I'd been a member for many years with a previous account about a decade ago. I stopped playing for three and a half years and started back again a year ago. I had forgotten my account details for the first account I set up so started a new account. This apparently is not allowed, even though I had not logged into the old account or benefited in anyway from having it. While playing, and paying for premium membership, with my new account I was verbally abused and bullied multiple times by a long standing member iAmCaffeine, and decided to report the abuse. Well it's pretty obvious to me now that he's part of the admin team circle and conquer club admin decide to punish me by forcing me to close my second account because I'd already had a previous unlinked account. I have no issue with the game play itself, with the exception that there are almost no people available for speed games anymore, but it is clear to me that the admin and their circle of friends are not to be messed with. It's ok for certain players to verbally abuse you because admin will side with them and punish you. I wouldn't let my children play this as it's clear the moderators don't stop the abuse. Such a shame.
Answer: The answer from Bill A is dishonest. I've been a member of the site for 10 years. The site's been around since 2006 (or thereabouts), so they do have 800,000 signups at this stage. But naturally they're not all active. The scoreboard has around 6,000-7,000 active players per month. Back when I joined, ten years ago, that was around 15,000 active monthly players. So yes, the activity has declined, but I still have no issues with filling my games. Hope that helps.
