what happens. My account was never involved with these Helios Towers bar the one on 79:29 and you find yourself disappointed to learn nothing will happen.

    What are you implying Starman?


    That I bug abused Helios Towers through my account and forgot to change my name on 79:29?


    You of all people should know the Helios Tower on 79:29 was active since early January given your continuous assaults there. You can even ask Patrickghost from PHNX about it hardly a biased observer.


    And yes I did buy that Lamp Oil on 79:29 directly from Gameforge using my own Debit Card. I have proof of receipt and had to prove my ID given such large purchases. I did spend ÂŁ100s to do this along with other assorted things.


    Report me all you like I can easily prove that my Lamp Oil is legitimate. Oh and if you think my account did the Helios Bug or whatever you are truly deluded

    VNS entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to pillage everybody else and nobody was going to pillage them.

    At Eye of the Storm, Veliidae Bug, XXX-5S and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naive theory into operation.

    They sowed the wind and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.

    New Stone-3, Ice Stone 6, Sunfuric 3—Those are only just the beginning.

    We cannot send a pillaging mission to every VNS city as of yet.

    But the time will come when we can do so.


    Let VNS take good note of Ikariam's Horizon.

    There they will see a cloud as yet no bigger than a man’s hand.

    But behind that cloud lies the whole massive power of Lost.

    When the storm bursts over VNS, they will look back to the days of ST3 and Ice Stone 6 and Faith as a man caught in the blasts of a hurricane will look back to the gentle zephyrs of last summer.

    It may take a year. It may take two.

    But for VNS, the writing is on the wall.

    Let them look out for themselves. The cure is in their own hands.

    There are a lot of people who say that pillaging can never win a war.

    Well, my answer to that is that it has never been tried yet, and we shall see.

    VNS, clinging more and more desperately to its widespread conquests and even seeking foolishly for more, will make a most interesting initial experiment.

    MAFIA will provide the confirmation.

    But the time is not yet. There is a great deal of work to be done first, and let us all get down to it.


    The War Continues.
