I still don't see how this is an issue. The list is sorted by the most recently viewed worlds. If you don't want to see them, don't scroll down - problem solved.

Its a feature that was disabled because quark had gotten tired of newbies crying and then messaging support about accidently abandoning worlds. Like i said before, there are a lot of worlds to enter. if you abandon one by accident then it should be tough luck. We should not have to have live with clutter on our screen because some newbies screw up thier games by abandoning them by accident.

If i were support i would not even deal with someone who accidently abandoned without perhaps having them pay a small fee to get it back.

Maybe 100 gold would be a fair price to re-enter an abandoned world.

Just a flick of a switch to turn it back on is all that will fix it. Very simple


With the TBS worlds, abandoning lead to several major bugs due to the troops outside the cities. Abandoning a world maybe (surely) create(d) big problems on Valor, that Quark isn't able to fix (and yes, some cried because their fingers slept on the abandon button while it had to slide on the attack one...).
So the easiest way for Quark to fix everything and bring the promised impossibility to abandon while attacked, was to disable the abandoning...

But the issue that we here are asking, for long, isn't to bring the abandon option back, but to bring a new option that's only an interfacing: having the opportunity to hide several worlds on the main screen, in order to have only the one we're using...

I think a novice programmer could add the feature in a work day, but as it has already been said: Quark has soooooo much plenty lots huge great problems to face n fix ;-P

I'm not forgetting that at all. It's not a matter of newbies crying, its a matter of them screwing up and then quitting in frustration. Newbies turn into paying customers, and bring more newbies in, and etc. If support had that attitude about newbies, it would drive them away.

As far as a flick of a switch to turn it on, you're probably right. However, it would take it back to the previous situation, that Quark has already decided is untenable for them.

Thats not the point firefall. It takes up clutter on our screens.

Even the world we had won i cant delete it. so over time im going to have dozens of worlds that have no buisness being there.

Maybe a "hide world" button would be a quick fix.

Ps atm i have 6 worlds on my portal. Im only playing 2 atm the others are old and want to get rid of them somehow but cant.

I would like to abandon a world and i'm not able to. Causing an unfair reality to the world i want to get out of. Making the other players in that world having to either cap me or destroy my city. How fair is that?

if you abandon a world by mistake its your own fault for not paying attention. Kinda like accidently deleating an important file from your computer.

Which from what i've read is the reasoning behind not being able to abandon.

Its gone, move on and be more careful next time

That's a good news and the sooner the better.

When you say it's a feature that will return in the future, what does "future" means? Weeks, months ...?
