"..I just expressed my regret, because cheaper wood means greater consumption of ambrosia..."

Why cheaper wood means bigger greater comsumption of ambrosia?

More wood, more convertion with ambrosia you mean?

Because in case of that, can't you buy another cheap material to convert it? Like.. wine. Even cheaper

Your server has a problem with selling too high

Mines.. doesn't have people for Museum (Today. only 4 deletion and none for treaty) - badidol ..I Know! The Problem with MY server... (not everyone else)

Also I feel that way... ( I am the dog)

Badidol said

" Again, this is a "community-controlled" system.

Those price ranges exist because they work on your server...."

A "community-controlled" system is made by players. Player who are selling in high price.

The opposite can't be done? Same or more to sell in the lowest price.

The prices eventually will change.

It's a system against other system.

Good morning badidol,

Sorry to bother you.

I would like to bring an unusual situation to your attention.

Wood is being sold at extremely high prices on the markets in order to hide gold.

The minimum price for wood is more than three times that of other precious resources....

However, I believe that there are players who would like to sell or buy at lower prices.

Can you do anything about this?

Can you talk to the programmers to find a solution?

Thank you very much.

If there were, the prices would be lower.

Price ranges in the market are created dynamically based on player behaviour.

If players would consistently sell for the lowest price within the given range, the range would go down until a certain minimum.

Since they don't, it doesn't.

Nothing to do here.

OK.

True.

But let me try again to explain this to you:

if a player sees that the price of wood is 24, even if they want to buy it... they give up.

If a player wants to sell wood, at 24 he knows very well that he won't actually sell it, and he gives up.

To lower the average price and the minimum price, there would need to be a lot of offers at 24, and then, after some time, at 22? And then at 20... and so on.

It is very very long time !

BUT what if you allowed players to place an order on the market to buy wood at a free price that is not tied to the average and minimum prices?

For example, I would like to buy wood, but I give up because I would have to buy it at 24... I can't lower the price I'm willing to pay...

Marble has always been expensive and no one complained about it. Actually this is a good opportunity to make gold. Put your wood production at full blast and sell it for the highest price. Block or pillage those who are selling wood too. Attack their alts or something, and if they break the rules, do what User says and "report, report, report".

However, it would be fun if they could undo the workshop setting, bring back the forge and announce another merge. Although there are more builders than fighters, I don't think builders want to improve their troops. They are not gonna use them in the first place. Builders want to build. Fighters want to fight. When you add building features in something that don't match their profile (fighters), this becomes a headache. I don't think this is a good way to promote activity.

I may be wrong, of course, but my perception still stands. Unfortunately, we can't get everything we want. Some people get the cake and eat it, others barely get the souffle.

I would only like to buy wood at a reasonable price .....

Buying would be easier and more efficient than pillaging.

Amen ...

it's ok ...

Just a question.

To raise the price, you need at least 10 people, selling high

To lower the price, you need 11 people, selling to the opposite

Can't you make a team to lower it.. ?

No. I am not. I mirror the way in which you approach me. I am absolutely allowed to do that.

Ask anyone. If you approach me in a decent, adult manner, I can be a pretty cool guy to talk to.

You feeling offended doesn't automatically magically make an actual offense exist.

And stating facts isn't offense. The fact that those factual statements weren't exactly to your liking and didn't paint you in the best of pictures is mostly down to yourself, really. You DID display an inability (or unwillingness, which is actually even worse, to tell you the truth) to read and understand a simple statement. I merely pointed that out. Because I don't have to let you falsely present and twist what I actually said.

It's as simple as that. This isn't rude. This is factual.

The selling and buying part is for a small circle. You can sell at the same price, but noone is buying from you.

The same with Bank of Genarals. It's not open for everyone

The needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many

If it was ...

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" , then Gameforge would do something

Comics, Caricatures and all kind of strips was always a way to present reality (especially the hard and Truth one) with a sense of humor.

Lately, I was reading Asterix and it happened to see a parallelism with Ikariam and specifically the Merge event.

I was never in a server merge, but from others of what I heard is like this...

Enjoy..

Before Merge

Merging...

The Server Merge is now complete and everyone is thinking one thing..

(in colors I am giving a translation. Some are original, some are not - the ones with asterisk (*)

* Legionnaires! We are here to enforce respect for the authority of Rome!

FRIENDS, ROMANS,COUNTRYMEN, WE SHALL COVER OURSELVES WITH GLORY!

There is a Gaul at the camp gates, Centurion Sir!

Aha! Maybe they sensed that things are going to change... Open the gates!

Well.. Gaul? Came to surrender?

MEN, CATCH THAT MIDGET! WE'LL MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF HIM!

The outcome?

and the result..

* - May you have many years and great joy...

    - He forgot to blow out the candles!

* - Well? What shall we do, Centurion?

- Well, we return to camp, report the events to Julius Caesar... and wait for our replacements!

Waiting again the new Server Merge

If you don't read Asterix, now is the time!

If you find other parallelism in other (or same) Comics, share it.

For the translations with asterisk (*) I used deepl.com (no need of an account or any kind of payment)

They really don't like to get in a bag (Like Toy Story)

It's a reported bug. You need to wait some years

Quote from monomaxos L

ειναι γνωστο πλεον γιατι βγηκε αυτο το event οι αποθηκες στρατου καπουτ κυριοι και κυριες και τωρα ολοι ειναι ισοι και ας παιξουμε .

η Εταιρια βοηθησε να ξεφορτωθουν αυτους τους λογαριασμους.

Όντως σε αυτό το event, άδειασαν πολλές "τράπεζες"

Αλλά επίσης, ξεκίνησαν οι διαφημήσεις, για να τις γεμίσεις σε χρόνο dt. Μάλιστα προσφέρουν και εκτπώσεις. Δίνεις λιγότερα για να αγοράσεις περισσότερα.

Οπότε μάλλον το event, βοηθάει.. στην κατανάλωση και οχι στο άδειασμα. (της τσέπης μάλλον, αλλά από οτι είδα, δεν τους τρομάζει το πέταγμα μερικών χιλιάδων ευρώ & δολάρια)

Ξανά το Πάσχα.. ακούγεται.. (αλλά δεν επιβεβαιώνετε, αυτή τη στιγμή)

Quote from User12996

As mentioned on Discord, the General Bank change is now live. If a general bank comes out of vmode, the Black Market is disabled for 48h. Also, if an account transfers, the general bank is disabled for 48h.

While I know many people have been looking forward to this change, I was disappointed they didn't give us a warning about it so people could prepare. Either way, this will be a new phase for Ikariam.

The crow  Killjoy you both got your wish, let's see how it plays out.

A suggestion is being promoted when many people are voting positive.

They may be the architects of the idea, but the people wanted it. (and wished it)
