Do you feel something should be done about the inactive players in game?

Be glad - you'd only get half the coins and no Crystal Lighthouse bonus if they had been turned into gold mines.

It's an Ancient Wonder you can build (elf ch. iv). The human equivalent is the Great Bell Spire. When you give Neighborly help, you also get some of your boosted good in addition to the other stuff.

Ahhh.....thanks....I'm no where near that yet....


"Where there was a city with a player name on the map, there is now just a big gold coin. In my Khel city, they did a purge a month ago. None of those mines has filled in; in fact, more have been added since. I give neighborly help to the 1 neighbor who helps me."

I took another stroll and found a couple areas that show a gold coin but I can't click on them. Is that because I haven't unlocked AW?

I just went for a stroll and visited every possible player in my opened area...I guess my neck of the woods hasn't had a purge. The same cities with 3 buildings and a broken road are still sitting there... for ages now...

Lucky! So far, I've lost over 35 million coins due to the purge/gold mine replacement.

It has nothing to do with the AW. If it's in your discovered provinces and you click on the coin, does it disappear and a timer appear? That means you just collected the gold mine - you can do it every 23 hrs. It's half the coin of visiting a regular city.

Wish I could be up from 10 PM - 6 AM EST to catch the actual purge run, but I need my sleep. If I was the DB Admin I would schedule the SQL Delete query for 9 AM so that I could get my Coffee, read emails and settle in before it ran, so if it broke anything I could fix it fast. 9AM German time is 3 AM EST, Midnight Pacific. Note the last data 8/7 above was collected at 10:15 AM late

Today will be the end of the tracking. We now have one months data and It is time to install Excel and do some analysis and graphs and publish my observations and conclusions. A spoiler though is that generally it looks like we are loosing more players then new joins and as a result revenue growth from diamonds must not be good.The numbers and observations show they are not removing dead players >level3 so we can only look at the flow over a month to determine actual active players.

Ya Bobby Saw that. but I am interested in just how many new players they gain/month verus those that quit. This will determine if this is a sinking ship were the crew is selling lifeboats.

about 2 months ago, I opened the game and most all of the provinces I had cleared had no players names in them. There were few names out in the undiscovered areas near me. The only thing that has changed in the 2 months is I have a ton of gold mines that give me 1/2 the coins I would have gotten had player names still been there. I have not had one of those gold mines replaced with a new player. over 2 months like this. my discovered green "circle" is now a jumbled up mess of going out in line shapes trying to reach another player. sometimes I have to go out 4 or 5 times to get another player opened up. and those are a lot of "one day wonder" players as well. New player drop out is rampant. The game is slow, and clunky. there are few incentives. For me it's like reading a book that is crap... sheesh.. I bought it, I need to read it, hopefully it will get better...... why did I waste my money on it?

I just started playing last week and am already annoyed at player inactivity (how is that possible--lol). There is absolute unanimity on this poll for "yes." Not a shocker.

I have zero gold mines and practically zero active neighbours. This means inactives are being removed and replaced with inactives???

How is this even possible? If it wasn't so sad it would be hilarious :O

New player drop out is incredibly high. The game is very slow and a bit tedious at times. and not everyone that begins playing the game knows about the Wiki to get information. And so people give up and find a game they enjoy. Until the developers begin listening to the players and responding positively to the change requests and player needs, that will continue.
