Dear Kings and Queens,
We would like to improve the Forge of Empires menu ingame, and we'd like to ask for your feedback on some mockups. Guilds are currently buried in the Global submenu, which isn't very intuitive, and this makes guilds and their functions less accessible to players.
We know that players become very familiar with the game menu over time, and simply moving buttons around can be annoying when you are used to their earlier position. Therefore, what we want to do is to ensure that any change we make is a real improvement.
We've got a couple of ideas on how we could improve the menu, so please go ahead and read on, and then vote for the idea you like the most. If you have any comments to make about the proposed menus, we want to know about these too, so please post your feedback in this thread. We are open to suggestions and ideas, however there are limitations: for example, we cannot add further menu items because this would mean the game would no longer fit into lower-resolution screens.
Menu A
In this option, all message-related items are moved into a submenu, for example the guild forum, message center and community forum buttons. A ranking button is also added to the menu for better accessibility (not everyone knows that it can be clicked on at the top of the game window).
Menu B
In this option there is no ranking button added, the community forum button is moved out of the menu (and into another location in the game). The guild forum button and guild button are both added to the menu.
One final thing to add: we are asking players in every market for their feedback about the game menu. Even so, this does not mean that the most-voted-for idea would be implemented. What we want to do is gather feedback and votes and assess it all together - including comments and other ideas - in order to find the best possible solution for everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to be involved in this discussion, and thank you for supporting Forge of Empires.
Sincerely,
The Forge of Empires team.
