Probably by now it has been merged with other servers, maybe even merged twice or possibly three times. See if you have an email ten years ago with the server name on it. You can also maybe go by the server number - e.g. int25, in the URL line that you used to sign in to Tentlan.That might be a start in tracing the mergers. Try https://tentlan.gamehelper.net to see all of the past and current server numbers. A server with an 'm' in it means it is a merged server.

Frankly.compared to two years ago, the forum is dead. No one bothers any more. Tentlan has always reserved the right to administer its policies the way it sees fit. It hasn't changed in over ten years, it is not about to change now.

Actually, you do not have to be the founder of the tribe, but it is only common courtesy to let the founder be the organizer. Some founders delegate this responsibility to another tribe member by mutual agreement.

It is not really that complicated or that mysterious. The decision is made on a case by case basis, no real criteria except perhaps 'common law'. Or perhaps Napoleonic Law, the principle of the thing. Or perhaps Economic Law - the player who buys the most amber gets the benefit of doing so.

Really, the bottom line seems to be 'Do it until you get caught'. That is pretty much the standard.

After the first attack,. in each city you have a 50% chance of getting an amber.

All ongoing orders (buildings, research, units) will continue after the server merge; nothing will be lost.

In the last round of mergers, the age of the server had nothing to do with the decision. Int57 Lacandona is three years old, never been merged, several servers newer than us were merged this time around.

So it is a merged server already. Merging already merged servers results in a merged server with a LOT of greyed cities. There is a limit to how many times merged servers can be merged with other merged servers before they don't have much free space to group your cities together.

I don't think I understand this argument. Surely the big spenders would want to join a server where they can use their strength to gain an advantage. There's no point spending hard earned beer vouchers in a place where no one is trying to defend themselves.

If a big spender spent a lot of money to build up huge cities and armies on four servers, and all four servers were merged into one, three of the accounts would have to be closed.or abandoned. All the money that went into these three servers is money that just vanished.

From Tentlan's point of view, instead of one player paying four times to protect cities on four severs, that player is now only paying to protect cities on one server. A loss of 75%of the revenue.

It would help the rest of us if you gave the server number as well as the name. If we are not on that server, we have no idea what the server number is with just the name. GameHelper only uses the server number.

When a server is merged, all cities including the grey inactive ones come over. If they let servers get overpopulated, then when they merge the new merged server is filled with grey cities, rock, and trees. There is no room to expand.no room to put barbarians.

The listing of the announcements of these servers in the forum show over 3,000 views each. The announcements are getting traffic, but somehow I do not think there is anywhere near 3,000 regular active players. Seems to be a ploy to generate traffic. Maybe something to do with the launch of the new app,

I think 'real life' is interfering with the time the administrators can devote to the game. Does not bode well for the future of Tentlan.

About ten years too late.

Back then, real life and real life politics were such that this might have worked

Today, not so much.
And today, so many past acquaintances in the game have either died or left the game entirely for other reasons.

Is t the highest score. or do you get to pick the account you want to transfer over? I thought you got to pick.

Another problem the admins have is that a lot of the really big spenders have left the game completely, their accounts either deleted or inactive for months. We shall see if the new smartphone app brings more players back. But it could be too little too late for a lot of them.

Each server costs them money to host, and there are far too many servers going. Either the admins just shut a server down, or they merge a whole bunch. The problem is, when they merge servers with the big spenders with accounts on most of them, the big accounts across several servers are all reduced to just one account. That is what happened to the BUL tribe.

So be careful of that which you wish - the next round of mergers will not necessarily result in much new battle action, and probably a loss of many big accounts that are duplicated across multiple servers.

The server the admins moved al the BUL tribe to.

No, they are on a merged server that has been merged. It is definitely an attack server, all out do-or-die warfare. Unless they pay for 100% heal. Even then, it takes a long time to heal that many Atlants.

But here is one with almost half a million Atlants.

And those were mid-level players on that server.
