So twenty weeks have passed and so much has been done, but still so much ahead of us… Right now the teams are working on the secret stuff to surprise you over the summer, as technical implementations continue to be done.
Also the numbers of this week in terms of tasks/bugs were surprising, it has been a long time since we did not have any duplicate entries and so few bugs reported.
The browser version
Just this week we have implemented an improve UI for the market.
We have already collected some interesting feedback about this new UI and the game designers are looking into that valued feedback.
The app version
For the next update, the tem improved the behaviour of the search dialogs in the ranking screens and besides we were able to fix a lot of bugs. With this we hope to provide our players a better flow of the app and make your Grepolis experience even better!

Looking for answers to the important questions, like: Why have we never been to an empty room?
Hello Ricardo Vitoriano
Hello InnoGames
I have some questions in response to a discussion on a Grepolis Forum about that the public beta right now, is ‘testing’ something new, to be precise they are selling troopbonusses for money like, 10, 20 and 80 euros.
Alot of people and also myself are wondering if it is a TEST for the real play server? or it is just a limited offer only for the beta?
We hope with all our hearts that this will not become to the real play servers.
Do you know if there are any plans to use this on the real Grepolis servers? If so I have some more questions for you
What do you or InnoGames think about the gap between Premium and non-Premium players? (There will always be a little gap).
What are you thoughts about that Grepolis becomes TOO much pay to win, less strategy?
I hope I will receive a honest answer.
Grepolis is our favorite game, please don’t ruin it.
Greetings
A Grepolis player
I have seen the 2015 roadmap and I see these posts about game development and yet what do we get…warfare packages on the beta.
The game needs to be profitable of course but surely you must understand there is a balance and that as a game we need the free players, the admin users and the heavier gold users as together we all make a rewarding and fun server if you destroy the ability of the free players to even compete you will ultimately kill the game.
Having seen the effects of the hen event on a new server if this goes live you will pretty much destroy the game for most free or basic gold users at the start of a server.
I implore some common sense to prevail for the good of the game.
It’s come to my attention that it’s possible that inno could soon be implementing an idea where you may almost directly buy troops ingame with real money. This idea is currently in place in the beta version of grepolis and I hope that it does not proceed any further than that. I am not alone in this hope. On both the Dutch and International Grepolis Forums, petitions have been started against this idea and they are getting very strong support from the players (i’ll post the links to both petitions down below). Please hear the players out on this issue.

“Right now the teams are working on the secret stuff to surprise you over the summer”
Secret stuff to surprise us, or to disturb the balance of the game with troops/3x BP for sale?
The battle bundles was/is a test on going in the beta community, the secret stuff was actually the commander of rome
Any idea when the Archers bug will be fixed? Their defensive stats were changed in 2.75 but not updated on the farming villages, which I assume is due to the fact that farms are programmed in separately.
This results in a loss of 100 blunt defense and 100 range defense for the 6th farm. And 150/150 for the 8th farm.
Obviously this makes it easier for players to conquer the farms but it’s enough to throw off the simulator, making it impossible to calculate the exact number of units needed to conquer the farms with no units left over.
Good day devs,
It’s nice to know we can communicate in some way with you guys directly. That said i hope everyone who has posted comments about latest events get approved rather than not approving posts just cause they give a bad review.
I’ve been playing Grepolis for 3 years now.Back when i joined the game was actually balanced to some extent. I obviously wasn’t aware of most things when i did join but now i know a fair bit about grepolis. Today i’ve actually quit playing grepolis because of you guys. Because of where you guys are taking this game. The direction Grepolis is going is where no grepo player wants it to go. Starting last year or so you guys implemented Gold trading,Instant buy,more and more events with the ability to use gold to get more items,The latest event even had a daily ranking just so you guys can gain a little more from them. We understand the game needs a revenue to actually go on but this is simply ridiculous.Your latest gimmick is to implement warfare packages where players can directly buy troops+bonuses for money. I’m sure there are plenty comments on this thread about the petition running across 3 servers only. Out of which 1 is hardly that active. Here is the EN forums petition,

Not a single soul(except for those who use their wallets to play the game) wants this implemented. And this is only gone across 3 servers…yet. More players will see what you’re testing on beta and start petitions. Whether you for once…wait i think it would be the second time you listened to the community if you all decide to not implement this. First time being the petition about Harbor checks. Over 5 years of grepo and you guys hardly listen to the community anymore,everyone agrees how much imbalance instant buy and other gold features bring. buy you guys don’t care anymore. The only thing grepo devs care about is now to earn more money.
There are way more pressing issues in grepolis,but all you guys care about is gold.3 years ago you promised us a WW revamp and yet we’re still to see one. How hard can it seriously be,there must be over 100 of end game suggestions made on forums across all the servers is it that hard to honestly read them and possible pick one end game and go about developing that before you do anything else?
2015 roadmap has no WW revamp either.
“Endgame
We have been carrying out that one for quite some time and we actually cannot promise when we will tackle this topic. We definitely want to come up with more features where alliances can compete against each other and not only through sending resources to world wonders.”
It’s easy for you guys to put your heads together and come up with more and more gold features but you’ll still cant seem to think of an endgame?how pathetic!
Grepolis is losing good players day by day cause of you’ll and your stupid gold features. The game is literally pay to win now. World are opened only with and event and you guys are testing gold features on beta now even without a forum announcement.
This shows how much you’ll care about “community feedback”
you guys got rid of those monthly polls about ideas,there are bugs that still needs to be resolved,buy all you guys seem to care about are events+gold
You guys implement this new stupid feature and you will see a even bigger drop in the amount of players.
Bring back the old grepo!
where the game was balanced and you still made an income!
The game players actually want to play,bring a new endgame!
Most of all try to atleast listen to player feedback…
The direction you guys seem to be taking grepolis now seems to be it’s final year or so. Stop runing the game!!!
And if you guys actually care about players feedback approve all the comments you might have on this thread
thank you(even though it’s not worth saying at this moment)
