Does this new event replace the old persian events or is it something additional? If it is a replacement, then earning GP's just got significantly harder.

Is global tournament replacement for global quests or is it addition?

wow this is to even the playing field for who plaruiam or the player it seems its like vegas house gets the advanage only good thing from global events was the gps you earned and once you payed the bank back pluse the 10% you got troops and they are not free troops either but this new deal is awful just another way for plarium to do another money grab looks like im gunna be looking for another game to play soon 

GOOD JOB PLARIUM. SOON WE ARE GOING TO QUIT.

I don't think this tournament is completely new - I remember something similar a few months back. With regard to gps, yes it looks harder to get compared to normal Persian quests but, for example, I defeated a level 37 position and got 130 points - which is a lot more than for a normal Persian quest where I might have got about 50 equivalent points.

i earn 1100 point, and i lose 600k offensive and 400k defensive at lvl 30-40 persians, while in old time i only need 200k offensive to reach 100 gp and 400 drachma while now it 4x the value and stuck at 250 drachma....i would like to have the old1 because were not freedom fighter like those crazy player that can earn 50k point within 1hr....

Just because this new stupid event, im losing my idea on drawing and not in mood doing them lately because my city is dead city...all my troops dead, and the persians position liberated unit given are very very stupid low

It isn't even a money grab, because you cannot buy gps.  The new set up makes it harder for new players to get articles so that they could compete with existing players.  It completely sucks.  If I was a new player knowing how much harder it is to get gps, I would not play.

Now your game is not working.  No updates?  Can we get boosts to make up for the time we are waiting?

I totally agree onthis one. Instead making it easier for newcomers to catch up with big boys, they are doing the opposite... Opposite of reason and wisdom.

I hardly convinced a friend to join, told him about relatively easy way to earn GPs on persians and next day a brand new tournament appears which was not what I was telling him about. Well, he is gone, I`m thinking about leaving, many others too... Great job Plarium

Good work Plarium.

Let make it harder for the newer players. Brilliant thinking!

Mr. Administrator could made it much more simple to explain:

the new global quest: we made it 20x more harder

(you need 10.000 (!!) points to get 90 GP's)

thats the ONLY thing that has changed. Am i correct or not?

Yes. And there will not be newer players, but their cities.

I played this game for many months with much pleasure, but the new Persian Quest RIP OFF AND the fact that I haven't been able to download the game all day long have turned me off completely. I have money invested in here and can't even play. No wonder people are leaving in droves.

Before you could get the 100 Gp's relatively easy compared with this new version. Plarium is really sabotaging its own game, go figure!

Talk about killing the goose that........

Plarium intends for the global tournament to replace both PVP quests and Global quests to streamline technical implementation.

Yes, the new global tournament has made GPs more difficult to earn; however, drachma rewards have been significantly increased from 400 to 3100 max. In addition, the drachma rewards for top rankings have expanded from the top 30 or 50 to the top 100. With that in mind, post here if you have any further complaints.

Game is unplayable and won't load fully , fix that first 

agreed Sergio, new system sucks, but at least allow log-in before a rage quit

Lo voy a decir en español, estoy cansado de escribir en ingles, creo que la intención de los que llevan adelante el juego es ganar mas dinero, al cambiar la quest global se ve claramente eso, lo cual es lógico que quieran ganar dinero por mantener el juego, al tener mas perdidas aquellos que pagan en el juego, si quieren mantener su ejercito intacto, no les quedara otra que recuperar sus tropas, y entonces el premio mas otro poco de dracmas se ira en eso, en vez de usarlo en mejorar la ciudad, ahora bien, no se como estarán actualmente las finanzas de Plarium, pero parece que su estrategia de negocios o mejor dicho sus consejeros financieros, no usan un razonamiento lógico sobre ello. Si por ejemplo hoy tenes 1000 personas que gastan por así decirlo 10 dolares x mes en el juego y obtienen casi 10000 dracmas, si eso lo bajaran a la mitad en vez de gastar 10 dolares, terminaran gastando 20 o si bajaran a la mitad el costo de recuperar tropas o comprar impulsores o cualquier beneficio dentro del juego, ocurrirá lo mismo, si van hacer el juego mas difícil de lo que ya era jugarlo, creo que tendrían que tener en cuenta esas cosas antes de realizar cambios que para los jugadores mas nuevos o no tan nuevos, se les hace cada vez mas difícil encontrar motivos para quedarse y seguir invirtiendo tiempo y dinero.

Por otro lado en vez de quejarnos tanto y que quizás Plarium haga oídos sordos a nuestras palabras, hay formas de hacerles ver que sus cambios son contraproducentes para ellos y si siguen así lo único que lograran es cavar su propia tumba, les propongo a todos aquellos que estén en desacuerdo, huelga, guarden sus tropas, no hagan participen en el torneo global, ni el pvp durante 1 semana o 2 y van a ver como todo vuelve a como era antes, seguro van a estar los vivos que sacaran partido de esto, pero la idea es no regalarles dinero a Plarium, si lo quieren que lo ganen justamente y no a expensas de precios desorbitados y solo complicar mas el juego de lo que ya era.

Saludos a todos

I was able to get 300 GPS in two weeks.  You are cancelling both and now I will get maybe 100 GPS in two weeks.  As I already paid up GPS until the Agemas, I would much rather have the increased drachma option.  I still think you are making a mistake regarding new players.  

You already know every time you make a change someone is going to complain.  I will do you a favor and make a logical suggestion.  Since the GPS problem is primarily for new players (long time players don't need to buy articles) make a tier system that gives extra GPS for new players.  You did that with the PVP where a new player would need just 100 PVP to get 100 GPS, while an experienced player would need 4000 PVP to get 100 GPS.

I am a few days shy of logging in for 7 months without missing a day, and I play several hours each day. While some of the changes that have occurred were sincere attempts at making the game better, this change is not in that category. Like the others here have already mentioned, the primary purpose of the Persian Positions was for players to obtain the much needed GP's. It also allowed players to obtain troops they could not make yet. This new approach is a total and unequivocal mistake. I, like many others waited for the global quest to come every two weeks in order to obtain the much needed GP"s, and now with the metric you are using, it will take months to advance, and if like the moderator said, that this is also going to take the place of PVP then it is a worse disaster than I thought. Not only that, you better have a pocket full of drachma to revive your troops. Some have mentioned that the other rewards are better than before, but one used to be able to fight five or six positions, gain their GP's and quit if they chose until the next quest came up. In fairness, I used to gain my GP's and stop, so I am not sure what playing further would have brought me. Now, I can make most of my own troops, but in the over fifty positions I played, I received troops four times and they were not in great amounts. I played the last two days just to see if I was mistaken and this would turn out to be a good thing, but I can tell you that it has not and I will not play them again after this. I have spent money here like others and have enjoyed the game very much, and with patience I was able to progress nicely, but that will be difficult under the present configuration. Also, if this global quest is truly replacing the PVP, I will have to exist with what I can make now and hope for a return to a configuration that allows me to move ahead. The others here have made other valid arguments also with regard to this change. I hope you reconsider.

Archons, I went through this thread, and I am thankful to you for posting your concerns there.

Erich Bortney and Damir - you are correct, usual PvP and Global quests are replaced by the Tournaments.

In fact, this is a new modified type of the global quest. From now on there will be no separate PvPs as they will be included into the Tournaments (plus various types of missions which can run consequently or parallel).

Archon Gengske, it is harder now to get GPs, indeed. However Tournaments and events inside them will be more frequent, so you will have more chances to gain rewards, so the lack of GPs will be gradually neutralized.
