For you allowed us buy rows so we can, keep more cards, but because they are not in a preset , are you saying we loose those cards now. all the time we invested in them to be Strong cards +6 cards. I switch them around to what scenario Im involved in; in attacking or defending. I would expect you would refund all money to those who purchased tokens and what not to grow. Atherstones , troops lost gathering, etc... and a monetary value towards ones time invested!!!! I think it be more effective to bring all active cards, in rows purchased, with those players who own them. Please let us know.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO.....lol.

IF you happen to be one of the folks that ends up being on one or more domain that is getting merged together...the FIRST cards that will get merged are the ones from your presets in both domains...then, your remaining cards...starting at the highest might value ones from both domains will get moved over until your inventory is full.

If you are only in one domain...the ONLY thing that will change for you is the domain number

12 rows x 5 slots each = 60 TR items.

IT hasn't been posted yet, as they are still working on it...but, it will be posted in advance so that players with concerns can have them addressed.

I don't care about that one, but only added it since it might hose me up on this merger. I have similar setups on both active domains. If they merge my cities I will lost all the DIs, SIs, DPs, and SPs purchased on one of them. Not sure I like that. I already have a hard time feeding the troops I have on each...there is no way to feed double the troops with 8 cities when I can't do it with 16. I am already un-loved by so many people trying to feed them. haha I would rather they take one to send to the merged domain and one to a random merged domain. I assume other people have similar issues/concerns. I am also worried what my Throne Room would like after the merger. I understand they are just taking the Tr from 1 Domain?

The DI/SI/DP/SP situation is being looked at...but, the first step they are working on is trying to minimize the amount of people this happens to. Everyone just needs to relax on this topic until they post what domains are going where. After that comes out...if you still have issues...then express them. They are looking at ways to compensate the players that do fall under this circumstance.

And NO, they are not just taking the TR from 1 domain. Unless you are only in one of the domains being merged.

IF you are in 2 domains that are getting merged together...the items you have in your presets on both domains will move to the new domain FIRST...followed by the rest of the cards from both domains...starting with the highest might value ones...until you TR Inventory in the new domain is full (60 items)

If you had read the FAQ..you WILL be keeping all troops, resources, knights and items from both domains.

Another problem is; (Possibly a more serious problem) You lose all your investment in the excess cities that will be lost. There is no mention of reimbursment for all the gems you spent on those excess cities

There are some ppl on here that all in favor of the merge, without thinking about the bad side effects. These issues should be resolved before hand and not in hindsight.

Actually...compensating players that might find themselves in this situation HAS been mentioned...several times. Everyone just needs to relax and wait to see what domains are going where..and IF they happen to get caught in that situation, then...express your concerns. Freaking out and ranting about all the stuff you are "going to lose"...even though you have no idea if you are actually going to lose it, really doesn't make a lot of sense.

My self I could count on 1 hand how many tournaments I won gems on or a di or better. You ask about from earning city deeds... what a total of 4-5 DI's from them maybe an SI (don't remember been a while since I did cities). Even if you count the times the game got fked up and we were given them as compensations.. it ain't all that many. I know they can look at a persons account to see when gems were spent, obviously they can't be asked to go into that detail for every player in the game, but how hard is it to see if a second domain is merging what the building levels were and then minus the items that would have been used from winning in the quests.
You also mention Merlin and winning.. I can say I went over a year without seeing a DI EVER in it. And have never seen an SI, DP, or SP in it at anytime except special events.

And I don't think they should give them gem amounts back... I mean that is asking too much in my opinion. I mean come on most of the whiners wouldn't buy the items for the cities with the gems anyway. But if given what they bought they shouldn't feel the need to complain they got what they had, and if they do shame on them. I mean I would rather have the items so i could max a city and then if I have left over so be it. I bought it I got it back... Honestly if I got the gems for them I probably wouldn't buy the same items either... just being honest.

They are looking into the compensation thing...hell, I have one account where EVERY building is a Lv10 or better, I know they cost money. But, I also haven't been to that domain in a LONG time. It got boring long ago, so I moved to another domain and started over...it happens...players have been doing that for a long time. Do I think I should be given back the items for those buildings if my domains get merged? No...I DON'T PLAY THERE ANY MORE. If I was worried about the money I spent on that domain...I would still be playing there. The money I spent there served it's purpose...I don't pay to watch a movie then go back to the theater a month later and demand my money back because they stopped showing the movie. SAME THING. This is a source of entertainment...just like going to the movies, going out to a club or anything else people do to entertain themselves. It is not an investment that you should be expecting a return on your money.

Has anyone stopped to think that they might merge more than 2 domains together. MY domain like most other domains have about 350 active. Some other domains may have slightly more or slightly less than 350. So if 300 of those 350 move to the new domain from both domains that is 700 people. Doesn't make sense now does it? They will probably be merging 10 or so domains together to get roughly 3500 people into a single domain as this would give a good 40 alliances if the current limit stays intact of 100 members per alliance and the rumor of 200 is false.

For all we know they could merge 20 domains together and put 7,000 people into one domain... would be awesome if that is actually how its gonna work.

Also will everyone have a grace period of truce protection till most get settled and set up ie getting wilds and setting up new raids and such.

This IS actually how it is going to work.

Several new domains will be created and they will be filled with as many old domains as it requires to fill them. I am still trying to get an idea of what "full" is actually considered.

And yes...troop desertion will be turned off for the inception of the merge and all players will be placed in a sort of "Beginner's Protection" for a period to allow everyone to get settled in and acquainted with the folks on the new domain.
