Topic: [288214] War of the realms is far too frequent

Hi community


This is directed at GGE


Ok GGE, you need to stop battering us with WOTR as often as you do. Its frankly very boring, and every time it appears most of my team sigh out of boredom.

Wotr means one thing...defence recruitment

This is a war game, people are having to plan wars around this event.....not good

soooo many times we have been organising an attack or war and then this thing appears and usually postpones or sometimes prevents it

and lets face it that's what this game is about , not battleing make believe AI pretending to be real people

If a team wants to properly attack another, they need to raise multiple attacks, that is very difficult during WOTR due to repeated need for defenders. So the option becomes wait until its over (and maybe lose enthusiasm for that battle) or put together what you can with what recruitment slots you have available


I have a busy life and I don't have time to revolve my life around the game, I want to be able to plan offensives or wars, and initiate, not wait  while we have to deal with pointless make believe attacks. Seriously guys you are ruining the game with this, which is a shame as many of the recent changes added have been quite good, but they are in effect pointless due to WOTR getting in the way.


The only players who like it are kids who don't buy ruby anyway, most adults I have spoken to cant stand it, and they after all are your main revenue stream...I would listen to what I say here, as if you don't you will lose (and are already losing) players, not out of anger or protest, but boredom, and frustration.

WOTR, boring?!?! this is one of the better events in the game right now. you can get big glory and good troops without causing a war. yah you get hit but only once(at least I’ve only been hit once each wotr) and you can always open your gate.

1- you dont have time to handle WOTR, which sends 1 attack per castle at most, some people dont get hit... but you want to get into a real war with real people who can attack however often they want, and on whatever schedule? not just this 1 time every other week thing?

2- just because the small selection of adults you asked dont like it does not mean everyone doesnt. GGE has millions of people across its servers, so they need a REALLY large statement of some kind to show that a large crowd REALLY doesnt like it, they need more then the occasional thread saying "our small group doesnt like it, change it for us no matter what the masses say"

yes, its likely a large group doesnt like it, but most people are able to stand it, tolerate it. this is all GGE needs. unless people are speaking out often, en mass, with a force of some kind, GGE wont do anything

Seriously mate, im in a lv50, 52 member alliance in the top 20 of the UK server, ive been in plenty big wars..i think you misunderstand my point, its actually the recruiting of defenders that WOTR causes, I have wars I wish to fight but because this stupid event happens every other week it gets in the way...pretty simple really,

and I know many people on the UK server...most in fact that cant stand WOTR, its just a tool cleaner with a few bells and whistles on it


[4170063] Emporer Hagi (GB1) [None] :: Oct. 22, 2015, 11:29 a.m.

of course I could spend more ruby on recruit slots....but that is kind of why the event takes place, its fairly clear its just a money generator

i quite like wotr but i have to say it dose come around way to often and half the time i dont have the troops to have a good go at it. its begining to be a bit of a pain really. it would be good to have this event less often

[4260105] flug (NL1) [NL1] :: Jan. 17, 2016, 5:18 p.m.
wotr is good:)

for the rubie players so they can grow faster and faster, so the distance between them en the rest grows bigger an bigger without war. :)

and yes, it is getting boring everytime the same with a different name.

I really agree with topic starter...
I was about to start my own topic, but stumbled across this topic.

Please add an option to exclude playing Foreigner Event, make it player choice - even with receiving the rewards or not. I can't continue playing this game if I'm forced to participate in events that can cause mayhem which will end up on your "support" plate (eg: free soldiers cause desertion without being the fault of the player, and you cant leave the game for a day or two without asking some else to login for you to defend)

In short, GGS forces us to break the rules, and take away any control we have over our own game. Or are you gonna force us to buy doves (which wont help of course, free soldiers causes big time problems)?

Time to rethink this event, and make it user friendly.

Well war means rubies which means money. It's a win-win situation...for GGS.

don't worry Alliance Tournament is around the corner. You can expect monsters at your castle doorstep without having a war.

  Stop being selfish and think outside your own point of view.WOTR means glory,if you have much glory you get a lot of rewards,better troops,powerpoints etc.
  If WOTR would stop being weekly the glory hunters will look elsewere,they will look for you.After that, you will all ask for it to come back.

i actually think that all the events happen to frequent, instead on making them every 4 days they should make them every 2 weeks and leave time for real attacks and some real action like the game used to be, you turned it in to event playing and spaming of same equipment ...

also we would like the possibility to have the Defender of the Realm decoration (maybe forgeiners should have a shop?)

[4261429] vampire empire (GB1) [None] :: Jan. 18, 2016, 3:51 p.m.
you can just not take part in it.

You mean a THIRD nomad event?

Um way wrong.

WotR isn't fun, the rewards are pretty poor compared to nomads (cept for the 700 horrors and the equip, though rarely does a non-buyer like me get the equip).


I'd rather play nomads.

this is a player v player game, this is what it should be like...
