Update to Version 2.48

[Baudin Toolan]

Hello players and forum goers,

On Wednesday October 23rd, Grepolis will be updated to version 2.48. This update includes a few game feature changes and fixes several bugs. A discussion thread can be found here.

As is always the case there may be a short downtime while the update is applied. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Below is a list of the changes to be implemented in the update.

Game

Features/Changes:

• New User Interface(delayed till the 24th): after several months of work together with the community and several weeks of test, polishing and improvements thanks to the feedback of many players, the new user interface is ready to be released! For record, here are its main characteristics:
  • Optimized interface for our minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 px;
  • Reorganized elements in a more logical and intuitive manner;
  • Improved integration of the latest features, i.e. inventory, heroes, quests;
  • Visually improved design of the interface.
• Removed the 7 days login bonus (players who acquired a population boost through that feature will still have it until the town gets taken);
• The challenging factor of the island quests has been reduced.
  

Bugfixes:

• Sometimes, the text displayed in the command overview was wrong when town foundations or sieges were sent;
• In some rare cases, players were not able to organize as many triumphs as they should;
• Some players were not able to use the menu bar;
• The remaining duration of spells and effects was not decreasing correctly over the time.

Windows 8 App:

• The email address was not automatically validated after registering.

Thank You,

Your Grepolis Team
