Why?

Bots finally going to be retaling.

All you bot farmers better buy turrets

hmmmmm

Still it takes a month to load the program? OR IS SOME ONE TESTING IT NOW TO SEE IF IT WORKS FOR THE NEXT MONTH?

I’d be willing to wager that there is is *big* change coming.

In the interim join express

I hope I will still be able to notgain when it comes back 😂

the Cow Launcher is a go ! 🐮

also … water as a resource ?

Naval ships?

Following the end of last set I checked, and the start date for the new set was Nov 7th.
That it's been changed to Dec 7th indicates this is not a typo.

Alliance is the only server I wish to play at this time.
I have a full plate irl

"You are a premium user until Mar 20, 2026"

That's from premium credits I paid for before the purchasing problem hit, and the format was changed.

Now, at 2400 credits per month for Premium, having the Alliance server down for about five weeks when it is the only server I play is the equivalent of around 3000 of my purchased credits wasted.

i would like to see an explanation.

You can consult the country name that you picked for round 96 for a full explanation.

What does that have to do with this?
I'm not allowed to make political statements in my country name?

The question is valid.
The answer "look to my country name" is not.

Do you think that it's effective to act like an asshole then demand favors from people? I have nothing more to say to you. Read the announcements post again.

How dare you come here and call me an.asshole for asking why there's a five week delay in starting a new Alliance set.
What is wrong with you?

There is NOTHING in Announcements about a five week delay in restarting the Alliance server.
And I asked for no favors, much less demanded.

Another question.
Why has the feed to the Monsters ghq site been killed?
Normally, in between sets, we can see countries in protection on the Top Ten Lists there. Not any more.

I called you an asshole because of your country name. Your country name makes you an asshole because the moderators jumped to protect you when your personal information was posted on these forums. It happened in December, remember? Yet you are all too eager to join the "players vs moderators/admin" bandwagon and to stoke tensions between the groups.

You want to claim that your country name is political? Political, as in two opposing sides having a disagreement? Do you think that there's a conflict between the players and the game staff? Are you fighting a war against the game staff? This has been expressly prohibited since September of last year: https://www.earthempires.com/...-about-53195?t=1756855476 and that attitude is what is destroying this game and this community.

The next round of the Alliance server was delayed because of bad behavior from people like you. Since you have no business here until the next round of Alliance, kindly log out before you get yourself into trouble. And on the subject of your ridiculous complaints, because you don't want to read the announcements post, you were already awarded 2400 free credits as part of the transition. You are complaining about nothing.

No disrespect slag. The bad apples are all but gone. Most of us will wait, but those of us waiting aren't the bad apples. Ill admit i got caught up in some drama with others, but most remain are not at war with game mods/team. We just wanna play.

Please don't sqaush the server. We can turn it around.

Have a good night boss.

I honestly do appreciate you saying this, so thank you. I've been trying to say the same thing for over a year. Just play the game. There's plenty of drama to be had ingame if you guys try to find it. Stop doing stuff outside of the game. I'm going go throw out a really simple analogy:

* Clans are like different teams participating in a basketball tournament
* The moderators are like the referees
* The game admins provide the courts, electricity, hoops, and even the balls

Does it make any sense for the players to attack the people who provide the venue for the game and make it possible? Now sure, sometimes the players might disagree with some of the decisions of the referees or maybe with the details of the tournament format. But have you ever seen a sports game where a player attacked a referee during the game and the referee sided with the player? The player gets ejected from the game pretty much every time.

I cant disagree with the analogy. Hopefully we can come to an accord in the near future. Or, see yall on dec 7th. Good news, there are still good people who want to grow the game and build whayever community we can. And some us want to war. (On the court)

Thanks for responding.

..wow there's a lot to unpack here..

My country name has nothing to do with Earth.Empires. as I mentioned, my plate is full irl. I am involved in US politics and after seeing a clip of the old movie They Live I came up with the country name. But where are we here, that I have to explain my country name? Look up a clip of They Live on YouTube if you don't have a clue what I'm referring to.

I am aware of the transition to the new premier credits format. I have time paid for until March of 2026 and have 8565 additional credits. I've bought premium credits since they first became available and before that I would occasionally donate to Earth Empires. It doesn't change my point. The credits I paid for out of my personal bank account are going up in smoke because you are having some kind of temper tantrum and calling non-troublemaking players like me an asshole and "punishing" alliance players for..
Bad behavior?
Look in the mirror, brother.

Missile market. Chems for sale at $10m each

Why does the Start Date change every few days?
Now it says November 9th.

What is the problem with explaining the changes?
Or am I an a$$hole now for asking? Do you wanna check my country name before answering?
What are you hiding from us players?

"We got what we wanted, explain yourself!"

Some people never learn.

Give us a break bro. You trying to undo this or what?

HAWK,

It's real simple.

The delay was explained. It was a delay due to the actions of the banned. We all had to wait, as a result of the actions of MOST of the banned players. The ones who, for about a year now, attacked players personally and publicly, then turned their relentless toxicity on the volunteer game staff for enforcing the staff's definition of the game rules. Instead of accepting their short term fate, they went to war against the volunteer game staff. Should some of those folks get another go? Yes. But there are many of em that deserve the time they got. They acted almost criminally, and in one case, DEFINTALLY broke a couple laws.

I see the "a-hole" thing from both sides. The country name was a mash up of "ban all and dissent", referencing a political figure and certain talk show hosts, and taken from some show or movie or something. From cyref's side, I can see his reasoning for the name, and how it was shocking to get called on it, I can also see the game staff side, where for like a year, they have been relentlessly publicly attacked, insulted, and accused of stuff, that normal adults would have resolved privately in some sort of conversation or legal type of mediated situation or something. So i get it. It could have been seen as a dig at the staff. I myself have been banned 3 times for getting wrapped up in the scandals and toxic behavior. I hated it. It's not the Empy that played in 99 to 2000 whatever year. We are in our 50's, 60's and 70s around here. Why are we acting like children? JUST PLAY and engage and WAR. That's how we keep alliance. Otherwise we'll be netting with the girls on coop.

With that said, through a short discussion, and a couple of thank you's, and perhaps didn't even impact it at all, showing some appreciation for keeping this game and SERVER open for whatever amount of years for us to act like toxic 13 year olds hopped up on snorted pixie sticks before gym class, we got the november start date we want, and we get to keep alliance.

Now you wanna show up here and F it up?

We got the explanation. We got an analogy to explain for those of us who don't understand.
We got the date we wanted. So start a country.

JUST PLAY THE DAMN GAME. Cue the bootlicker comments. I could care less.
We get to play something that should have died A LONG TIME ago.
Wanna trash me for supporting the volunteer staff? Go ahead, no affect on my life WHAT- SO - EVER.

^ I agree, and have been trying to bring people around to that in small discussions for a while. I've been trying to always approach things from a solutions based approach - what is the problem, how do we solve it?

Unfortunately, for a certain % of players, the problem was "we can't say and do whatever we want on game property, and the game *we* want to play is outrage farming." There is no solution to that problem.
