    Fedupwife. Sorry but your husband might. sorry if this hurts or I am wrong. however I have seen many people on this game do exactly what you are stating. Spending more money than they have and also the "relationships" that go on. Private chats are common and even the alliance chats get racey.

The other app is Line app which almost all GOW players use to communicate outside the game. Pictures and other content can be sent via this app. If you are concerned you have aright to be. you need to see the private chats he has had. Better to deal with this head on rather than wondering. Once again I apologise but I got caught up in one of those relationships in GOW and it was horrible when I look back on it.… Expand

    Been playing this for 6 months now, level 21 SH, 60m power etc, timers are now ridiculously long and unless you're prepared to spend big the game has come to an absolute standstill! Had two weeks off whilst on holiday and to be perfectly honest i felt relief that I'd disowned it, I'm just about to log out for last time and let whoever pillage my account, I'm outa there!

    Nicely designed game and pretty fun to play. Unfortunately, you come under the thumb of a huge bully alliance that dictates their own rules as to what resources you can farm and when you can do it under the threat of attack which largely prevents other players from progressing in the game. The game makers need to address this issue.

    After the attacker has gone the troops in the hospital are revived and your resources are safe in the silo.

    The game is good enough but what i don't like about these online games is that they ask for money to finish the tasks quickly which makes no sense.In a game the skills of the players should be tested not his bank balance,what's the point of becoming the strongest player by spending money to buy gold,time and other gems.I would have given the game 8 rating but deducted 2 from it solely dueThe game is good enough but what i don't like about these online games is that they ask for money to finish the tasks quickly which makes no sense.In a game the skills of the players should be tested not his bank balance,what's the point of becoming the strongest player by spending money to buy gold,time and other gems.I would have given the game 8 rating but deducted 2 from it solely due to the the above reason.… Expand

    Gamers I have been playing MMO games for 15 years, jumped to GoW late 2014 and became addicted with the game as I played it more and more. As the game became more popular MZ drifted away from what had made them one of the most popular games declaring war on your fellow GoWers.

As the game became more popular MZ drifted away from what had made them one of the most popular games declaring war on your fellow GoWers. The game states it is FreeToPlay which isn’t far from the truth but has drifted more to SpendToPlay. The game has focused on the concept of constantly keeping up with changes never giving you an opportunity to enjoy the changes as they are presented to the game (a lot more can be said here), increased the power goals to gain prizes which can only be achieved by spending hundreds of dollars, their customer service has become nonexistent. According to fellow gamers when tickets have been submitted they tend to point the blame at the gamer, the phone and to for the majority of the time they tend to ignore them and when it pertains to money spent (purchasing a pack and not receiving it or being taken away) they say that you would have to contact itunes which then it becomes a never ending circle of communication with no solution. Careful what you get into when playing this game, STAY AWAY!!!!… Expand

    Overall, as my rating suggest, I was not impressed by this game. And no, I did not quit playing after two days. I had it for a couple of months and left the game at stronghold level 19 and 13 million power (well, you will know what those things mean if you try the game).

And no, I did not quit playing after two days.

    First off, the visuals are terrible and the game runs very slowly. We are in 2015 already and the game visuals reminds me of snake games back in the 1990's.
    As for the gameplay, I would say the unique feature of this game is the existence of many alliances. The alliance structure is quite different from the notion of clan in clash of clans. Here you're city is usually location, physically, in the alliance hub (although not necessarily). On the world map, you can see many hives belonging to different alliances. I like this feature overall, esp. given the chat mechanism and the types of people who are on chat channels. They are usually really protective of the alliance members and consider each other "family". Lot's of love and hearts going on. Which is nice.
    However, the biggest problem with this game is that there is almost no way for a beginner to enjoy the game. The upgrade times get really long at higher levels, resource production is slow, and you are under constant siege from much much stronger cities. I had 100k troops and 100k traps and then a 325k army would attack and destroy everything and lose almost nothing (maybe 100 soldiers). It was ridiculous. Then there is the hero capturing and execution. Your alliance might kick you out if you get your hero executed several times. The only easy way to win is of course to spend money but you have to spend a lot of it.
    Finally, I hated the concept of gifts in the game. They sound ridiculous and are a waste of time.    … Expand

    The game is great when it's working properly. Problem is when the actions heats up the game glitches and freezes you out. You reload to find your city burning. MZ customer service is a joke.

    Sure, Game of War - Fire Age isn't a great game, but the people playing it are an entertaining bunch indeed.

    Game of War: Fire Age takes some important steps toward something truly revolutionary, but it lacks the gameplay advances to make it all the way there. It's likely to appeal to the same players who enjoyed the games that preceded it, yet it feels like a missed opportunity for everyone else.
