[4846655] Herveus (AU1) [AU1] :: Oct. 13, 2017, 12:16 p.m.

So as I was not sure if I should only fill in my name into the 6th one or also recommendations I only put in my name , but this is what I have to say , so I have been playing this game for over 6 years now and overall I think the localization has become worse as in the past you used to have names that made sense and had a fitting vibe to it but at the moment that I do not find to be the case anymore as sometimes the names of something in their original language do make sense and are good, for example(not original language from my PoV)  "Flight of the Nomad Princess" , but now If I look at the German (original language from my PoV) version of it it is called "Flucht der Nomadenprinzessin" (also this deco is higher than the Keep like wtf how does that get through the gate?) , which if you translate it back into English means Escape of the nomad princess, which yeah makes sense as she is riding on the whatever it is supposed to be and Flight and escape are synonyms, but Flight also has another meaning thus it is not as clear and here I think escape would have been better. And now one that I also do dislike heavily which would be the "Khala's Pond" like come on that is the first thing a 5-year-old would say , how about instead having the name involve the Elephant like , "the *insert adjective [majestic if you are not that creative and give the Elephant a crown and some other fancy stuff] Elephant of Khala", would not be that much better but an improvement in my opinion, now the older ones  like the "Lions Pride" etc. they are great , now another Example, "Royal Pavillon" in English is called "Könispavillion" in German while yes the translation is correct I think that most native speakers would agree that Pavillion des Königs would have been certainly better. Now 1 more example, "nature goddess" decoration, while yeah it is decent surely she sits on a ****ing throne and so why not involve that in the name, the German translation "Naturgöttin" is also google translation level? Now onto 2 more translations which suck in German , the "Falkneraußenposten" and "Meditationsgarten" those are google translation level like "Königspavillion" could have been rewritten easily into "Außenposten des Falkners" and "Garten der  (insert adjective if you want to be fancier) Meditation". So yes I think there is a lot of minor improvements that can be made. Also if you think they were excellent in the past you are wrong in my opinion while yes there were a lot less "bad names" from my PoV there also were bad ones like these 2

Wrath of the Kraken|Thron Skull | Dragon Head 
like the storyline behind getting them back then was pretty good (old thorn king was Thorn Skull, and Dragon Head was obtained in the event called icey siege which took place somwhere between the end of 2011 and march 2012, Wrath of the Kraken on the left is good in my opinion) , so I think some adjective like Skull of the *adjective* thorn King or Head of the *adjective* Dragon.

Fun Fact: Most of the time for this post I spent on remembering the account where those decos are next to each other lol

Edit : Dragon head came throm an event called Icy Siege which took place in Novemeber 2011 and was the first iteration if the renegade spy event just after the outers kingdoms such as everwinter glacier were introduced however that renegady spy event was similar to the thorn king as it involved barbarian towers , "fog or war" and if I interpret my screenshots corretcly a barabarian fortress at the end

I have tried to do survey twice now and keep getting first byte timeout error ! hope it's been recorded as would like a chance of some goodies!

[4849249] David Noble (US1) [None] :: Oct. 18, 2017, 2:41 a.m.

Why is this survey not specific about the prizes and how to get them? I also took the survey, but is the decoration and 20k rubies too good to be true meaning that not just anyone who takes the quick survey can get these prizes? Do you have to do more than answer just one quick survey to even get the decoration and rubies? While at least some of us might be getting these prizes I do not know where to find the raffle prizes or when I will be getting them. Also not certain if you have to get them by email or on Goodgame Empire. Also, I think that I forgot to put in my username and server on question 6 and I don't really want to sign up for another survey.

you can try doing survey in incognito mode because that works if you messed up the first time but if you can't get onto incognito mode in your web browser then use translate to do survey in different language because that also works.
