  • What Server Merge Settings Would You Like To See?

    id like for them to spend half as much time improving game mechanics instead of coming up with some half baked settings changes that dont even make sense and will do absolutely nothing to improve the game. the best setting option is 4 by far. and you know what it does? it makes you buy ambrosia to convert a bunch of wood and sulphur to something usable.


    What does it do for trade? So before it took you 17 days to buy something on the other side of them map, and then oh wait..17 days back.. its SO dumb. shipts that you can barely afford are tied up for a month to gather enought supplies to build one big building. its not even realistic timings.


    what does it do to improve player count? nothing.. except worse, multiples of split of servers, no chance at more CTs. put everyone on the same serves and be done with it. a few instances to prevent ip crossing.


    what does it do for alliances? nothing.. except worse, it splits them because not everyone wants the same rules


    what does it do for making the experience better for the user? Nothing.. so what you made wood faster. still cant get enough marble to cover the shorter build times.


    what does it do for end game? nothing. no extra levels, no gold increase, no gold pillaging... still stupid pirate game in a game that gives bots farms and clones an unfair advantage.


    NOTHING about this stupid "merger" makes the game more fun. its a bunch of setting changes to make it appear like GF is "doing something" and mean while they havent actually done anything. Its not even a merger. its a settings change.


    Negative 5 stars ikariam. do something that actually matters.

  • As A paying player. dont close my threads

    I dont give *** if you dont like my opinion. you might be ok with censorship. I am not. I wasnt done talking.


    Go ahead, see how many people that actually give financially to this platform that you can run off. I assure you, they are far fewer than you think,

    Merging is absolutely ridiculous. Especially when game mechanics are broken. I paid a very significant amount of money to be able to move my town to the central island (and to make the former occupier leave it) after playing this game for 15 years. What is Game Forge going to do to make sure I get my central spot back? Are you going to fix map-warp so it doesnt take 50 days to get from one side of the map to the other? 25% trade ship increase doesnt fix it. You need to put everyone on one server and be done with it. maybe a "normal" server and a "fast" server and that's it. I paid good money for ambrosia and Im happy to spend my $30 bucks every couple of months somewhere else.


    Alpha needs to stay alpha. period.

    What happened last time was that towns moved to their same coordinates or if a clash, as near as possible to the same islands. It might not be the same this time, but I'd guess it's a strong chance you will be pretty close to where you are now. I have no idea how they prioritise accounts, though.

    being close and being at the very center are two different things. it wouldnt be a problem if they would fix the stupid timings. taking weeks to go 12 islands a way is ridiculous. 25 percent of weeks is still weeks. They need to stop merging. period. Just stop making new servers and put everyone in the same already existing servers. they are accomplishing nothing by merging.
