Topic: [76597] Locked out of the capitals

[-76597] DinkiDi [None] :: Sept. 4, 2012, 12:43 p.m.
Many, many players have been waiting for 3 hours or more, uable to log into Empire. But some lucky people DID get in. Two hours ago a friend in the UK emailed me screenshots of spy information for the new capitals.

What this means is that a few lucky players have been given a MASSIVELY unfair advantage in the game when competing for a scarce resource.

I have spoken to players in Germany, Dubai, Slovenia and USa who cannot get access to the game. Clearly a huge part of the community is affected.

So a few got the access and lot were locked out. This few got the advantage of having a capital, and that is wrong.

i have played this game a long time and spent a LOT of money on it.

There should be roll back to correct this unfairness. If there is not, I will take up the issue with GGs. I pay good money. I am entitled to good customer service under German and EU law!

You are absolutely right.

[1385498] danster77 [None] :: Sept. 4, 2012, 12:50 p.m.
i still cant get on can you guys

[1385500] Baldrick (GB1) [None] :: Sept. 4, 2012, 12:50 p.m.
I think some servers are entirely down so there shouldn't be anyone on international 1 or en 1.

So I don't think anyone has an advantage here.

Yes i agree with DinkiDi it is more then unfair ! it is without conscience and it must be set right! how does a small group of players get such an advantage??

[1385507] Real Slim Shady [None] :: Sept. 4, 2012, 12:56 p.m.
en1 and international 2 both work
I have castles in there and both have capitals at 657 657.
Check them out ;)

[1385509] ironhidee [None] :: Sept. 4, 2012, 12:57 p.m.
The capitols seem to be at the co-ordinates 657 657 in every server.It's the same in India-1.

[1385510] danster77 [None] :: Sept. 4, 2012, 12:58 p.m.
i cant get into en1 how can you

[1385512] Sir Saxi [None] :: Sept. 4, 2012, 1:01 p.m.
This is a total joke! Some of us pay for the 'privliege' of playing GGE and with our money we get what....... the chance to sit back and when we finally get to log in all the Capitals are gone then an uphill challange to gain a footing!

Things need to be levelled to make an even playing field!

absolutely right! been waiting for more than 4hrs still i cant get in! grrrrrr...

This is unbeliveable, some of us are waiting for hours and wont get a capital...

You try so hard to destroy working alliances that you forgot to do your homework ggs: an bugfree or at least working update... seems to me you could not stand it any longer, that there are large groups of nice people playing together.

Well if your plan is to destroy large alliances, you succeded. NOONE is playing now, not even the huge alliances. Well done!

This is absolutely not fair - if someone gets into the game and will be able to get the Capitals before other players - it is simply a scandal! This should be corrected - which is possible !

[1385563] SilverGuard [None] :: Sept. 4, 2012, 1:39 p.m.
wow after hours of waiting i did log in: and i though that fantasywench must be lucky or cheating. 5 secs after i could log in he had the only capital i found so far.

and suprise: like in every world - i read in the forum - its placed at 657:657. dont get me wrong, the cheating was not serious, but to ggs: Well done, really.

Yeah. Her castle has always been there, right? :D

Still, not a problem, let them develop it nicely (I see it already has lv4 bakery) and then take it.

Do you think that might cause a problem in loading the game?
That happened to me......

[1385714] Dudehero999 [None] :: Sept. 4, 2012, 4:10 p.m.
Exactly the same.....
