The game has be on a decline from 2004. I remember talking to the people that got me into the game. They were like you still play that game?! I got them to play again. But at the time, they were using all the **** strategies that people were claiming to be good and it was not fun for them. I told them to use my strategies and they did and the game got fun for them but they were getting attacked by their own kingdom because they were doing to well. A lot of people left for one reason. The game was not longer fun. And that could mean many things. Better games were coming out. But from what I seen most stop playing because they got tired of people ruining the fun for them.
