Spanish CM:

Dear all,

Thank you for sharing your opinions and comments with us regarding the World Master invitation process. We deeply value your commitment and understand that this matter has caused some disappointment within parts of the community.

We would like to clarify a few important points about how this process was carried out:

First, our goal was to ensure that only the most active and strongest players from each community would compete on this special server, in order to guarantee an exciting and challenging level of competition.
Second, the number of available invitations was limited, as the maximum size of the world does not allow for the inclusion of all interested players.
The invitations were sent out automatically based on statistics collected from recent worlds. This means that no one was chosen due to favoritism or by the CM. The invitations have been sent and will not be modified at this time.

We understand that these decisions may not satisfy everyone. Based on current data, approximately 30% of the daily active players from the most recent worlds received an invitation.

Looking ahead, we are committed to reviewing and evaluating the selection process for future editions of the World Master, in order to identify possible improvements.

We greatly appreciate the number of constructive comments and suggestions you’ve shared with us. Your voice is essential in continuing to make Grepolis a competitive and rewarding experience for everyone.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and for continuing to be a part of our community.

Kind regards,
The Grepolis Team

lets be realistic... over 90% of the people on all local markets whos names are on hall of fame page are no longer playing, so sending an invite via email to each of them for every market should have been a priority to get the old gangs to play "the most competitive world ever" between all markets.
Giving the old timers enough time until 22nd of july to pre-register and confirm that they are willing to play and using rest of the world cap to invite top 30-50 of each active world before re-evaluating on 22nd-26th of july to see the total amount of pre-registrations before extending the invites to others to possibly have a world with decent amount of people.
Now i dont know what their total players cap for this world is and how much their game servers can handle a fast speed world with 3k or 5k+ people actively playing.. it would have been fun to play on a world with population of 5k or even more again.. but how they botched it this hard idk..

so teams who are doing pause like (4-6-8 months) cannot enter this world because they only invite rosters from active worlds.

I also saw that not all veterans got the invites, the criteria is only you have to be active in last weeks/months xD

yeah they had a good idea to make this type of global world but their execution in invite systems might be its downfall.. there are plenty of people who play only 1 world per year that meets their requirements then take a break for remaining 3-9 months of the year and basically none of them will get the invite because they havent been in game to get the invite in announcement section lol

After getting over my initial reaction and thinking about this more deeply, the settings for this world are too flawed.

Domination is obviously the best gamemode to see which team is best, not World Wonders. I understand the developers are trying (or hoping for, more likely) for a situation where no team manages to achieve 4 wonders and the endgame becomes the exciting part of the world, but that's not something that is guaranteed.

Speed 4 is an insane decision, especially for WW. A "world masters" is supposed to last 5 months + endgame time? Are you insane? This world should be some fast speed (5 or 6) with the endgame starting 60-90 days after world start at LATEST.

Decision to make it CQ I actually like, it's the more competitive gamemode that relies less on gold, so all good there.

Everyone typing like inno devs will ever bother reading these comments and/or have the mental capacity to digest the flaws.

Yes it is ridiculous decision to make it invite only and then not invite actually good people, ah yes we should judge the best players for this 'fast' conquest world based on who is currently playing the slow revolt world. If tommy shelby can get invite then it should be open to anyone kek

Also crazy to change herc right before the masters world with endgame that relies on herc, with no time for playtesting. Can't wait for the big masters world to be ruined when someone finds a bug with the new herc approximately 1 week into the server because devs dont actually test anything they push with any reasonable scrutiny

As always instead of complaining people should just stop playing and move on, but can guarantee people will be golding away as soon as it opens and inno are happy to keep taking your money to update the imaginary gold number on your account no matter how much people moan and complain on externals

more info.. basically any artifacts and gold you have on EN wont be transferable to the Masters world since its independent server :)

Dear mortals,

thank you for sharing your feedback with us—it is invaluable to us.
We understand that the invitation process did not meet everyone's expectations and take the concerns raised regarding the invitee selection very seriously.

Our initial goal was to ensure that the most active and strongest players could compete against each other, creating the most exciting competition possible.
At the same time, we were unfortunately unable to invite all players due to technical limitations on the maximum size of the game world.

We focused our selection on the top-ranked players in each market. We are aware that new, strong players may have been overlooked because player IDs were collected at a specific time.
To counteract this, we have taken another look at the most recent worlds to ensure that well-ranked players can still advance to the World Masters. We would like to mention that we have not removed anyone from the list! All those who were already invited are still invited. Additionally, further invitations were sent out a few minutes ago.

Looking ahead, we are determined to revisit and further improve the invitation process for upcoming rounds.
We greatly appreciate your perseverance, your many feedbacks, and also your constructive suggestions. Your input is essential to creating a fair and exciting competition – and we are grateful for your continued support and commitment to Grepolis.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Your Grepolis Team

Now, a few more frequently asked questions that we would like to answer:

What criteria were used to send out the invitations?
To be invited, you need an active world account and to be high enough in the rankings. Around 30% of active world accounts were invited.

Will gold be transferred between local worlds and the World Masters?
No, both servers are independent of each other. Your account is only linked to check whether you have been invited and to transfer any artifacts to the local server after the World Masters end.

Will my artifacts be transferred from the local server to the World Masters?
No. Artifacts are only transferred from the World Masters to the local servers if you win an artifact at the World Masters.

What game rules apply? Does the night ping rule also apply at the World Masters?
The general game rules apply, which are the same in every language version
The special fair play rule regarding nighttime ping attacks **does not** apply in the World Masters.

Can I restart after losing a city?
Yes! Your invitation remains valid even if you've been conquered or want to restart.

I didnt mind the invite-only aspect, but they did it wrong lol. Problem is they are just looking at stats. What they should have done was gather the leaders of the top alliances from each market and have them bring their teams over.

There will be teams that join that would have been able to convince retired players to come back for this, which I figured was the motivation for "raising the stakes"

Very curious on what Inno's expectation for player counts is.

Now they are doubling down and just inviting more people from the recently opened servers lmao the exact opposite of what everyone was asking and does nothing to solve the problem

“We listened to your feedback” yeah ok sure pal

Gold/artifacts are bound to account. Thus it is very unlikely, new "en" server will be extra-configured so, that gold/artifacts on "en" account will get not available.

Not sure about gold/artifacts on local (like "de", "es", "pl", etc) accounts though. But if they will be able to login - probably gold/artifacts will be available too.

If i recall correctly - world cap has been 45k players divided on speed. Thus giving us 45k players for speed-1, 15k players for speed-3, 9k players for speed-5.

There are like 170 finished worlds alone in "en". Using average alliance cup of say 50 - it makes 8500 winners on "en" market only. Sure there are players/alliances who won several worlds - but probably not that many.

Taking world winners from other markets (like 10) - would make probably kinda 50-80k players. If world cup is still 45k / speed - things are getting problematic...

Devs have already confirmed on DE forums that this Grepolis World Masters is NOT EN based, its a custom independent server that you have to register for with same account name that was invited, gold and artifacts are not going to be migrated to the World Masters, so everyone will be equal.
Alliance/Players who win, will get the artifact from the World Masters added to their player profile for their local server.
