    Some of you linked to websites that offer help against them. I know it’s well-meant, and we appreciate your openness to help, but these services don’t support anything our developers already do.

    Everyone is working non-stop to counteract these attacks. As mentioned above in the statement, there is no premade fix against DDoS attacks. Especially when the attackers change tactics after our countermeasures are in place. And that's why DDoS attacks are so frustrating: There is always a race of resources included in defending against them and who is adding more hardware faster. Don't get me wrong, this is not the only thing we do. I won't go into details, because it will only help the wrong crowd. Plus, the attackers are switching targets. Remember the first attack when even the forum was down shortly after we published that first statement? At least, they have learned that we have more channels to communicate with our players and don't target the forum anymore.


    Long story short: Yes, we do actions. But we don't share the details. That doesn't mean we don't care about our players. We do.

    What a joke.... !!!!!!

    stop the server and solve the problem, how do you decide to start the server, why are we wasting time and you are spitting in our faces? Your words don't make it easy for me. Income cannot be credited to the game, and this is not allowed.

    roll back the server to 16.00 when the problem appeared and we will play from that moment

    I am sorry. But when I buy a new car they don't give me one without engine and wheels, explaining that it's not their fault they have problems and I have to deal with it myself. Come on.

    Either something works or it doesn't.

    Is it hard for you to make a truce for 24 hours if you have problems? - then fix/fight to your heart's content. BUT DON'T HURT OTHERS.


    Think out there.


    *No one has the will or strength to fight with you on forum, discord, help center. It's not our job but yours. We all have our own lives, our own problems and OUR WORK to do.

    We do care about our players a lot! And most of our players don't even pay money to play our game.

    That statement reads very bad. I choose to not spend a dime on this game, since I dont agree with the way it's currently managed and reading that sounds like you're playing F2P players for leeching.


    If I could pay $10 per month or $100 once I would love to play TK servers like Old Test. Each player gets 300 gold per week and NOTHING else. Make the game about skill and choices again, instead of about what royal team can spend the most.

    Yes you do the talk but I'm yet to see you walking. And apparently you have no idea what you are talking about. There is tools to fight against DDoS attacks, if you have been told something else you have been lied to. Please don't play us fools.

    It feels like Travian Games is only concerned with money. As long as enough money comes in, it doesn't matter if everything is fair.


    The effort put into the game is minimal... There's no other way I can explain why there haven't been any major innovations for ages.

    Another example is the app: to this day, it is not even close to the current technological standard compared to other developers. For a game or app from a company that had a turnover of almost 22 million euros in 2020, you should really expect more.


    But no: as long as the "whales" throw in enough money, you can also be morally flexible.

    Maybe everyone needs to step away from the keyboard for a while.


    Personally I don't blame TK for what has happened, their Company is the victim in all this & I do think they will be working hard to try & stabilize everything again.


    I imagine those responsible for this are very amused by the reactions they are causing, this is exactly what they want to happen, lets think about the bigger picture here, Botters & Bot Companies don't want you to enjoy the game if they can't exploit it however they wish, the fact that this is a consequence of harsher punishments is very telling in itself.


    So why feed the machine that ruins the game we all love? We have been crying out for harsher punishments for so long & now we have them being introduced, we have to also accept there will be some abusers not very happy at that & that's why we are were we are today.

    But is it hard to call a truce?

    No one would say anything bad then....

    But what for? Yes it is their fault. They are passive.

    Maybe its time to freeze the server and roll it back a few days. I know you do not wish to reward those who are causing this but there is a lot of players who lost troops because of the ddoss not due to starvation. How are we supposed to feel knowing our game is trashed and we have no recourse to get back what we lost to no fault of our own?


    Had the ddoss not happened, my troops would be alive today. Those are not lost due to game mechanic but to lost management of the server itself. That is not our fault as players.

    In the greater picture i totaly agree with you. But you shouldnt forget, that right know some of the biggest servers in a year are running and lots of people payed during those servers because they had certain expectations. And they have a right to get compensated for the fact, that they did not get what they paid for. That is why the people are angry. Not because of the problems, but because of the way they are handled. Every other decend online game, stops the servers, celars the problem and gives compensation for the missed time or resets to an older status. Thats the standard. But for some resons thats not possible here. And nobody can or want to give a logical, and costumer orientated explanation why this is the case.

    I agree with the fact that in current bbash game worlds are far from what game should be and it seem to be more like test server for new harder punishments than proper competition. However I 100% support the cause TK team is now fighting for. I'm happy to see the issue finally being addressed and I wish after this space is over, we will see in future a strong Turkish kingdom showing if they can claim a victory in clean battle or not. Not all turkish players are trash without their bots and multiaccounts, they just need to learn how to play this game as it is intended :) those who can't play without their bots, I don't mind leaving the game.
