Whether you're still playing the game or not, what are some things Goodgame Studios could change to recapture your interest?

Try to be succinct and specific.

By changing up the main events. Having BCs, Nomads, FLs, Nomads, BCs, Nomads, FLs, ect and once a month bringing Samis, is very boring. Bring Samis back into the normal rotation. 

Also having 4 offers taking up the middle of your screen is a horrible setup. They could easily have them across the bottom or on the right hand side of the screen, but instead they have them in the middle.

When it comes to outers, GGE needs to stop spending so much time on them. No one likes them, we just half do them for the upgrades.

Make a custom map, this is the LOTR map and it could use as an example, so make a Dark and Good side, let them fight for something, like a capital, include all servers but make divisions like lvl 401-600 division, 601-800 division etc.
And dont make the accounts there start from the scratch, make them start from their current progress on the main server.
Try giving interesting names to the places, and make much of them just because of the look and feeling, dont be afraid to put some work in a project as u haven't for a longer time

What makes Outer Realms annoying is having to start from scratch every single time. We don't like leveling up NPC towers in our main realm, why would it be any different in Outer Realms. Having to level up from Lv1 is a major pain and something I would never do if it wasn't for the relic building material. I understand that doing it this way makes GGE a lot more money, however it in turn will also decrease the accumulation of new players and drastically decrease the interest of current players as people that don't like doing Outer Realms fall behind in relic construction.

Simply put, GGE needs to reconstruct the Outer Realms event to something that doesn't require us to build from Lv1 all over again as well as making it more engaging and DIFFERENT from our main server. Creating an Outer Realms to do the exact same things that we do in our main server is simply a waste of time for a lot of players. 

Beyond the Horizon is an example of GGE attempting to try something new. However, why would you make the capital holder limited to the person who enters the server first? We have lots of example of a newbie entering first then sitting and doing nothing the whole event. This limits our chances of gaining any rewards what so ever due to the high cap of top1000 alliances for the rewards. Of course, in this instance someone might say "Why not make sure that someone who will be active enters first?" but this is simply not possible for weaker alliances who constantly have to recruit new players and don't have as much organization inside there alliance. In a case of a bigger alliance with capable players, the chances of a strong active player entering first is very likely and will be able to put together a stronger defense. In cases like this, it is only making the strong, stronger and separating the strength difference between mid-tier/low-tier alliances and the top tier alliances.

1. Commanders and Castellans swappable as a set, instead of having to move a piece at a time
2. LTPE needs more variety in Event rotation. 
3. Cross-Server events that use your actual account.
4. Special Offers in a Store, not stacked on screen.
5. Documentation on Event rules.
6. Final standings for Events posted in game. (Individual and Alliance scores)

Not in order of importance, just how they tumbled out of my brain.........

How to recapture an outpost:

1. Send attacks on the target until all defense is gone
2. Capture
3. Stack defense on target for 24 hours.

Should be easy to implement for people.

It would be a first thing when GGE starts listen to the players.

- Stop with those popups completly.
- Stop that new spamming the inbox with "special offers" that are not so special.
- Give us back the event schedule.
- Asap a solution for those "white fields" across, and all over,  the screen after a lot of movement.
- More realistic numbers of defence on Bloodcrows and Outlanders castles!!!
- Change back the prices in the Outer realms.
- Give us the Blade coast, Underworld and King of Thorns every month.
- Change that ugly "Big Event" part in the performance part of the game, this event is gone for more than two years now.
- More, lots more, of Primte Time offers of 200-250%
- Give more prices, at least two commanders or castellans and everything else of the small prices that was possible to obtain with 15000 LTPE points. (These days there is a reduction of around at least 50%) But keep those tokens and being able tot chose for yourself.
- Gives us The Berimond Invasion back.
- Asap start rotating those old event commanders along the prices by the  apprentice blacksmith, it took long enough.

Most points of this list are posted over and over, would you think it's would help asking the same question again?

Still: Thanks for your videos on YT! It helped me a lot when starting playing GGE. 

[5092756] organza (US1) [US1] :: Jan. 2, 2020, 12:40 p.m.

Lots of good suggestions.  I'll add one more:

Make it easier and less time consuming to sell off equipment and gems.  Maybe somehow offer a full inventory list.  On the list, players could select items to sell then do it with one click.

[5092760] Masked Avenger (NL1) [NL1] :: Jan. 2, 2020, 12:56 p.m.

make ALL commanders and castelans available as set AND per piece in the store. Not just some.

[5092761] Herveus (AU1) [AU1] :: Jan. 2, 2020, 1:04 p.m.

Make loot & honour acctualy relevant and acctualy enforce the ToS so I know it is a fair competition and not a big cheat show

[5092795] dliu3 (US1) [US1] :: Jan. 2, 2020, 4:31 p.m.

How about making capitals useful? I know most people who own them don't even use the function they were provided for but instead just use them to house more troops.

[5096311] neonoctopus123 (US1) [US1] :: Jan. 22, 2020, 11:11 p.m.

They should bring back the underworld and other events like that!

[5096335] hionmentho (US1) [US1] :: Jan. 23, 2020, 3:54 a.m.

Well they could do anything to refocus the game on building an actual empire, instead of just building pretty castles and making people hit npcs that dont fight back.

Make ruby deals great again! (if they were better, I would have more incentive to buy rubies to spend on these deals)

[5096929] bernhardt (US1) [US1] :: Jan. 27, 2020, 6:43 a.m.

@dliu3 (US1)  Deals?  What you talkin' about Willis? 

There certainly have never been any 'deals' for the player.  It's always been a ripoff for the player, only now even more so.  Near as I can tell the GGE pricing motto now is that of a drug dealer putting the squeeze on his addicted customers...

[5096930] MaxMaxon (US1) [US1] :: Jan. 27, 2020, 7:31 a.m.

How about cracking down on multi-accounting? And getting my inbox spammed with offers is annoying. 

[5096937] Mikeshot2 (GB1) [GB1] :: Jan. 27, 2020, 10:21 a.m.

Set a price list per server, where all pay the same price, regardless of whatever country they log in from or via. 

Sat up a server International, at a price matching the lowest price available for all. 

Or just remove the mains plug on all servers - Happy days

Golemi is still not on 2k day bird, even after I gave CONCLUSIVE proof of multiaccounting.

Hi Breor, nice to hear you here and good question really, there is a lot to write about this.

I will start with things that are really important for me and I believe for all players so that they can keep their interests in game even more and that can provide new players more fun and interest too to keep them going.

Here is the list:

1. Lets start with GG listening more their community (players) and their feedbacks on events, updates etc. becouse the players especially experianced ones should have more respect and their comments should have more impact, without players its nothing

2. Next thing is GG should bring back one of the old types of announcements to players, to write their plans, waht they are working on like before they used to, to announce events like before, updates (possible updates) no matter they implement them or not but I liked when they used to do that. Chagnes to the game etc are really important thing and GGS need to prpare their players for something before that happen like they removed royal capital event so brutally but im sure that players are totally mad about that, at least 70% of community didnt want that to be removed event without new update and rework ppl want that event ! Next thing is thorn king, blade coast and underworld that are removed so cold just like that and nobody knew, i bet too that 70% players want that back, especially ones that didnt finish the achievement points !!! After all im sure even the players that finished all points want those events back for some reasons, GG dont even need to do big rework on them but just bring them back for God sake !!! In general GGS should not remove events, make big changes (like changes abt new shopping system etc) without players knowing that !!!

3. Make more option and chances for non ruby buyers and occasional ruby buyers to compete or nerf some offers and nerf some thigns in the game for whales and big buyers so there is more balance in the game, it is really such an important thing. Lot of players quit for that and loose interest and now especially with this new ruby buying system GG really destroyed that section. Bring back old way of buying including rubies and 3 offers, that was OK but one good thing in new system is personal offer of booster that are coming in private messages where u can buy booster for rubies, it is positive thing and good thing for non ruby busers bcs they can buy booster for rubies they collect in the game, make that happen, bring back old system and implement some new things and positive things from this new update and change and its perfect !!!

4. Now I will write about events and tiny details after I wrote about bigger and much wider problems above. Now I want to adress problems on events one by one. I will start with glory events where we get ugly events 2 months with 500 troops per castle and really everybody are mad about that like we are sheeps that some shepard is testing for some reason. Let us at least get random server every time and thatst it like before we used to. Now u control it and 80% times we get disaster event, I mean which level 800 legendary is happy getting those ugly events ? Where is fun and where is the effect of surprise when u play, spy targets , get targets and get excited !??? Give us 50/50% at least or make it random again, and of course bring back option for foreigns and crows to attack us even more then before !!! 
About nomads and samurai i will just say bring back more skips as a reward bcs u at GG set big big standard to reach rewards but with what to achieve that ? 200 skips per week is so sad to get when u want to make 150k points on sam nom and do u remmeber there is storm island, there are buildings to build and skip, burnings etc. really !? Give ppl more skips to play even more and better, easier for God sake !!! Now u crossed the line with new offer, lol 1 skip 500 rubies, that is madness !!!
Make Bermond great again ! Rework it like before its so simple and let us have fun there like we used to, bring back old rules and let capital be possible to crach and burn, make less demands there ! And after all bring back the event u stole from us, Beri in green !!!

5. Events like outer realms and horizon need big rework and make it more playable, easier bcs that gap between big buyers and normal plyer that want to have some fun are really huge. I understand concept and everyting, there are positive things but we need some changes there too, dont know what exactly im not an expert but something needs to change in system. And one important thing, make it possible to transfer our goods like gold, and skips from those events like we get rubies !!!
We dont need res and troops etc but we need skips and when we buy offer there we used to get hundreds of skips that we loose in the end. Forget about wood stone, troops, coins, skips are important cause we play for that, we buy them or get them through the game and in the end we lost them, its robbery !

The forlast thing is please make something new with capitals becouse its ok for individual atm that gives him chance to recruit, store unites, res etc and have might points but special benefits for alliance are funny cause everyone today can have easily scouts and sentinels. Here is some example u can give benefit like making relic troops cost less 80% in kingdoms where alliance have capital. Metros are ok, RT´s are ok. Or even u can introduce new special building on the map and restricting the ones that already posses lots of metros caps and rts to have less of course so that would be fair and that would give a chance others to get some special buildings for change, it would be fantastic change and maybe the one that would bring back a lot of players !!!  One more thing is give some special rewards for TOP 3 on loot rankings and that would be all.

Those are the things that if changed would keep my interes, maybe there is more but in short lines thats it for now.
