And is that a bad thing? I personally had enough of the obvious multi accounts, someone even coming on to flaunt their second account on Global, guilds knowingly helping them do so. 100% good decision to stop it.Its possible with GVG ending that a lot of accounts will cease playing if rumours are true... has always been thought that players from big GVG guilds control multiple accounts and play GVG from several different guilds in order to control the map...Inno could find that there are a lot less actual individuals playing this game than they thought!
its good the alts will go, but there may be a lot of empty guilds...less guilds, less competition and a poorer gameAnd is that a bad thing?

It’s not competition when someone‘s alt is used as ghost guild, or when guilds raise accounts to act as that ghost. I’m happier with fewer guilds if there are real players in them who can only do one lot of battles a day.its good the alts will go, but there may be a lot of empty guilds...less guilds, less competition and a poorer game
Actually the reasoning is very transparent and truthful. Neither has InnoGames ever claimed not to be a business; all gaming companies must pay their developers or there would be no games for anyone to play. The fact is, that around 1% of active players play GvG (I myself am one of that 1% so of course am sad to see it go), and the feature is resource heavy and cumbersome and it would be extremely difficult to change any of that, with no guarantee that the result would be a functional feature. Games must evolve to fit the needs of modern players. I understand change is difficult however, but the reasoning given is genuine.
This will be addressed in the coming weeks, along with any other common questions which arise until then.What is going to happen the Support pool with GB's that have it is going to move over to the this new thing that is coming ?
They have talked about fading out GvG for years , it is no fun anymore when Guilds hold all sectors and swap every reset . I love GvG but to me the fun has long gone with the cheatingInteresting to see so much interest now there’s an announcement that Gvg will be discontinued, while there was very little for a long time that I could see, when there were complaints about bots and overt cheating. For those who wanted their guild kicks, and the chat and the planning, there has been the option of outside channels for a long time, and many guilds have used those also, even to the annoyance of others who wouldn’t. Now we are missing that also?
How many in any of your opponent’s guilds (and how many of those are there, really?) play? It’s 1-5 maybe, in most Gvg guilds in my world, and judging by the Gvg based ranking board, there are maybe 15 guilds who have any Gvg players at all. Thats about the same amount of people as my full guild. In my full gaming world.
No they don’t. The more accurate statement is that many people continue to play only because of Gvg. That base has diminished fast. Most people who play don’t even have a computer to play Gvg on.
Sounds like you’re describing Gbg, right there. The only reward from Gvg for everyone is prestige, beside that, how does it give anything more to the guild members than GbG does? Also, if your guild has not created an atmosphere where you plan for and participate in your successes, then I guess you won’t see Gbg that way, but the one thing that does come very close to that Gvg feeling is winning one or multiple races in Gbg, and yes, it’s fully possible to plan for, and execute, and who are you doing it against if not live players? You also race against time, if your opponent is active. If the next move is to say but they aren’t, well, that seems to be the state of the Gvg maps too for the most part, there is precious little fighting on them at least in my world, since you know, those ‘fighters’ aren’t actually fighting, they are mainly holding land. Most guilds holding land at the moment consist of 1 or 2 active Gvg players. Nobody is even trying to land or take out the land held by others. And that is the way it has been going for about a year. If it is different in your world, I understand that you may be more upset about the change than I am, but I very much doubt most worlds are anywhere near as active as people like to think.
erm - how does that even make sense given the big botteneck at GVG is being on at reset at 8 PM GMT...? you cant fight multiple profiles at same time...?Its possible with GVG ending that a lot of accounts will cease playing if rumours are true... has always been thought that players from big GVG guilds control multiple accounts and play GVG from several different guilds in order to control the map...Inno could find that there are a lot less actual individuals playing this game than they thought!
What big reward buildings???????
Ygdrassill, Sun Temple, Shinto Temple, Royal Bathhouse.
The smaller buildings from the settlements for time rewards were once very usefull to replace SoKs. Though after last year they are all replaced by new event buildings.
Seems that we have a different opinion.
For example: If you have a new city and have no space for Alcatraz then getting 10 unattached units from the Royal Bathhouse each day plus some FP is most welcome. Definitly if you compared with all the generic buildings that you can place.
