I'm on level 21 and I'm seriously considering giving up the game cos I can't do anything with the lack of storage. It's an obvious ploy to make money by forcing me to buy pearls. And I'm not going to do that. Mostly because I feel the game is trying to force me to do it.

So now I can't plant much, I can't reap much, I can't build much and I can't manufacture much. So what the hell is the point?

At first I thought it would be a nice event, so I deceided to take a go at it. Prepared a lot of stuff in advance. Got the balloons loaded, the requests full and ready and waiting till it started on my side of the pond.
After I took got rid of all the things I prepared, it stopped. The new requests were all about stuff that takes HOURS to produce and no villagers show up.
Furthermore does the price of items to buy for tickets go up ludicrously every time though the reward for filling an order stays as low as with the start.
To me this feels like a big hoax to push you into spending money.
I will not be partaking in it again.

I love the game. Haven't felt forced to spend money, pearls are just the right amount of difficult to ome by - not too easy but not too hard, either. Game is easy to learn, the graphics are delightful, and I have really enjoyed playing it.

There are a couple of things I find boring - the underwater islands are repetitive, and the production times for the foundation stones is far too long. Also there is so little interaction with other players, it kind of leaves me wondering what the point of friends and followers is -and why so few?

Other than that, I love it.

I am at level 82 and the game is getting soooooooo repetitive You get very little rewards anymore. The game is very stingy with its pearls. I would think the higher you go the more pearl rewards you should get. I know you want us to spend $$$ for them but we need more pearl rewards. Also, when will the coming soon areas be finished. Like by the castle area. and in the store area.

Hi,
It's 6 Aug 2017 (since I can't find any recent posts I thought I'd add this).
I am at level 97 and my castle is finished. What else is there to do now? Besides buying and selling? What is the purpose?
If that is all that's left, count me out.
Regards and have fun,

Until there is an update the highest you can get is Level 125.

Meanwhile, as we wait for the update, you can dive to raise your ability to gather magic with what you earn on a dive. I'm at 115 and still haven't raised all the fountains to maximum magic gathering ability. Also, you can work on the achievements and put up extra baskets and sell things that people always seem to need, and of course get the other islands and Pete to buy your excess amber. I have decided to use up all of the elements I've gathered that can't be used to raise magic levels to make stuff the newer players need to rebuild their islands.

If you do leave for a time, be really nice and remove all of your Friend links. I find that the majority of the people who decided to follow me have decided at one level or another to leave and left without de-Friending me. That means 22 islands I can look at that nothing is being done on and I cannot buy anything from. Greatly irritating. Be thoughtful and remove your links so others can be seen on the list who ARE active.

I thank anyone who does this.

Thanks Guideo,
I can't dive at the moment, nothing happening on that side of the island. Yes, all I do lately is make stuff that takes forever and the sell it for those who need it.
Not sending any balloons up, not selling to villagers, I already have storage for 900 items. Methinks that's enough. So I don't want anymore tools, ropes or blueprints.
Maybe it's time for another game...
Thank you for the info, Guideo and enjoy the game!

Magda,

I hope you're still here, since the UPDATE CAME!! There is more palace to build and PUMPKIN PIE!!

You can work up to a satisfying end by telling yourself you'll quit when that corner of the palace is finished and that's it. Feels less of a let down and more of a finish then. I've got over 900 storage units, and I've decided I'll go to 1000. After that? ...

well I have now reached level 100, I really enjoy this game but see it going no where any more? I have over 1 million gold coins ( not bought) 229 pearls ( not bought) 323 event tokens, 300 green stones,277 blue, 139 yellow,and 58 red stones,I have opened those islands which I am able to, four in total in my game.1000 storage.
I am a little fed up with seeing coming soon on further building, no weekend event last week, not that its interesting any more, so can anyone tell me what is coming to stop the boredom please?
I help small players by diving still and selling amber bits etc,just feel sad to leave this game without finishing the palace or opening the other island.
I note that since this forum is not available in the game anymore and is not supported like it used to be, I doubt new players even know it exists.

Just be glad you can still get into the game! Since the update, those of us on W8 can't even open it. And the Support Team are saying nothing.

That's a shame, seems maybe the tech team are losing interest too no new challenges etc and not aiding you either, perhaps they feel the game has gone on long enough, but new players are joining all the time.

As a long time player of MMORPGs (the biggies - Everquest, WoW, EVE, etc.), I think what this tiny team (5 designers and 8 programmers) has been able to create is pretty fantastic, especially as it has to be cross-platform and in 10 languages. The Android platform and Google are VERY particular in requirements for games on their platform as it is.

This is called "end game fatigue", and even in games with MASSIVE development teams like WoW, you hit a level wall and there's nothing to do. In WoW, you do dailies, help younger players maybe, raid, PvP, but you're still waiting EONS for an update. Sure it's a much larger game but that team isn't dealing with cross-platform development nearly as much, and yet there's a big update maybe once every 2 years.

Meanwhile here they're not being greedy about pearl buying. I could play the game without buying a single pearl. That's VERY rare for P2P games. Go play Lords Online without buying gems as an example, and you're set on fire constantly and progress - if there is any - is frustrating as all get out and ridiculously slow - literally nearly a YEAR to reach a defensible castle level if you can withstand the enemy onslaught that long. You can progress here without a single pearl. Added bonus- enemy players aren't setting you on fire constantly.

When given the option to buy pearls for very special items like the upgrade to the panda dance pad, I do it, because these people have created a delightful, happy game that is a fun escape. I'll hit end game eventually, I'm not rushing it, and if they keep developing it, I'll be happy. When i do hit end game, I'll probably just hang out and look at my for now completed island and enjoy watching the villagers for a little bit every day. One suggestion is to have them talk more, though I understand the translation time can be a pain. That would be neat.

I see that there are events coming up for things like Halloween and some potato fest or something and Christmas, all things to look forward to for us newer players. Maybe they'll put in some spring fest next year with eggs hidden, that sort of thing.

But yeah, a TINY development team creating such a fun little happy game is wonderful, they've updated it once already since I started playing, and I've recommended it to all of my friends.

Hi LADYT59, if you are referring to the foundation bricks, they can be made in the Sculptors Station, to make a foundation brick you need 3 bricks and 2 ambers, it will take three hours to make a foundation brick.

Review/Suggestion for Devs...

FIX the followers feature to have it actually function the way they designed it, which is to give us more markets to visit to get things we need.

By NOT fixing this MUCH COMPLAINED ABOUT feature, they are hurting the players, having a lot of angry players, and a lot of players are getting fed up and quitting. That's a sad thing, but also not what they want.

Considering the number of problems and the number of complaints about Followers, I can not understand WHY this feature hasn't long ago been fixed.

Suggestions...
1) Rotate the followers list more frequently (currently seems it's once every 1 or 2 days, but sometimes it seems I don't see a follower for a week or more and I only have 100 followers)
2) Program the game so "inactive" players (not played in a month or two) do not show in the followers list - when our list is filled day after day with inactive players, the Followers list is USELESS (not what they wanted or they wouldn't have created a Followers list in the first place)
3) Give us a "remove a follower" button so we can remove players that WE DO NOT WANT following us - for example, inactive players, market raiders, etc.

Because they're not doing programming to limit market purchasing, letting us REMOVE followers (#3 above) such as raiders helps in MULTIPLE ways...
* players [Removed by Moderator] quick the game,
* our markets stay filled more often to actually help our followers get items they need,
* our markets don't get raided causing others to stop following US,
* which means we have more followers to visit and get things we need,
* and all of these overall help the game be more enjoyable - which is part of the point (happy players = more players = more money for them).

SERIOUSLY, if the developers actually care about... keeping players around, whether players ENJOY playing the game, and about player feedback, fixing this much complained about feature should be near the TOP of their list of fixes. (I'd take this fix over a new expansion any day, and I imagine many others would as well.)

Otherwise... players will keep leaving (or giving bad reviews deterring new players) and there won't BE a game later. If they want to keep making money from players, they need to KEEP the players.

Why don't devs offer instructions on how to play a game. I have no clue as to what i am doing in this game because i have no direction,. Would love to play it, if i knew how.
