Very easy to spend money. Would have given it 5 stars if the developers expanded on the world they created. Right now the game is self sustaining itself and requires constant surveillance to keep the enemy at bay. Last but not least you would think raising dragons would be the most powerful in game since “Dragon” is in the name, but no. Defenses are a joke and it’s almost like they want you to get curb stomped to force you to buy speed ups. ### 2/5 — Ember appears to have abandoned this game *2019-06-05, version 1.6.0* It has been roughly a year since the developer, Ember Entertainment, appeared to abandon this game. Symptoms of neglect include: A near-total lack of in-game events, previously frequent A total absence of communication to the players No updates, not even minor bug fixes Failure to respond to player reports of account problems A steady decline in player population, compounded by failure to consolidate near-empty servers or make any effort to attract new players. This is a bit of a shame, as the game itself is above average for the genre, with several distinctive features. However, for all the attention Ember is giving the game, you could not tell that the company is still in business. ### 1/5 — Game is dead *2019-04-04, version 1.6.0* Move along, nothing to see here. Ember has clearly abandoned this game for other things. No support, no updates, nothing. Yep, just another dead game. Was good, but now it slowly fades away into nothing. Apple, clear this one from the store, it’s clearly dead and wasting space. Those that want to still play without the “bullies”, jump to Realm 5. Players there still trying to make it fun. ### 1/5 — Ember WHATS YOUR EXCUSE *2019-03-02, version 1.6.0* I’ve played this game for long time at the beginning updates and new stuff came out now it’s nothing no ember mail for months the people don’t even answer support took two weeks to answer some in my guild and we all had to send mail to help him they answered someone else after 2 days make the game better add a new realm where everyone is invited make it fun ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-11-16, version 1.6.0* I have been playing this game for almost a full year now... Ember promises updates earlier this year and so far nothing. Only things that they want is your money. There are many who’ve been on the game for a very long time and many have quit because of nothing new to do like the realm vs realm. The alter or the market with the goods exchange, which btw has been there since day 1. As well as the alter. IMO not worth it if no updates are coming and always get standard computer response from them. ### 2/5 — Atrocious customer support *2018-09-22, version 1.6.0* Ember is the worst game developer in the industry. The reason i give at least 2 stars is that i love the game & the people who play, it is a family atmosphere with lots of joking & conversation. The problem is the horrid treatment we receive from “support”. I send constant requests for maintenance- most of which go unanswered, or i get conflicting responses (none of which worked). The game crashes at critical moments causing people to lose everything- there is minimal compensation provided & there have been no updates or new content since spring (seriously we still have to look at the “spring ahead package”). Most of us have decided to boycott future spending until Ember does something to restore the losses of people due to their server crashing, perform regular maintenance & provide new content to show us that there is some sort of investment in the future of this game. Sadly, that is not likely to happen. ### 2/5 — Was a good game *2018-09-21, version 1.6.0* This started out as a fun and good game. It was slowly went down the hill this year. Ember has stopped updating the game, they stopped sending event messages for the weekend (so we don’t know what events are going on), they have a ton of bugs that they have acknowledged but said won’t be fixed, they crash the game during war events (then hours later it comes back online just to find that you’ve been attacked and zeroed because you could not get online to shield due to their game crash), they ignore your support messages to them (outright closes the support case without a response), and the list goes on. The regions are also completely dead. They changed how you grow and made it money based instead of putting in the work. They screwed over the free players drastically when doing so. The free players were once able to compete in the PvP portion of the game with spenders as spenders had to work at ranking up. They just couldn’t buy their way. Now they can buy their way into whatever they want, this crushing the free players and anyone else. Now unless you are dropping hundreds of dollars a week, you are nothing. You can’t even compete without spending money now. It’s sad especially when it used to be a mixed of free and money game play. Now it’s just money based. ### 2/5 — Support is finished for this high spend monstrosity *2018-09-20, version 1.6.0* Enjoyed graphics and general game play at first. Similar to most MMOs, high spend required to move beyond basic level. Groups quickly forming to run out new players and cyber bullying rampant. There is no way to protect assets that would allow you to advance, for more than a few hours. People outside the top guilds quickly become farms for others. A few high spend players become so dominant because you can’t effectively team up on them, and with little defensive choices, it’s tough to enjoy. Last update was months ago and server downtime is prevalent. No realm v realm play makes it a tired cycle on a limited board. Doesn’t look like they will be upgrading the game and have moved on to other projects outside basic support. ### 3/5 — Not for kids *2018-09-08, version 1.6.0* Another Ember screw up. Most weekend events have server outages. Today is another one. Easy to see why people are filing complaints and getting their money refunded. Also, definitely not a kid friendly game. Has a fun interface and there is always something to do or attack, by the language in realm chat is off putting. From homophobic slurs to sexual talk, degrading talk to others is ruining the game. The developer seems to not care. If you report anyone for blatant offending talk, they don’t even respond. I understand it’s a war game, but the rating should be changed to reflect what the developer allows. It’s a shame in a time where everyone comes under fire for much less, ember doesn’t seem to care about issues far worse being said. Sad commentary on the developer and the only reason the game lost two stars in my opinion. ### 2/5 — Ember has moved on *2018-08-18, version 1.6.0* This game is dying. In game support is non-existent, there hasn’t been an update in months, the lag makes kill events unbearable, Ember has stopped sending realm news... obviously they are working on another project. It had potential when we thought they were working on issues, but it’s an ignored garden full of weeds and bugs! The realms are rapidly dying, evident in lack of participation in events. Bullies pay to get stronger, new players are run off... At least open the realms so those of us who enjoy the people can play out our final levels in the shadow of what this game might have been. ## Frequently asked questions about Dragonstone ### What is Dragonstone: Kingdoms?
