I have no problem with restoring API access to ghqnet.com if the security issues in point 1 are addressed and the offensive content in point 2 is removed. The ghqnet admins have declined to do so. I understand that you're more of a FFA player and may feel that you are being punished due to the actions of alliance players, but this is one of the risks you take when using an external site. ghqnet.com could simply be taken off the internet tomorrow and there's nothing that the game admins could do about it.

API feeds and spy op upload are no longer available for ghqnet.com. Players are no longer permitted to link to it on any Earth Empires property. This change was done for two reasons:

1) ghqnet.com previously stored plain text passwords for user accounts and many Earth Empires game accounts were accessed using those passwords after ghqnet.com was hacked. This impacted the integrity of the game and resulted in a lot of clean up work for the moderators and administrators.

2) A disgraced former clan is using it as a platform to make untrue, disgusting statements towards the game admins, moderators, and even the average player. The ghqnet admins are aware of it and do not view this as a violation of their terms of service. We will not deliberately drive traffic to a website that publicly hosts such material.

We urge all ghqnet.com users to find a replacement hosting solution in order to protect their personal information and the integrity of the game.

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 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.

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.

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

You should look into buying spy tech as a casher.

I think that overall it isn't as bad as it used to be. Express is always active and is a good learning environment. The Cooperation server exists as a safe place to learn the game. Players are pretty generous in ingame messages on non-clan servers and clans can help quite a bit for learning the game. The ingame help text is more complete and accurate than ever.

Doesn't mean that it's good though. It's certainly a tough experience on the Classic server but if anything that seems to be the identity of the server.

He has created dozens of game accounts.

What's wrong with getting solo killed by me??? I play with good fundamentals.

I've posted nearly that same idea on here before but there wasn't really any interest.

https://www.earthempires.com/.../war-server-53126#1044183

It's not quite that simple because deleted countries can be undeleted by the moderators.

If you click the "express" tab you can see that profile is not ranked in any category other than "best finish".

It is now possible to split up a new standing order into three parts. The requested quantity will be evenly divided by 3 and rounded down. For example, suppose a player requests a standing order for one million troops with a maximum price of $150. If the player clicks the "Split into three orders" checkbox then they will see the following:

Waiting for activation: Purchase up to 333,333 Troops at $150 or less. Cancel Order
Waiting for activation: Purchase up to 333,333 Troops at $150 or less. Cancel Order
Waiting for activation: Purchase up to 333,333 Troops at $150 or less. Cancel Order

This was still possible and I've implemented another fix just now. Please post here if you experience this behavior in the future. It would be especially helpful if Express players try to test this.

One of your trade pact allies likely has not logged in for a long time. You can check the last login times of your allies by looking at their spy ops. I have fixed the ingame help text.

#87 must have cursed everyone.

I appreciate your common sense perspective, but some of these players get banned on purpose with the goal of convincing other people to quit the game because of their "unfair ban". We've even had players message the mods requesting a ban only to later have other players complain about that ban.

Deleted and banned for cheating.

Hi all,

smlandau84, the player superfly cheated with to win round 831, has created over a dozen game accounts in order to disrupt game play on the Express server. The game mods are working to correct this issue. On the administration side, we've implemented some new anti-cheating measures to deal with this problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Superfly falsely accused another player of being a pedophile. Would you like me to undelete his post? Is this how we play the game now? Falsely accuse each other of being pedophiles?

It's a bit much

Why would we allow someone who doesn't play the game to keep making fluffty comments everywhere that hurt the game?

You've used sports analogies in the past. Go join a local sports league, cuss out the referee to his face, and report back to us how that goes for you.

Hi Superfly, I'd be happy to stop mocking you for your comments if you stop complaining everywhere about bans. Deal?

The Alliance server community generally rewards those who are cruel to others. Players can do the most depraved fluff imaginable, even going as far as hacking the game, and they will still always be welcomed in Alliance server social spaces.

Btw this same guy was deleted dozens of times on his original account and even put the n-word in his country names. He's a super great guy though!

You must be confused. He is a "great guy" and "Definitely one of the nicest people playing express currently".

He's currently using multiple game accounts to cheat and suicide on other players, but I hear that he's a really nice guy otherwise.

Players who only play on a single server will eventually not be able to maintain their premium subscription because they won't earn points at a fast enough rate. The Cooperation server is a good second choice server for players who aren't sure where else to play.

This should be fixed now.

No, he's been farming drama on the forums instead.

If superfly thinks that what he did wasn't cheating that means that he's likely to do it again. Sanctions are only used to prevent future problems.

Who said anything about "branding you a cheater for life"? Are you trying to generate more discord drama or something? The path to you not being under military sanctions is incredibly simple.

Another player named his country after you, deliberately stole cash from other players, and funneled $8 B to you during the final hours of the set to allow you to steal the win. The primary issue here is that you are acting as if you did nothing wrong. That means that you're likely to do it again in a future round. Do you truly believe that you didn't cheat?

I R WoG SuperFly God Of War (#66) sent over $8 billion in market aid to Mr Titanium Is The Baba Yaga (#67). This was enough for Mr Titanium Is The Baba Yaga (#67) to steal an undeserved win. Without the aid he likely would have been in sixth place or so.

The rules clearly state the following: "This server does not have clans. Playing in order to benefit another player is not allowed. Working with another player to disadvantage another player is not allowed."

Both players have been placed under military sanctions and further penalties will be applied in the future.

You can spend them here: https://www.earthempires.com/portal/premium

Players used to be able to get an extra 20 acres of land if they refreshed just as the round ended. This should no longer be possible. Please post here if you experience this behavior in the future.

https://www.earthempires.com/...remium-subscription-53784

Players can now earn Premium credits by playing the game. Each country will award up to 100 Premium credits during the daily awarding of bonuses if all of the following conditions are met:

1) The first half of the round has passed.
2) The country has acquired a modest amount of land.
3) The country hasn't lost too many turns.

Countries on the FFA server will award 7 credits and countries on other game servers will award 100 points.

The cost of one month of Premium has increased to 2400 credits and all existing credit balances have been scaled up by 160X to ensure no loss of value. All player accounts have also been awarded an additional 2400 credits. The general expectation is that a player will be able to earn enough credits to continue their Premium subscription if they actively play on at least two game servers.

In the future we will need to revisit our funding model for the game. It is possible that these credit bonuses will be scaled down or removed entirely. For now, you can earn Premium status by playing and enjoying the game.

Thank you for playing Earth Empires.

This was caused by a bug that should be fixed now.

He's banned because he requested that the moderators ban him. How lame is it to request a ban then attack the moderators for fulfilling the request? Why do you do weird stuff like this instead of just playing the game?

If a player asks you to post something on his behalf it's probably because they are forum banned. A non-banned player would simply post it himself.

Every experience that I've had with Dark Demon has been positive. He seems like a nice guy who cares about the game.

It's not a problem that I can solve by myself. When a post like that shows up there are four ways to deal with it:

1) Ignore it - this normalizes abuse towards the entire game staff and makes for a bad first impression to prospective players
2) Argue with the user and defend myself - waste of time and looks unprofessional
3) Delete the post - most of the time the user will just post it again more times (see the recent llaar spam)
4) Ban the user

I've been telling folks for over a year that they need to focus on playing the game instead of doing all of this weird stuff that is outside of the game. Now we're at the point where major alliance leaders honor and encourage these disgusting acts. I expect that things are going to get a lot worse in the short term.
