Thread: Short lived and done with the game

  1. #1

    Default Short lived and done with the game

    After my 3rd attempt at playing the game and having fun. I've quit the game.
    The first time I played was months ago and I don't remember why I stopped at the time.

    But the 2nd time I played I was doing ok aside from the constant plundering, the lack of being able to build up any resources or any type of defense. Which made me an easy target for everyone. So I restarted the game and tried again. The same thing happened, as soon as my 7 days are up, the plundering starts and there is nothing I can do about it. My 100 troops vs their 100,000 troops makes for my defeat.

    This happens too often and makes the game no fun for me as I can't do anything. There are no penalties for these players who have hundreds of thousands of troops.

    So I reset the game again and am not going to be the constant target of some coward. I'm done with the game and won't be back in these forums.

    Cause on any server it would have been the same thing. Farm the weak despite being able to farm the NPC.

    Because even being in an alliance, it still happened. There is only a slim chance that you can teleport where you want to if you are too far from any help.

    Because there is no penalty in the game for plundering those who are serverly weaker than you, there is nothing to do and nothing you can do.

    Players should only be able to attack those who are XX amount of levels lower/higher than you. Might make things a bit boring for a few but things would catch up.

    Only until everyone comes out of BP and starts scouting and plundering everyone in sight.

    The bullies are even on the newer servers, and there is always someone who started well before you did, genius.
    But....the eternal ray of sunshine REALLY wanted to see you, so I helped brighten your day by removing the city from around you! ^.^

    Or you could always join a more established server and become part of an alliance that provides some serious protection. I belong to an alliance that has no serious threats within our area. In fact, we regularly message neighbors when someone new joins the alliance to let them know we'd appreciate them keeping an eye on the newbie. They do, and the new player gets to build up without being plundered. Sure, they might get hit once or twice, but we provide such swift retribution and such serious backup for them that nobody keeps at it. Any good alliance would do the same.

    Why don't you try giving some constructive advice instead of being an ***?

    Or maybe you could give a good reason why someone with over 500k prestige is allowed to attack someone with 50k prestige and just out of BP.

    Or maybe even give a good reason why someone who buys their city is allowed to attack someone who has built their city by working on it for weeks just to see a Coin city come and take all that they have worked for.

    Try something like that before being a smart *** again.

    (From the perspective of someone of someone w @450k prestige)
    I don't know why people keep attacking you. If you only have one city, as I'm looking for targets, chances are I'm going to ignore you because: a) I'm not going to be able to conquer your only city; b) if you do have 2 cities, as a noob, chances are neither of your cities is developed enough to be of any use to me or my alliance; and, c) there's little chance that as a new player you're going to have the resources I need to make attacking you worth my time and effort--many of the larger players have a massive hourly food defecit (like -2, -3, etc million per HOUR)--even if you've managed to amass 1 million food in your city, it ain't enough! I need the 3 mil per attack that the Lvl 5 farms give. And I'm getting ready to farm/attack L 10's, so the solution to my food defecits is to think bigger, not smaller.

    Scout around your area. Find an alliance that is located in your area (doesn't do any good to join an alliance in lower lorraine if your alliance is in thuringia). Check out the "alliance list" and click on "view" on a particular alliance. You'll see eligibility req's. Often if you don't meet those req's, the larger alliances have smaller offshoots which you might be eligible for. Having alliance members nearby and having an alliance that has strong diplomatic ties with a larger alliance will pretty much end bullying from most of the jerks in the game.

    Maybe (and I haven't done this) getting on a newer server is a good idea. I remember when I started, there were a lot of people in BP. Now, not so much.

    Finally, (really sorry about the length!) seek out sources of wisdom and follow the advice they give. Hope this helps!!
