I will wait and see if the new Fortress feature is any good.
If you really want to improve game play stop creating new servers, I don't see the point, all your doing is killing older servers, it's much better to have 1 or 2 really busy servers than 5 dead ones that no one plays.
This game has been around for over 3 years now, and is the only game I ever played this long. I've put a lot of time and effort ( not to mention money on gold) to get a decent empire, I don't see why I should have to scrap it and start a new server each time you create a new one.
I currently have accounts on 8 servers, but still only really play the original 3 I started on. The rest are boring.
I only started each new server for the initial buzz, but after a few days it wares off and I go back to my main servers.
The only thing that is ruining the game play on Lords and Knights is inactivity due to people constantly switching to new servers and leaving the old ones.
Surely there can't be enough people playing L&K to be able to sustain so many servers.
The way I see it the only reason you keep creating new servers is to capitalise on a quick influx of cash with people buying gold, but then the server dies and you create a new one.
P.S. I love the game, but I'm starting to get a bit bored with the lack of activity on servers.
