Perhaps a registration fee could be charged which approximates the revenue PlayMesh would expect to earn out of one world. Every player pays the fee to enter the world then earns gold through completion of quests and competitions. Gold then would flow to the most successful players and guilds which would cause the world to evolve and resolve more quickly.

Seems a pointless whine tiTMS, it is a war game and some people are strong and others are smart, some are both and others are neither. Fight them and kill or be killed. Such is the ways of the world

Truce prevents both incoming attacks and outgoing attacks. While you are in truce you are not able to send out any attack waves.

Truce also has a 24 hour cooldown. So no matter how long you used Truce (max of 24 hours or little as 1 minute) before it was cancelled you must wait 24 hours before it is used again.

So at the very most a person who buys Truce every time they can will be open to attacks every other day.


Sorry Orlor, I've never used it, still don't like it though :/

Well - some people use hundreds (a few even thousands) of gold on the first week. Other players - who are also skilled - use the same amount over the course of an entire world. It is part of the game - and just another thing you need to work out to win a world. It might make your life easier with gold but it won't win a world for you.

As for the beginning of the game - some of us are able to grow way faster than others, without spending gold. To get academy within BP - you need to spend loads of gold. But to grow much faster than most - you need skill and time

I think while some gold use does not effect the impact the game, a fast farmer can counteract res boosts, an active player can keep q's full however no level of skill or activity can stop you being attacked

Does it really matter?

I agree perhaps have a world where there is no store etc for the use of coins however I don't think you can say gold only worlds as people won't use gold that much..

No, the rally point is where you get your troops assembled to attack. If your rally point is destroyed, all attacks and defenses are essentially knocked out.
