Well, I've been playing since May 2015, and it's been fun but the game's gone badly downhill in my opinion, especially in the past few months.
I wasn't too pleased that Plarium stopped the mega-payouts from the BGs. They used to be a nice way to get ahead, and I had just started to figure them out when Plarium turned them into just another bottomless pit to throw one's troops for negative-sum returns. Ok, so I stopped doing BGs, and even the Heroes aren't enough to entice me back to them, but that's not the end of the game.
What really killed it for me though is that the game crashes constantly now since the last big round of changes that came along with the Heroes. Stormfall is near-unplayable now, and far from being fun. I've scaled back to maintenance mode. I'm already using Chrome, and it's been less problematic with Stormfall than Firefox or IE, but even Chrome can't save the game for me now.
Even something as simple as running resource raids is painful, and doing something time-sensitive like actually battling other players is downright suicidal. Trying to read, let alone reply to email is an exercise in rage, and chat isn't much better. The chat and email widgets were some of the weaker links in the game before but now it's at a point where I have to compose even the most trivial message in Notepad then paste it into the game so I don't have to recompose it over and over again. After trying to do or say something 2 or 3 times and having the game lock up each time, my attention tends to wander while I'm waiting for the next reload to other more rewarding things, like poking myself in the eye with a sharp stick.
For me at least, if Plarium doesn't fix Stormfall's progressively more abysmal browser-crashing performance, no amount of nifty new features are going to matter at all.
Ready to check out,
