Since new players are routed to the new server it makes it almost impossible for small coalitions to recruit enough new players to grow and and eventually compete with larger coalitions. Does this mean that the game is on it's end of life? 

Considering that there is not a way to transfer between servers for individuals or coalitions, and I am not about to start over again on a new server. It does seem like there is not a lot of life left in the game if you throw on top of this the fact that some players are now unstoppable since they have bought themselves into god like levels and there is no way for weaker players to challenge them at all, and Plarium's response to that is to create a VIP feature to give more free stuff to the god like players!  

It's like not worth playing anymore. :(

You can play on new server too hehe

Try to find someone who will merge(coalition) with you maybe..

the problem is big and is global.

If any one wants to merge with my coalition "southern tribesmen" plz contact me

remember  together we will be stronger + more fun

it is the only chance now to grow, as all new players are diverted to the new server + many of local players have switched to the new server aswell

 There really is no strategy anymore and I'm not sure there was any to begin with.... The game has lost it's luster.

Funny you should say that, we at ATHENA have been interested in a merger. We are ranked 11th in hellas with a level 20 Capital.  I have approached several coalitions in the past all ranked between 100 and 400 and have had everyone pass on the idea.

Once they removed the restriction/penalty of not having enough Grain to feed troops and then losing troops was the beginning of the end.  That has to be THE most moronic move Plarium ever made.  This has allowed coiners to build/buy endless amounts of troops unchecked.  But according to Plarium, this somehow "improves" game play.  How bloody stupid do they think we are?  On second thought, if you're spending money on this game ( a Beta that could be gone tomorrow with nothing to show for it)..... Pretty darn stupid.

Whatever happens on the old server will happen on the new server given enough time. So if your investment in the game is eventually going to be worth nothing then there is no point in spending any money.  Right now on the old server it is pointless for new players since they don't have any way to mitigate against large armies, in the real world being smart can count but in Sparta it does not matter anymore. So when normal players leave like me there won't be that much money coming in anymore, and I won't be playing on the new server, the old server, or with any Plarium games at all.
