I remember the offer to participate in "beta-testing". Apparently, not too many players volunteered to be palatalized for 2000 drachmas. And then Plarium forced the "improvement" upon those who did not agree.
Is Plarium considering any compensation?
Hello Archon,
Plarium didn't force the unregistered community to become a tester .. well.. that's not the right word. 1000 players have been moved to the new engine to find more bugs and increase the load.
For you this means that you will not play as you wish, but for the devs it means that they will be able to continue to develop this project and as quickly as possible.
Know that the devs don't make Sparta a hard game play for pleasure.
I can't promise you anything for a thank you gift but I will point out that it is ok to give reasonable compensation.
hahaha that is a total joke. what would that gift be Bill 1000 drachma. this game is a joke and the way it is run is even more of a joke!!! just plarium forcing things on people. a lot like pp and the rewards and the advise given to players.
"Moved" without their consent. How is not that forcing?Hello Archon,

I think they should put your account in the beta server ROFLhahaha that is a total joke. what would that gift be Bill 1000 drachma. this game is a joke and the way it is run is even more of a joke!!! just plarium forcing things on people. a lot like pp and the rewards and the advise given to players.
if you don't care at all why even comment back. why not just keep the page blank so plarium can laugh at us a little more

Once I was invited by Harvard Medical School to take part in the sleep research experiments: $10,000 for 72 hours. When I read the conditions, I refused, because that included some indicator in a-holes and hours of "sleep" on the 30 degrees slope. You are doing almost the same with us, but without any compensation. That is the Plarium wayHello Archon,

For those that having lag issues with the new engine: disable the Flash Plugin in your browser for the Sparta page and general performance should increase. We have indicated it in this thread.

I will be very happy to take part and help develop the new engine. The various problems are only transient. In addition some of them have been solved, especially that concerning the lack of memory.
By passing all the bugs to the devs, you are helping a lot with the completion of this project.
See the good side, you will be the first on this new engine. And it will work.
Hey that's a great idea but you forget a major problem. I also play pirates on plarium which is NOT effected by this issue. So are you saying because you forced me into testing that I have to turn my flash on and off every time I try to login? I will reiterate my request to be put back on the old version. If its not possible then perhaps I have the last option which is to quit plarium period and block it from my browser totally.For those that having lag issues with the new engine: disable the Flash Plugin in your browser for the Sparta page and general performance should increase.

This is also not "forcing" you into the beta test, this is the first step in the process of porting the game to a new engine. As you well know, soon Flash won't be supported by most browsers. New engine offers a long-term stable solution as well as more option for our developers to introduce new features into the game in the future.

when somebody didn't gave their consent it "forcing " them indifferently of what youre reasons where ..
Adobe will stop supporting its Flash Player browser plug-in by the end of 2020, the company announced today.
By the "end of 2020," Flash will be gone from all supported Windows versions and "users will no longer have any ability to enable or run Flash
However, in "early 2020," Flash will be removed from consumer Firefox versions, although an "extended support release" Firefox version will support Flash until the end of the year.
Google already supports HTML5 by default in its Chrome browser, but it also has a phase-out plan for Flash use. Users will be asked permission to run it. Later, Flash will be disabled by default. Flash will be removed completely "toward the end of 2020."
this it's not soon...

it's over two years from now .. and don't think any professionalist coder will take so much time to make an new engine to work ..
Also an question for ether it's why didn't the admins implemented first on their private server to play it them and the plarium employees and are "forcing" players to do that ???
Yes, but why should it be my time? It's been about week I have this nightmare - And it is only getting worse. And you are telling that you cannot guarantee any compensation. We are losing time, under-develop res and troops - only because plarium has been cultivating the "customer is always wrong" mentality.Skulder said:

Setting a compensation will be proportional to the problems encountered.

Who and how determines "problems encountered"? You have no idea what my direct and indirect loses are, do you,Bill? Most importantly, nobody gives an answer as to why did plarium force 1000 or whatever the real number is players to suffer? Why couldn't you stay with volunteers?sparta56560 said:

You have already been given an answer. We are starting to implement the engine on a wider scale, this is not a voluntary situation and in the very near future every player will have the updated version. If you believe technical issues caused losses then you are free to contact our Support with the details:
