When I first started playing Grepolis I was thrown into a magical world of fighting, strategy and a community of trial and error. My first world was Epsilon and I joined (like many newbs) randomly and without knowing anyone, As the game progressed you would change alliances often and meet new people. This was probably the best aspect of Grepolis in my opinion and when a new world was announced the 'Unknown' was incredibly exciting
Where would I end up? (always selected random) who would i meet? what alliances will I fight and who will guide me to victory or defeat? The mystery and chance of Grepolis made me fall in love with the game over and over and over.
My first encounter of a 'Pre-made' was 'Black Shadows' in Kappa, I had recently quit Iota (loved that world) and was looking at the forums to see what I could expect in kappa. Of course the forums were buzzing with the topic of who black shadows where and would they succeed, I admit i was curious to see how an 'Elite' alliance would work.
Since then however (kappa was actually amazing to begin with) Grepolis has become rife with premade alliances, people playing with the same people, recruitment based on stats and who knows who and quite frankly I find it dull , Premade alliances are the very reason I am bored of Grepolis. It is as if people can no longer function unless they are surrounded by people they know before a world opens.
I hear many people say that Premades never win and 90% of the time i would agree with you but that is not the point, there is no 'Mystery,chance and unknown' anymore. Either a premade fails or completely destroys all competition to the point of 'Why bother playing' (Project venom and shadows fall for example)
So I want your input on the following
I apologise for my awful grammar

So I want your input on the following
- Can a world exist without a premade?
- Do you believe Grepolis is dependant on people mustering together before a world opens, rather than taking the old school approach of 'see what happens'?
- Do you want a world without Premade alliances?
