Well all there is left to say , is call a ambulance GGE you just shot yourself in the foot once more 

I do not know if i can believe your explanation why you cant do Royal Capitals , when you can do so many other things here.
It is very much with a heavy heart that we decided to cancel the Royal Capitals. We didn't want to as we know you wanted these implemented. The Games Team deliberated over this for a long while and in the end there just wasn't a choice. Royal Capitals had to go. 
When it came to redeveloping the Royal Capitals the work quickly spiralled out of control. What was estimated as a moderate task became an epic one and it wasn't going to stop growing. Every time we fixed one piece of code two more broke. This is due to it being poorly coded in the first place. While testing the feature we just kept finding things that had to be improved. We wanted this to be great, we wanted it to work perfectly and we wanted you to enjoy it wholeheartedly. So we kept on going and going and going. No matter what we did we just couldn't seem to turn the corner on this feature and in the end we had to make a decision: Do we start from the ground up with something new or continue to put out fires with the Royal Capitals? This was discussed and the answer quickly came into focus.
We want to bring you an excellent feature for alliances. The best and quickest way to do that is to start from the ground up and work from there. Anything else would be a waste of time and resources. So the choice was clear, only one road forward existed and that was to start from scratch.
What this eventual feature will be I can only guess. What I can promise is that it will be the best that we can do for you. When will we see it? I don't know but it won't be soon. Please be patient a little while longer

And I never pointed at that at support did I?

All I want is less ads and popups, better performance and a cleaner UI.

I see alliance cities are removed.

But what about the compensation for the alliance cities. When will this be done? There are many alliances who invested a lot of resources into these cities that i'm sure they'd like to have returned back to them. 

Same with people who still have a lot of those royal coins. Will these players also be compensated or were their efforts all for nothing? Same with people who have all these boosters, what about those, they are pretty much useless now, especially since they were not removed in the update, as you can see they are still here but serves no use.

Yep I see you have removed all my ruby purchased booster items for this event and I cannot see any compensation yet.  Hopefully this is just a timing issue and its actually on its way into my inbox as we speak.

Of course it is Phil the compensation will arrive just after the flying pig formation team have performed
 you know we can always trust GGE lmao

Anyone know what the lost and found tab added to the messages tab is about? Aside from making it more frustrating to check your messages that is.

What's the point in having a forum where you can ask questions?  If you are going to read updates?


[5046492] bernhardt (US1) [US1] :: May 3, 2019, 2:47 a.m.
The point of the forums, for players, is to bitch, whine, complain and give constructive feedback on updates before the updates happen.  GGE then ignores all the feedback from the forums and test server(should something actually be released there first) and then is surprised at all the negative feedback when they do the update.  I guess the real purpose of the forums is to see how long we as players will beat our collective heads against the forum brick wall for some psychology student's Phd thesis.
[5050269] bummer (AU1) (Banned) [AU1] :: May 14, 2019, 3:57 a.m.
the point of this forum is to give the player a pacifier
here the player can complain , give feedback , ask questions or even ask for changes we would like.
GGE never takes it serious and just now and then posts a message that is more or less a reply on our posts.
As you may have noticed the last couple of days SOME new moderators and on a good working game it would be great fun, but on empire you are all the time yelled at as the responsible team to present a decent working game with inspiring updates that work for at lest most of  it just don't listen. would you like to be moderator? not even if I would get 100k rubies every week.

My idea of a roadmap:

1. Stop introducing new crap.
2. Fix existing crap. 
[5053808] bummer (AU1) (Banned) [AU1] :: May 30, 2019, 5:31 p.m.
the best road map
1 close this crap what is named empire of bugs
2 try to introduce a simple working game and the ask the player what the would like to see added.
3 take a very long time to see if the requests are possible to program with no very big complications and then take even more time to test the new feature.
4 present it to the players for an evaluation.

I think I will demolish all production buildings, I have no stone and no wood producing buildings in storm and yet my production is at 795/hour.
I don't mind as long as this stays a positive number
I am sure this is no bug, this is plain wrong programming

Not sure where to put this post.
It's a bug issue.

I spied a op which had a capture on it. When wanting to look at the spy report

@Crom Cruach

Just to make sure this is seen. We are 2 months on and no compensation package for Royal Cities has been announced. How long are we expected to be patient for? 

This package should have been launched when you removed the cities and took our royal coins.  2 months later still nothing. At what point should we expect it or should I skip to the end of the road and assume that GGS plan to ignore it and hope we all go away and forget?  If so, maybe I should simply stop all buying of rubies until such time as GGS values my custom.
