Hey guys,
I really don't see what the problem is here. This goal is GLOBAL, remember that. Everyone across all servers.
The number is more than achievable, it might seem large but it's actually not that extreme. It's a challenge, of course, it's supposed to be, but it's nowhere near impossible. In fact, looking at the flow of Glory from every server on a daily basis, we reckon that you'll make it to the first stage during the weekend.
Regards,
Steve.

Thats the whole point steve, it needs to be achievable, measurable AND Visible. you may be able to see the flow of glory but no one outside GGE can, there needs to a be a real time total on every server so PLAYERS can see it.
has no one in GGE ever been on any sort of management training course? its 1st day stuff on goal setting.
Why on earth do you think all your other competitions have real time totals on them, yes so players can see where there efforts are going, to see where they are in relation to the target.
You may as well be telling players the total is 10000000 billion for all the difference it makes to them, players are TOTALLY isolated from this number they have NO clue if its achievable or not. the total is meaningless to them. Now if you had a real time running total in the corner of your screen then you could tell straight away if it was achievable.

Understandable @Philt123 (GB1) and it's something that we could do in the future. We will however, be giving you updates on the milestones via our Facebook page. Apologies to those that don't use Facebook, but you don't even have to be registered. Just visit our page and we'll keep you up to date here and there.
Overall, the event is meant to be a bit of fun and a way to get our global communities working together to achieve one goal. There are some really sweet prizes (that I'll try and confirm for you and post up here), including a super cool Gold milestone reward that you can only get through this event.
Your feedback is much appreciated! This is something that we're trying for the first time, and any ideas on how to make a global event like this better in the future would be very much welcome!
Regards,
Steve.

@CM Arcanine GoodGame Studios seem to live in the future . Seems like your trying everything for the first time.
How hard is it to show a winning total You manage to get other players from other servers to spam ours chats.
How often is facebook being updated?
once it Hits 5 GMT is that it ... we dont know where scores until the next day ? Another badly thought out update if thats the case

@UltraFlavoured (GB1)
We just simply don't have the system in place to do that right now. Believe me, we'd love to be able to show you the Glory as you gain it, but as mentioned, it's just not possible right now.
We will keep you up to date on Facebook as much as we can. With the easter break coming up though, we may only be able to check in and post the milestone achievements (if you guys reach Bronze or Silver over the weekend, of course!).

Steve.

I think you are right, too with all these problems in the system connecting all the servers like this would only cause more.... but you should have thought about this from before. I think its obvious that everyone will want to see how we are doing and if its just a waste of time/money to try and do it !

I'm sure you could have had a pts total per server so we could see what we are doing.....total could have been added here by each server .....one of our maths teachers could have done the adding .....Oh we have a total for all servers ...that was hard notCM Arcanine said:@UltraFlavoured (GB1)

@CM Arcanine I am really struggling to find positive comments of late. Normally a positive person.
Surely this should of been thought about and worked into a 'live feed' Somewhere. Its not like it does not exist in other games /website so its not a new thing just a bit of coding.
Although we all appreciate Facebook being updated its not really a suitable way to showing the data taken.
Means for a good amount of hours per day no one has a clue where they are. Unless of course data shows more rubies are spent 'out of office hours' so your gambling on players fighting over the unknown to try and become the best for the next day.
I sincerely hope that there a department at GoodGame Studios that functions correctly and other are improving because everything seems like its run at a school level by where I mean they got away with the mistakes because they only X years old.
Can not wait for support to respond so I can either leave and get just correctly compensated.

Could this 'event' be yet another pointer towards the fact that the developers are 'busy' on something else, and this method allows it to be 'organised' by Steve and the rest of the 'support' crew ?

We're simply asking for clarification of the rewards and milestone markers.
All you've simply done is said "Hey, spend hundreds of pounds on tools and troops attacking each other, and we'll give something nice to the top participants."
You've run out of ideas for events that now all you are doing is simply making a vague statement and expect us to get excited and hand over cash.
After everything GGE has done recently, how are we to trust you to reward players accordingly? Even when we have milestone markers, rewards are still withheld in some cases.
My response to the Battle of Empires event: "I'll skip this one, Thank you."
P.S. By 'You', I mean the collective 'you'. Not you in particular, Steve.

i went to the facebook page and see no counter showing where we stand. nor do i see any list of prizes. just an announcement that there is an event. guess we don't get any info at all about the event except that there is an event. this will work out better for GGS. this way we don't know which prizes we are NOT getting from any GGS screw up.

Hehe, you didn't even give a link. This is stupid GGS, nobody in the UK server is taking this as seriously as you want us to, no live feed to how much glory we get, are you serious?! We don't know how much to push or how close we are to the milestones, this was a poorly thought out event, it sounds like a thing a 10-year old would think up for a competition. Not even a gazebo in front of our castles just a 60(ish) word message.
