Plarium has started deleting city names and replacing them with General # XXXXXXX. For those of us who have 100s of sieges and farms this is extremely disruptive. I have learned the names of my sieges over a period of 2-3 years. Now they all have the same name.
This change suxxx
Just warning you that you are messing with stuff that will cause long term players like me to quit.
the general is the city name and if he is in webgl he doesn't see the name of player, only the city name, something we have been complaining along this year.... not sure if they will bother repairing after this news? https://plarium.com/forum/en/sparta-war-of-empires/news-and-announcements/119983_important--sparta-war-of-empires-is-going-back-to-flash/?post=545596
edit: ok i see what you mean, forget what i said:
This explanation is bogus. Plarium could simply add a suffix like (*) to the name indicating that it has been inactive for a long time so players still could identify their sieges by the original names.
There is no information protected by GDPR in the names of the cities/generals. Deleting the personal data associated with the account owner doesn't mandate deletion of a fictional city name.
A city being sieged and raided 10 times a week is not really inactive. It's an integral part of the game for the players who fight over it. Deleting the names of these cities is really disruptive.
Hello, Archons!
The accounts are deleted according to certain criteria due to the GDPR Policy. This is not a bug. The topic will be closed.
