Been in the game little less than a year. Grind steadily , read the forum when bored, open the chat. i really like the evolution of the game during my stay but i felt it needed some improvements.

Got to lvl 55 got 56k score over 5k games but I consider myself a noob as apart from some random pvp mostly ending up in desync or childish trash talking i stick with the FG, arena part of the game.Its hard to find out what events are going on... compairing with other online games such things must be advertised in your face... log in.... boom... event " kill the uber god" starting in 12 hours. what i want to say is that the main page MUST have such info.

Firstly i applied for the mentor program. Many ppl before me said this feature is kinda dead. still hoping that someone will become my mentor but i dont know how he will contact me. he might have done so but i did not get the message...

 Resently interested in WOE as i heard about it in the chat...looked around the forum got some info but still not clear what it is...a spin off, a forum game, a beta test...

Applied for war... that card table was brutal...i just did not do it and some very polite ppl explained that i need to do it... spend something like 2 hours counting cards, after my head got dizzy from the sight of the script (pc-programming illiterate) and during that process i lost contact with 2 generals talking to me in chat. Dont care so much about war now...

Decided to go BL, got to the rules long but ok. Realized i am over lvled so open up CL, saw something like 20-30 ppl all an all in the rankings. Read the event lasts 2 months but when did it start i do not know. After the war application the score script looked like a walk in the park :D

After that i felt the need to know how many ppl play this game.... chat is like 30 ppl at that moment, could not think of another place to look for registered users/active/online now

Is the game spiraling down, is it on the rise? cannot tell i see some very nice forum members/admins trying hard to organize events that the average gamer will not get to see.

To end the winning i suggest a banner in the main game screen with the current event start-finish date and a link to the related forum post

sorry for being so long and thanks for reading the memoirs of an old man :S

Well, first of all, the game can not announce events, because it would be too hard to code all of that. The forums already have the current events at the top. The mentor program is pretty dead, though I think you can get an unofficial mentor by asking in chat. WoE is a big event that is a sort of board game with Elements the game. Currently it is in the beta stage, but it is being tested with actual players. You can apply by going into the WoE section of the forums and finding the sign-up thread. As for war, you have to complete that table in order for generals to be able to pick the best-suited players. If the code scares you, just don't participate. For the leagues, you can join BL if you want to, it isn't required to be in CL if you have a big score. People that play the game...there are a lot of them. By looking at the memberlist, you can tell that there are 7134 members in the forum, with new people joining every day. Chat is sometimes not full of people, but that doesn't mean none are active. Some people just don't feel like going into chat. The game is pretty normal, not losing like 25 players each day, and it does get more players over time. I think that most of the people that start playing the game, join the forums, and become part of the community don't forget about it for a long time. As I already said, I don't think that the game can announce events, and the forums are doing a good job already.
