Only "fair" when the server is up.  When server goes down for hours and eliminates the time players have to play, we get knocked back to zero.  The game may be 24/7, but I have this thing called a "life" that demands I do things other than Stormfall.  

Other than the fact server outages are a fairly "new" thing, this has nothing to do with the original topic.  Amazing how fast the convo got sidetracked.

I agree that some players have only a few-hours window to log in and claim their reward. And when the game is down during this time, they lose their progress. In such cases our players can contact Support Team and ask them to restore the progress.

Lord Dworka777,

I have to disagree. You're entitled to post your opinion but that attitude isn't based on actual policies. 

I'm playing Stormfall for five years now and so far I haven't payed for anything.

There are a lot of tactics how non-paying players can develop. There is always a choice how can you pay for your faster development and that has its price.   

Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and feelings without have to be wrong. I'm inclined to support Dworka. Even being a very small time coiner. (less than 10 usd on average a month, I only spend to keep my Paragon up). Such thing as the booster you can get by only spend cash, or skethces you can't earn from tournaments or events justs skew the balance to much over on the p2w aspect.

Not everyone like you Nemenja who love to bring a slighshot to a gunfight -)

Lord Drogar61,

I'm playing this game purely for pleasure. I was marshal of three leagues on S1. I was lvl 80 there. Then I had to stop playing it for a year or so due to my work in different countries and since year ago I'm playing it again and now I'm lvl 81.

Yes 3 months off daily log on is a BIG thing in my book and the reward is poor, If I log in every day and keep up with all what is going on I'm probably guilty of spending a little more than what I would usually do on Sapphires, The 3 month reward needs a kick and I mean a kick, We all like a target on and off the field.

I just got to come on everyday to catacomb troops.

The day when events become worth doing then they come out. :)

I like a community of players, Plarium dont!

Thats true without the bot raids we all cant develope and training troops, without this events like warfare are useless cos only the leagues where the players spend money on the game can play them. But this players are most time in the same leagues or in allied leagues.

If all this players lose the possibilities to find enemies for such events or wars/challenges the game start to get bored and more players will leave it if they spend money or not.

And the current alliances will broke earlier or later and if they all fight against they all lose more than they gain and nobody carry that cost for long.

And to play the masses on events is without troops not possible. If you gain 7.5k in gold and iron you cant discover lost arts and train units. And nobody is forced to spend more and more that we can play similar stuff like the events Plarium offered for us.

Lies, you can progress to train units, discover arts and so forth without raid bots. Farming bots was never an intended part of the game. Would you still played the game if there was no bots to farm to start with? Use your spiers, find targets, raid them, save up resources, build and research your stuff. 

I have troops but i cant replace that fast what i would lose and what i get in raids if i raid bots or player castles would take 2 months maybe 3 to get this back what i lost but for this i must stop to train 1 day cos i still have lost arts i must discover to make my troops stronger and must avoid to play BGs and PvPs in this time. But i dont have the reses with 10 raids to make troops and arts, before they made the bots inactive i could do both. And i could help my members with reses to develope their castles esp outside the colored part of the map.

Now i must look that i can do my own castle and the members cant help a lot anymore cos they have the same prob: need loads of reses but dont raid that much now.

And all know that you need loads of gold and iron for training units and lost arts (esp the higher ones), even in player castles you dont get that much.

I didn't raid player castles i besiege them. I dont want their res i attack them for their troops the res they can take to replace that a new "visit" is worth it. Without the bots you must look now for 70-80 enemies for 1 week the risk to lose all what you have is bigger now, and you want reach the other way. Cos you will finding now the big res reserves in the castles of players with purchased stuff and that not all can raid over the week without big losses.

But i dont must defend only my castle i have over 100 members i must support with reses, troops and my league is part of a big alliance and we stay together but even they have probs to support with reses cos all dont get them after the inactive bot story.

I dont think so cos my enemies must raid  to get the reses i shall raid from them too. Where they get them that i can take it ?

with spending money ?

You cant get that back in rewards what you must lose to make the points. And to raid enemies you dont need to think they dont will defend their castles or do they give it away for free ? Players with expierence dont keep the reses if they are offline to avoid raids so the option to keep res fallen away. You must have no enemies that you can play that way or do you raid only lv 2 castles around you and buy all your troops ?  

The Map is really big. There are many abandoned Castles which still produce Resources. Also there are many active Castles with no Defense out. If the owner is offline, it's a good chance to raid for a big amount of Resources. 

If someone spends Sapphires to buy Resources, in 99% cases he spends Resources for building/training/upgrading Lost Arts right away. So you won't even have a chance to raid for purchased Resources. 

True the map is big and there are many abandoned castles, but you need abandoned castles at lv 50 minimum that they carry the masses on reses you need to do all. This castles are rare on the map, esp in server 2. And i think i dont have to travel 7h to get my reses.

The next is that you only can raid this castles til you hit the weekly limit of 50k res per week. After you hit this you start to search again.

And all others raid this abandoned castles too it means it starts to become the same again after Plarium stopped to make the bots active:

You dont will find the reses you need for yourself and your members.

If Plarium dont understand this they can look how their players leave the game more and more. If they want keep their players is to make the bots inactive the wrong way. Even players are spending a bit money on the game leave cos they cant hold their status quo in game.

And if your money hungry bosses dont understand this they kill their own game.
