I agree with you on some points..old servers are less active..the newest server(14) has alot of activity. The problem there though for someone starting out is..if you don't understand the new system your gonna fall victim. On the plus side you have active players ready to show you how to play it. I be been playing this game as long as you have ..maybe a little longer..and yes I felt the same way ...even gave up my accounts and left for six months ...then over the summer came back. And admittedly lost with the new system. Fortunately I found some old friends that stayed..(all raiders) and I began my journey of learning the new system. Although I still do not fully understand the number crunching and the dynamics of the new system. I was able to start a new account ..fully upgraded my hideout ...have my aspects on track..and successfully captured 24 million in gold with less the 7 thousand lost. I just now hit level 100 ..and that was by choice (most of the actives on my server are in the top 50 ) I went where the gold is But yes its hard to find those active players. But I can say this ...I log into the forums daily and do take note of newest members. And we are getting new players into the game ..you coming back is a start...educating you and keeping you interested and staying awhile is the next step. Maybe we can get some new life in this ghost town.

Before you start an account on s.14 pm me and I will share some things I have learned...you need to start out in the right track first to get an advantage. I am more then willing to help you There are alot of great players on that server who are willing to give advice and share their knowledge. You just need to put in the time. Hopefully we can change your views. It took me awhile to adjust..there's no magic system. Just advice and a few tricks.

A lot of the servers are like that now. People can jump up so quick in the game now to where if you don't have stones, you don't have a chance. Raiding isn't what it used to be either. There's no communication because people can jump on, use their AP's and jump right off instead of hanging around for their 4 or 2 hrs of grotto time. It's convenient no doubt, but the chatter just isn't what it used to be. It's become a chore almost, for me anyways. .

Hellstones can be a factor, but I say can because it all depends on how you want to play.

My S9 account, is a hellstone account . I use them for gear, but mostly ap potions , because I like to climb in levels ( but that just me).

I also have a S4 account , no hellstones and I just raid and mess around and get a few totems. When I get bored with it. I delete it and create a new one on another server and repeat ( good way to do the trial and error thing ).

My advice to new ( or players returning to try the new system) .Learn to read battle reports. Look to see where and why your opponent is getting more hits in ( and your not). Look to see where and why your opponent is getting more damage in ( and your not). Otherwise your choice in gear talents and aspects boils down to " click and hope for the best" . Which means you wouldn't be getting the best out of what you have and therefore won't enjoy the game as much.

Also , periodically there's the great hunt. Where players can hit other players on different servers. Do not go into hiding. Take your lumps and read those battle reports. You can only learn so much from the players on your server. My S9 account has been made that much better by learning from others. The end result of doing that, was during the last great hunt. The odd equal or lower level player got the better of me. The rest either took a beating or won because they were many levels higher ( and they may not have that advantage next time).


The secret to longevity in any game (imo), is keeping yourself amused. While the game should be fun and challenging to play. You should not depend entirely on others or the game itself to keep you amused. If you applied that logic to eating. You'd have to eat at the restaurant (or chez Mom's) everyday for every meal,or you'd die from lack of eating because the roast beef didn't hope in the oven and cook itself for you.

I'm an entirely new in this game. I may say I'm a stranger here and I'm not familiar with the old system. I started and account in S14 and just exploring this game and somewhat liking it. I keep reading the posts and learned from them. But i really need more tips from Veteran players also.

I agree way back in the day wars happened every day, more players where online, and there was no real point system except Booty Score. I've adapted to the new changes but I personally miss the old days too. I've played about four years all together.


To find active players though you are more likely to find them in the newest servers, like 12, 13, and 14.


I'm located on server 4 and its pretty dead there. Some players here and there, but for the most part its like ya say "ghost town".

too bad this is happening. maybe because they are making the new server instead of sticking into 1 server? just my opinion

The problem is the PvP play. Without it the game is dull and boring. All that would have been needed to keep the olders that left and a lot of the ones who have came and went since the change is a way to keep them entertained. There have been post after post asking GF to give just 1 server of the old and make it clear that it wouldn't be updated. What you see is what you get kinda deal. Unfortunately they seem to be totally sold that this is better yet players and some of them older are steadily leaving whether it be by deletion or just not returning and if they do return they don't do it much. As more and more begin to feel that servers are dead they will continue to get bored and leave. I myself have made or replied to many posts trying to get this fixed by asking GF to give at least 1 server of the old. Found the Iranian Servers that didn't change and started playing this version on .org along with the older on .ir and it was more acceptable. I had accounts that were alive with PvP and used this version to just run the levels which is all it allows anyways. GF saw fit to remove the complete Iranian dot and this version really began to suck again so the accounts were deleted again. But...the joys of the internet abound and after months of searching I found another. And,just like the Iranian Servers,when used in conjunction with this version it doesn't suck so bad again. The thing is for all of you who are facing boredom and are feeling like it doesn't matter if you sign on or not is that you gotta find something that will use up the time you are spending online. Then you just add this to the mix and it really isn't that bad of a game. If you are an online junkie like myself this game will never be what you desire in it's current form as a stand alone. For me now it really isn't that much different than before when I would play 2 or more servers because you wanted something to do during the wait times between attacks. Find a game that uses up your time and add this one in for the in between and I think you will find you will like it a little if not a lot more.
