Elves vs. Dwarves

This was fun after LOTR movies were released, but its old. It’s been resold at least 4 or 5x since it was released. They added a 6 city upgrade that helps, but the game crashes often (inc today). That isn’t as bad as how long it takes to do basic tasks (5-10 s, previously <1 s) like accessing the calendar or changing worlds. I’ve come in top 100 in cross world comps with just 2 rarely active ppl in our guild. Not hard for 2 inactive ppl to place in their own individual world guild comps - we do regularly, because not many play this game. It is old.

The Hobbit was one of the best games I’ve ever played. It saddened me when they lost the IP for it but made me smile when they said it wasn’t goodbye. This game has always been full of negatively from the community. Don’t let that stop you from trying it. You’ll be glad you did. Each and every time I’ve reached out with feedback I’ve been detailed, and constructive. I’ve not been silent with criticism either but I’ve always tried to remain respectful. This game and the community will be something I will continue to cherish. I just wish communication would be improved, it seems we get a once a week announcement, and sometimes it’s not for everyone, e.g classic seasons, home world season. I understand resources are tight because your portfolio is growing but, please don’t abandon us. We haven’t abandoned you. Sure some of us have taken breaks but that’s healthy for any community. This issue is nothing new though. We’ve always had communication issues especially with timely replies on hot topic issues such as game bugs etc. I’ve also noticed in recent time that we get a lot of errors in game but no regular maintenance. Years ago we had it at least once a month. It really kept the bugs and glitches down. From an IT perspective, rebooting the server can help clear Cache and improve speed and performance. Maybe consider bringing them back. It’s a good way to add your monthly server updates on core infrastructure too. The inclusion of the web store is something that I am impressed about. I’ll be honest. I’ve never until recently spent more than $20 on the game. But it’s because I was only 13/14 at the time of the original games release. Spending seems to be balanced but with the absence of communication, at times I feel like I’ve been seen as a money bag. The exclusion of ads is one feature that absolutely stands out. This has to be the best feature beyond the core game. Enjoying the game is not disrupted or intruded by data scraping ads. I appreciate each and every person that’s ever worked on this game. You truly have no idea how much it means to me. I kindly ask that you consume my feedback and reflect on changes that can improve my key thoughts. Thank you. Player Beff, Server 248 & 249
