The not so good ol days of FOE. There was no Aid button, no GvG, no events worth playing, no app, no incidents, no tavern, no auction dealer, no daily challenge, no GE, no GbG, no arc, no observatory, only fighting was against your neighbors and continental map. The game was long and boring. Slowly improvements started coming.
I been playing this game off and on for the most part of 7 years. Spent more time off than on. But I keep getting drawn back to the game for it's city building and competitiveness. But that competitiveness comes at a cost, your time. As years go by, many improvements were made. The game was starting to become not so much like a chore, but actually kinda fun. Eventually the daily grind of GvG becomes a chore in order to stay competitive and time to bail again. In 6 months or a year, I would be back. There were new features, new buildings, new events, new worlds were available every 3-9 months to get a fresh start. But still felt like a chore. GvG and GE were the only game in town. It was very tough to be competitive and still have a professional career and a family. The game had to go. About a year or so trying other games, I came back just looking to kill time, play casually and not so competitive. I went to the forums first and started reading. I stumbled on a guide I felt would work great for me and I gave it a shot. It has completely changed the game for me. I am able to play casually and competitive. For the first time I been playing FOE for almost a year now anticipating a new world.
The Good: Gone are those days when we needed a third party flash app to collect so we didn't get plundered. Gone are those days of going city to city to M/P. Gone are the days of getting your stilt house plundered 5 minutes out of the gate. Gone are the days you had to fight GvG to raise the guild level. New event buildings, New ages, New GB's. New strategies. The game is actually fun.
The Bad: Must join top 5 guilds to be competitive in GvG. Coliseum, Notre Dame and other GB's are so bad, their blueprints are not worth taking up space in my GB list.
The Ugly: 2020 is first year FOE did not have a new world. Waiting 24 hrs for barracks and buildings are fine. Waiting over a year or more for a new world is ridiculous. I don't mind putting money into a game. I won't put money into a world where my competition has had years head start. Trading more than one age up or down creates a black market for sellers and a ridiculous amount of unfair trades in market.
The game has come a long way since I first got here. But the game is losing it's glamour again. You can only get so far on an old server. I'm growing weary of waiting for a new world to open. Maybe I'll just get the new Playstation instead.
