Happy 5th Birthday, Totem Tribe II: Jotun!

Memorial? When you took away the culture perks for houses and added the towers into the mix. Oh boy you took some flak from that one. 

I really liked it when we had a choice of areas to settle in, there were 3 different continents at one time. I learned a lot from Frobot about Defense, then when you added the monster dens that was the best something to do over and over again. 

All in all, I am glad to have known you for all of this time, even though I might call you names now and then on different puzzles. 

You have a wonderful game and a pleasure to meet everyone on the game. Even if some of the players might call me all kinds of mean nasty ugly names too, from time to time.  

What I remember most from A3 (when I started), that you could attack someone on your own. You could also defend against 1 attacker, even 2, when you were online. I miss that. Now you have to find several people to hit someone who is defended. It is not pvp anymore, but avp! (a for alliance). And there was no better feeling than being attacked AND wiping the enemies' army. I loved that!!

I was so green then. I started an alliance, just because I had a mission lvl 5. Invited somebody and noticed that what they explored, I could also see and vice versa. so i started inviting people on the edge of what I could see, never realizing that that was not what the alliance was for. Arri cleared that up, real fast! :) My other hero joined an alliance on Littlefield, because I was dying to see what was going on there. I was in awe of those on Littlefield! Alternatives/Arri declared war on my alliance. I did not sleep that night. When i talked to her, it became clear she could not attack me from another continent. what a relief!! :)

I remember the small wipe, of our heroes, because max hero level was changed to 50!

Made some great friends in A3, who are still friends and in our alliance! Thanks guys!! love you!

I first started playing in Jan. 2014, just after Alpha 2 was launched, and I'm a little ashamed to say that I didn't play long and actually left the game up until, gosh, I think sometime this past winter.. What a shock when I started playing again, and as rough as it was in the beginning, I stuck it out and kept keepin' on with it, because I absolutely LOVE this game!!! I was very confused and somewhat overwhelmed by all the content at first, trying to understand all this war and alliance stuff, but wow, once you get into it, it's pretty addicting :P

It's a hard game to play when you generally work 12-18+ hr. days, and I've even had people tell me I shouldn't play then because I can't keep up, but I haven't minded having to donate for the finish construction bonuses and such, which helps a lot in catching up when I DO have some time off.. Plus, making it playable on a tablet was an amazing idea, and while it can sometimes be a little awkward and slow to play (or I could just get a better tablet, lol), it's great being able to jump on during my breaks or lunch!

This game has come so far since the beginning, and I can't wait to see what's in store next!! Keep it coming!!

What a long, strange trip this has been since I started playing in February 2013.  I kept to myself for the most part for the remaining time of Alpha 2, but managed to make a couple of friends.  The map was ALL fog so I started heroes willy nilly because you had so many continents available to settle.  I miss having more than one place to start, to be honest.  :-D  

Alpha 3 was the REAL learning experience.  Thanks to Arrivederci and Bers for teaching me the hard lessons.  I had an amazing group of friends in two alliances and got a lot more out of the game because of that.  I never wanted to quit because the game was too hard.  :-D  The people I've met here and the experiences I've had as a result have been priceless and I wouldn't trade them for anything.  

I think as I have always thought that this game has a ton of appeal and while some changes I wasn't thrilled with, I'm still here for that reason.  

Thanks for all the content you've given us and the challenges the game poses!  Here's to another 5 years team!

I think one of my most memorable moments was when Bers sent me a pm asking how I had so many items without paying a penny on the game :)

First I felt a little violated he was in my profile O.o

But after I explained to him about town farming, easy item gains, etc. And how I will find a way to farm for items for free still... We discussed special places to visit with mobs of monster... Then the next alpha brought the monster dens. Still love them.

Other memorable moments are the multiple times I have been banned/silenced :) still think I should have an achievement for that bers...

The game itself is great, the choices of play styles (attacking, defending, victory hunting, etc), the puzzles, the quests, hidden objects, etc, etc. All smashed into one game, what more could you ask for? But, I find this game is more of a success because of the social impact that lives inside the game. If it was not for this, I feel many would get bored and leave. Making friends, forming alliances, unions, etc. Even after all the changes that slowed the game down to a mind numbing madness for players that enjoy attacking... I am still here, I have made a lot of great friends, too many to even name. I have lost some very close friends too. I have personally spoke to most players in this game as well, good or bad. 

In my opinion, this game has a long way to go before it can reach a mobile market launch, but, I do wish all the best to the dev team and really hope to see this game make it there. The market is much larger vs PC.

I would like to congratulate you on a successful 5 year run, and, I look forward to seeing how the game molds over the next coming years.

I've been good, I've been bad, I've been naughty and on occasion, bonkers.  But most of all, I've had fun and met some really nice people.  The game has always been interesting, even if some of the updates have been unpopular, you just have to adjust.

Testing has always been my favourite thing, about the game.  If the game had an electric socket, I'd stick a fork in it :)  Or maybe a Spoon :))

I think I started in A4, but I forget.  I really wish more people would do poems and stuff, it gets a little lonely }:-}

The first time I quit, was when I was attacked by pirates, from the continent next door, Abenia.  I have been back and quit, a few more times, since then.  The hardest part, back then, was finding someone to tell me how things worked, the game has gotten a lot more user friendly, since then.

I've been in a few different alliances, before I found my true home, with Pleiades.

When i started 5 years ago we could build, scout and plunder.Not much else to do so i ended up with 8 to 10 heroes:).Now there is so much to do that even 2 heroes is plenty to keep you busy all the time.Seeing how the game has evolved over the years was a true pleasure.You had a great dream Bers.Hope TTJ will be a great succes when released.

lol Make that February of 2014 that I started.  Time has flown and it's hard to believe we've been here this long.  There are a number of us who have been here for years so this game obviously means something to the players.  Keep it up.  :-D
