They effectively kill any game Split the community, banning the loudest (e.g. on reddit) accounts in the game, hardcore monetization and milking the most devoted fans to the limit, hated by 95% of players. They effectively kill any game

AVOID AVOID AVOID Absolutely steer clear of this company at all costs. They have proven to be dishonest and are known for their deceitful practices. My account was inexplicably banned in Ogame, and when I reached out to them, they responded in an unprofessional and impolite manner. To my dismay, they disclosed sensitive information about me, including my gaming history, IP addresses, and other personal data. I have promptly filed a request for the deletion of my data under the GDPR Law and will be pursuing legal action to address this matter

Scammy company One of the worst companies of ever. Almost never ban cheaters, banned players for respecting rules in the past (because they don't know how to compensate/make offline events), the support is in the hands of volunteers able to do whatever they want to. No one from the company deal with tickets, and it's up to volunteers to choose if they want to sanction someone or help someone, eventually few technical tickes go to tech team if the volunteers choose to sent them to the tech team.

Worst game publisher 2024 This is probably the worst game publisher world wide. Their games are filled with Bots and Cheaters and there are lot of bugs (see their games, Metin2 & Nostale) They have no transparency and the players are left in the dark. I have seen a lot game publishers that were not doing a great job but Gameforge is literally the worst of all of them. You can also get banned for no reason in their game, if a GameMaster (GM) dislikes you or if a player has connections to higher ups (GMs, CMs, etc) you can simply get perma banned, because Gameforge ToS even say that you can get banned for no reason. Most of their games are empty if you compare it to the past and they already closed down a lot games/servers.

When you get banned becayse you care… When you get banned becayse you care about your information security and use safe browser. They never warn you, and if you get in trouble in second part of the week you are doomed untill monday. They never explain problem in detail. But the worst I encountered was their statement "you had interaction with very well known gold seller". I mean how does very well known gold seller operates in game and you know it?
