MOE decides to merge realms again, ok, but what does this mean for any players new and old, I’ll tell you. Follow along as this is not for any purpose other than to warn you what awaits if deciding to start playing or continue playing. This game is about profits, period. With a merge comes more powerful alliances, ok, but what happens with these alliances is that they have smaller alliances they keep as farms, farms generate resources to help larger castles grow. GL has often stated they don’t approve of the use of bots and unfair play. Farms are in fact unfair play. What happens is a castle owner creates multiple accounts for multiple castles. Often times the name will be the same, perhaps spelled differently or special characters to keep the name similar to the owner’s main castle. Many players have a second castle but it usually resides in the same alliance. But farm alliances rarely house full number of players, when a threat is made to these alliances, the main castles return to defend. If you’re trying to decide whether this game is worth it, consider what I’ve just shared, it’s all to real, GL has done little to maintain fair game practices, they often ask you for SS or Videos to prove a players concern. Seriously, if you plan to play, be ready to provide documentation of unfair acts. Even then GL will dismiss, then reply with what seems sincere, then close out your concern without resolution. I’ve lost interest. If I want to be lied to or taken advantage of, there are enough people in this world that can provide that type of behavior. What happens during a merge, a tremendous amount of dead castles, loss of players, all for developer profits.
