Elvenar Dev Tracker

Hmmmm.... How about the sleepy "ZZzzz's" like when the Manus are idle? Or would that be as annoying?  

To be honest, it is not the best idea, but neither it is a terrible one. I will forward this one to our devs to consider

Also, a toggle on/off to avoid "having the city filled with red Es" like @Gargon667 mentions!  

Discontinuation of iOS 9 support

Dear Humans and Elves,

From 23 March 2021 onwards, Elvenar's iOS version will only be playable on devices using iOS version 10.0 or higher. If you are using a device running on iOS 9, please update your device's iOS version.

There are no changes to the availability of the game on other platforms. You can continue playing Elvenar through the desktop version, which you can find by accessing https://elvenar.com/ from your PC. Alternatively, Elvenar is of course available on Android devices as well.

If you require assistanc... Read more

@DaisyButton Probably because there was a 3-way tie for 50th.  

We do not have any maintenance today @Wowwie
Please raise a ticket and we can help you get back onto the game.  

We do have our moments as we are actively recruiting still for Support as we are a little thin on the ground. But we do go through every last one with a fine tooth comb.
We know how damaging some of these selfish players can be to the gamE. After all we are all here as we love Elvenar and choose to spend our time and efforts not only playing but helping our fellow players too (she said heading off to get cracking on the Spire)  

Unfortunately that could penalise many players who get ahead using Diamonds to purchase Knowledge Points, Goods, Units etc: to get ahead in the game quickly. It could also lead to players no longer wishing to participate in the Knowledge Points swap threads, for fear of it looking unbalanced and also then being penalised.
By having the team investigate, this then takes into consideration more factors than a programme could.
After all the aim is to just have players wanting to adhere to the rules as they are there to give fair gameplay for us all.  

That is far from the case @Gargon667 and many players have been banned from the game, when they are unable to adhere to the Game Rules.
These bans can be applied for short periods of 1-7 days or indefinitely if a player refuses to adhere to the rules.
Please bear in mind that by NOT reporting to us, you are also in breach of our rules and all we require in Support is the name of the account/s and the World. We make it this simple to encourage our players to help us keep Elvenar a fair game for us all.
Ultimately we do of course prefer to educate the players than impose account limits, many do ... Read more

We would hope that if you suspected any player of operating a push account that you would be letting us know in Support, to be able to investigate the account/s again as per the Game Rule 9.

§9 Report breach of rules

• If you believe someone is breaking the rules, you can contact the Support team and report it. Knowingly benefiting from another player breaking the rules is prohibited. If you think you have benefited from a breach of rules, please report this.
• It is forbidden to incite other players to commit a rule violation. The attempt is punishable and need to be reported.

 

Please bear though in mind it is against the Game Rules to have more than one account even on the same internet connection within the same Fellowship. Somehow that appears to have been overlooked in this thread.

§7 Pushing

• Operating a “push-account” is forbidden. This is defined as unbalanced routine resource (resources, Knowledge Points etc.) transfers from one account to the next even if involved accounts do not belong to the same player.
• It is forbidden to create trades in any form (goods, Knowledge Points etc.) that involve multiple worlds.
• Please note that it is strictly forbidden to use the invite feature to invite yourself or players that share an internet connection with you.

Dear Humans and Elves,

We received your feedback and concerns about posting certain third-party links. We understand how helpful are some of these links for our fellowship adventures and events. Therefore, we are going to make a few amendments in regards to our third-party linking rule.

• We will allow third-party links as we used to, so you will post these third-party tools at the forums.
• Please, remember that we appreciate the usual links available at every event. However, we do not appreciate links that hold spam or information that will not contribute to the Elvenar gaming experience.
• We want to remind you of rule #5 and rule #15 to avoid unnecessary issues. In fact, it is always a good time to give a refresher read to our ...

So.... this was a difficult decision to make. From a personal perspective we really do appreciate the work that goes into these third party sites because lets face it, people have taken time out of their busy lives to collate this information. And yes it's information pertinent to the game hence the reason why we turned a blind eye previously on allowing them. However, we found (both historically and recently) that there is a lot of confusion as to the ownership of these sites, in addition to the way the information is supplied, as some of the information is heavily outdated. Only recently there was a heated discussion regarding calculations and which site was more accurate.
As a Team we are unable to moderate these discussions efficiently and fairly, and also found that this lead to confusion for players looking for accurate information.
Whilst we are not suppressing personal recommendations for these sites (as I'm sure you will continue do), we are ask... Read more

As you quite correctly say we already have this within our Forum Rules 14: Advertising:

• Threads and/or posts that are created solely for the purpose of advertising other websites without connection to Elvenar, or InnoGames GmbH are forbidden.

Hence we are asking that the links to external sites are no longer posted across the forum as they have gradually begun to be so.
Any spoilers about events that have not even happened on our server, should be kept with the Beta section of this Forum. This has always been our request, since the first Beta thread was introduced in 2017. Just because we have recently permitted a larger Beta section here, does not mean that the rules for Beta spoilers has ceased to apply and they can be placed anywhere on the Forum.
We are drawing attention to the links in this way now as a reminder in the hope that we will have less of our community feeling the need to message, report and raise tickets. ... Read more

We have always asked that links be pertinent and pertaining to InnoGames and Elvenar.
External links are not always obviously not ours, especially to our newer players. Not only that we cannot be held accountable for the safety and security issues that sites outside of our control may cause.
Multiple complaints have been received concerning these from players reporting here on the Forum and also contacting Support to escalate further.
To prevent the need to have to explain that we have no affiliation with any of these 'other' sites has bought us back to only permitting our own links on the Forum.  

Any External links that do not originate from InnoGames or Elvenar @Gargon667
We cite Beta as we are aware that players like to share Beta information, but that must be contained with the Beta setion here and not leaked out onto any other part of the Forum.
Too many players have been upset and this is not what the Forum is about.
