I have this exact same problem, you're supposed to get free drakkars at level 21 I believe but never happened for me, honestly it's frustrating. You should be able to move easily but nope you can't anymore smh.

Sometimes one or two drakkars appear in a late event checkpoints- particulaly Trick of the Gods.  And currently one drakkar is given in each treasure hunt (snowikings etc.).

Whether that will continue I rather doubt.  Plarium have developed a policy recently to make some items only available by way of purchase.  Drakkars may be such an item.  The drakkars which used to come through tasks and loyalty rewards have already been removed.

The situation is  this.

Players are not content to just play the game and do well.

If they find a way to cheat , they will, until stopped.

Some players abused the novice jump, so it was changed, at least for the second time.

Then secret achievements were intoduced by the owners,and again players abused the novice jumps to make new accounts, which they never intended to develop, and just blocked the pioneer tiles with them . 

There's currently a player in my kingdom blocking a pioneer tile, people like that ruin good games with their selfishness. It really is sad that we can't do the things we enjoy because some people ruined it.

You will find such tiles blocked in many kingdoms.  However it is worth keeping an eye out during KvK and (especially) Fury - eventually you will find the tile you need free in one kingdom or another and can then start looking for the next.

For some reason 256:517 seems to be the worst (leaving the Jot/Asgard ones out of account).  The small town someone created to block that one in my kingdom has a shield expiring in 2040.

Wow, they should really hire a support person to be in game to solve some of these issues.

It is plarium's way to have the players spend more money.  It seems the longer I play the less the benefits of playing. They have stopped restoring the energy for the hero and the shamans. It is a ripoff when you spend 5,000,000 units of energy and the game restores less than 50,000 units for which you have to wait an unknown amount of time to get. Its the same thing with the shamans. Ssssso, one way or another if you want to win or score points in any event in this game, plarium wants you to spend some money,

Hardly surprising that the owner of the game wants money spent - how else would the servers and staff who keep the game running be paid for?

What might be interesting is if Plarium offered a second version of the game in which a monthly fee was charged and no sales were made.

The people who come to the site to buy trophies (and spend freely to do so) would have no interest in playing the game without being able to do that so they would simply stay in the game as it is and go on with their shopping.  

Some, perhaps many, who spend modest sums might also stay in the game as it is.  Perhaps they enjoy shopping for bargains and certainly they like assuaging impatience by use of cash.  Would there be many people who enjoy the game for its own sake without need to spend money?  I am one such but possibly unusual.

But it would not, I think, cost much to try that idea.  

It would mean that Plarium would, for the first time, need to devote some time and resources to gameplay.  I suspect some of their staff might enjoy that.  With some fairly easy fixes such as translation tools and new players being allocated to all kingdoms I suspect a worthwhile game might well emerge. 

With reference to the other recent thread on Drakkars, and the cost of moving.

I cannot verrify this chat message, however a player suggested that they didn't have enough to move kingdoms as the game was asking for almost 1600. and had only less than 1000.

How am I supposed to win cvc when my opponent clan has an influence of 19 trillion and my clan influence is 64 billion. This is rediculous Plarium. You need to make this right somehow. Maybe assign me a different opponent and extend our cvc another day.
