i'm a player who has been playing this game since February 2009, on the old stable, almost 2 years now.
not many players know me, publicity in this game can be lethal many times. and i rarely do participate here, for mostly, the game is just enjoyable. i read the board all the time.
lately, on the new stable server, the game started getting new and weird rules, from 2, if you may excuse me, either completely naive moderators, or extremely sinister moderators, you can pick between the 2.

the main audience for this letter is Daedeloth, and if there are any other developers interested.
this letter is NOT addressed to any moderator, and quite frankly, i dont care the one bit what you have to say, so stay out of this.

the main reason i decided to write this letter, is that earlier this evening, 2 players, 2 good players, were reset because they exchanged 50K food for some runes. yes total reset. because according to some made-up law, by some moderator, that exchanged wasn't balanced. i never knew that moderators are the new stock exhange of this game, defining what the price of a rune is.

is this the sort of rules the developers want and endorse? i repeat, this is not to be answered by any moderator, i am asking the developers. is that type of rules what they want? so they really endorse these rules?

i cant send resources to friends in need, i can send weapons, but here's the fun part, i cant ask for them back (dont look at me, mods said that). i cant send runes to friends suffering heavy loses and in precious need of water runes for their farms. i cant send food for troops that are stationed in a friend's village. i cant attack a player, because he's a moderator (they're gods last i've heard). i cant be an *ally*, simply put. i am in a clan... just to have a brand on my shoulder, that's i'm in a clan. but clan chat is about the only thing i'm allowed to exercise in my clan.

is this what developers want? did they really coded the marketplace so that we can barely be able to use it?

as i write this, and excuse the vulgarity, but i just saw one of the moderators telling a player that he's moaning and bitching in chat. is this really the type of moderators the developers want. the said mod is called "Demo"... i guess he's just a demo mod... well this demo is failing, you need a new prototype.

once upon a long time ago, i played a server with over 150 actives. i was leading a fair-sized clan ranked between 4th and 8th, we used to exchange resources, we used to have constant warring against the major center clans, we used to have fun. i was a frontline player, too close to enemies, and not the biggest in my clan. troops and resources were stationed in my village for weeks at a time, constant attacks by larger players reaping hordes of runes, while we retaliate reclaiming them all back, and sometimes more, farms and other buildings wiped out in a day, and thanks to gnerous help of clan, rebuilt in few days... i cant imagine how the game would have been even playable, if only me getting attaced, and my clan cant send me anything.

the game has no more than 30 actives per server, i am playing on 3 servers to kil time, and it's not cutting it anymore. there's no more fun... no more wars... no one DARES start a war because no one can afford it if they cant be helped. secret allies? non-existant anymore, for they cant even exchange balancedly with each other anymore.

what this game needs yet to be complete? the moderators telling us whom and when to attack, the moderators controlling all our villages while we sit and watch... listening to their verbiage of vulgarity falling on the chat...
