So annoying..

I thought " Perg " was created to protect smaller players until there were ready to join the main realm?

If so how come there are so many LG in there, surely they are LG for a reason because they are strong players!

It seems to me that they are abusing the hole structure of why "Perg" was created?

I have just found a LG with a 30mil army in there, & damn how annoying it is! :smt013

surely something should be done about this?

Former rank 1 player (few weeks ago) is in perg...some with 55mil army and above are there.
It's the best place to live into for a stat builder with 50% and above troops killable.

Unless they're in there illegally or using a bug somehow, then what they're doing isn't "abuse."

Purgatory is a feature of the game. And like every other feature of the game, there are going to be players who use it to their strategic and fiscal advantage. Deal with it.

yes may be best place to live, but its abusing why "PERG" was created it's there to help smaller players build until they are ready to take a place in main realm, NOT for LG & rank 1 players to sit so they can become more powerful then they could in main realm!

they using it as a hide-out were they are safe, yet if there rank 1 they are there for a reason, (becasue they are good) so surely they should have to defend there resources like the rest of us?

How can people with 55m army sizes be in perg?? I thought they got kicked at like 47m or something.

Pergatory is not accessible above 39,561,644 - Currently just below 40mil.

Perg has been a joke from the start people using it to mass others and then run and hide or take planets and then hide them so they can't be taken back. Unless admin removes this then people will keep doing it - unlikely he will so shall stay a joke.

While I agree with what Mordack says saying its a feature and obviously people will use to their advantage. However the way many people use it is not what it was designed for and thus just creates more problems for the game and I think it can be agreed it has more than enough.

A few certain people who are not capable of playing the game with honor use it to go around massing/planet stealing from people they otherwise would not and then run off and hide.

Should be made so that if you have stolen a planet or hit someone cannot go for 24 hours - that way people can't hit and run and hide like rats. You cannot vac if you have hit someone within the last 24 hours so why is it that you can go to perg (which many people use as a sort of vac)?

If people go on ppt after taking a planet the person can retake it anytime within 12 hours even though they are on ppt - why can't you do that with perg?

It had good intentions but has been a failure since day 1. Something should be done about it but it wont so really discussing this is just a waste of time.

I thought purg was designed for people to run away from being extorted or bullied by larger players and/or alliances until they had at least some size to be able to deal with it.

The steal planet and run is annoying, though useful for them and is a tactic. It's like steal planet and ascend before beacons came in.

Though to me, all this means is that you should be nice to some people in purgatory so that if you are hit like that with the planet thing, you have someone who can retrieve it for you.

It's not cheating, it's not a bug, it's just the way it is. Besides there are smaller LG+1's anyway. LG+1 doesn't mean you are a strong main player necessarily, to me it more means you should be okay on ascension, but that's a different matter.

Yes - perg is flawed, and it isn't being used as it was intended - the reasons for that are many, and solutions have been suggested.

Recommend you read this thread:

Pretty sure no1 said anything about cheating or a bug so why bother with that Tekki?

Number of ascensions does not really mean a lot so being an LG+1 in perg is not much different to being a Prior in perg.

I prefere Perg, to get away from the unlimated turns.
You get your 4 turns at turn change, and 1500 from the market. Done. Thats all you have to work with.


The stratagy that can go on in there, is injoyable.

Well for starters you get 4 turns in main each turn, can still get the 1500 from market so your point would be?

Also this thread is not about why perg is good. We know exactly what perg was designed for but here we are talking about how people are abusing it so this post is just really :lol:

Let us reflect. Since you seem to be lacking.

1) Her point is that you get limited turns, you get 4/turn and 1500 each week. Not as many as you can buy a day.

2) Your post is really "lol" since it wasn't needed either. So what is your point here except trying to make a fool of yourself while picking on a lady? I don't know. Perhaps you need a hug, where is Jack? JACK! HE NEEDS A HUG!

3) Perg would be a fun place except for a person like me, those turns are not sufficient. ;)
