This sucks!!!

I wake up before work and replace my fields and deposits before i go to work. but uhhhhh never can because CONNECTION FAILED. So when i get home from work and if i can log on my place is a wreck. Are u ever going to fix this been complaining for MONTHS now. I lose alot of progress this way. I try and create ALOT of buffs and troops because it takes HOURS to do. So when i get home im ready to do some progress. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FIX THE GOD FORESAKEN SERVER. ive spent ALOT of REAL $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ on this game and nothing but problems.... dont get me wrong i LOVE this game. All i want for Xmas is this problem to be fixed. thank you " AGESAHEADOFUALL "

Amen!

Rofl Ages.

i am in total agreement here. but i have found a solution. are u ready for this
i leave my coputer on O.o just put it in hibernate and use Mozilla Firefox browser. the only times i ever log off the game is duing these maintenances. *brushes off shoulder. ah ok see u

I had this problem while playing it auto kicked me from game saying connection error found i hit ok and then it reloaded page saying not found.
I trouble shot my connection it said it was fine.
I tried clearing cache and cookies didnt work.
Still say page not found.
I restarted computer to be sure it wasn't my connection still couldn't get here.
Also i could access any other website but this one.
It wouldn't bring up any link that had to do with this site what so ever.
Only would say page not found or this site is havving issue's i tried for 3-4 hrs to get back to the site to contact them about the problem !!
I finally get here going ok maybe it'll work now nope !!
I can log in but i cant enter the game say's connection fail witch is bs !! Caus ei can go to any other website i want with no problem at all and no it not my browser been playing for weeks this my 1st major problem.

that is because the server crshed tonite
usually this doesnt happen
and they just took it from the crash reboot straight to the maintence

And every time I start to consider spending money on this game, something like this happens.

I've also finally realized there is regular maintenance every week, but they never announce it until like 15min ahead of time. If it's scheduled, what's the harm with including a 12h or at least a 6h countdown clock in-game, for those of us who don't constantly refresh the forums? I feel like this game is aimed at the people who'd log in a couple times a day, and the people who'd pay hundreds of dollars for it (like the OP), but there is no love for anyone in between. The game itself is great and has definitely hooked me, but the management seems to be sabotaging it at every turn. Don't make me feel dirty for wanting to spend money on this game.

i have spent around 180 on it. i know what u mean. but all we can do is keep making forums and messaging the BB in game and letting them know our suggestions. if you spend money buy the licences first. trust me on that one

We gona get anything for this incovience i spent last 4 hrs trying to acces site i couldn't even get to there site or any links related to this site.

Well lets hope at least they put our places on holding stage, so that everything is in time freeze. otherwise we all have alot of work to do. I think this should be done during Maintenence down time , then brought back when we log in.

What does beta mean?

Beta means the game hasnt been finialized yet ... a beta test is usually the last phase of testing that a game undergoes before being released fully to the public, its where the pick out the more minor bugs and irritations, as well as imbalance issues (contrary to alpha testing which is where they pick out the massive bugs and glitches in a games code), essentially, youre on the "open beta" of castle empire ...
and quite frankly ahh, feels like maintenance night on world of warcraft 6 years ago ... and yanno what? it really dosnt bother me that the server is down, you know what they say? sh*t happens.
secondly, i challenge any of you folks complaining about downed servers to create an mmo or a server-based game that;
a) handles 1000's of players from across the world at any one time.
and
b) keep it above a 80-90% up time margin, take it from someone who has family in the massive multiplayer gaming industry - its not as easy as you think to keep those servers up with the traffic they receive.
oh and dont call me a fanboy, this is the first thing ive played from ubi or bluebyte in that was released in the last 10 years, i just have half a clue about the industry.

I do believe that is 5am pst. For me, that means 7am EST. This happens every week. I don't even bother to attempt my first log-in until 7am.

5am PST is actually 8am EST, just saying.

7:47 starting to shake ....lol
