Wow just realized this is yet another good reason to bring artemis to the real worlds, Then you can fake attack their alarms all day long!
Think about it more realistically, the advisor will take decision from his own side? Next thing you want is bots to be legalified for the same? I mean, you added the dumb alarm ingame after having on the forbidden script list.I dislike the idea. Think about it realistically (I know this is just a game but still). Your the ruler of your city and let's say your sleeping when all of a sudden word comes to your advisor that the city is going to be attacked! He rushes in to your chamber to wake you. The alarm simulates the advisor in my opinion. I mean, come on, if you actually ruled a city and it was about to be attacked, your advisor or whoever wouldn't just be like 'Oh he's sleeping and it wouldn't be fair to the enemy if I woke he up to deal with their attack.'.
the only thing the attacker has going for him/her is surprise... and now thats basically taken away get rid of the alarm, end of story lol
I've now finally got the attack alarm working and it is really useful but I would rather not have it I just feel that I have to have it now that most other people do. With regards to losing your carefully crafted LS nuke because you were offline when you got attacked that has no dice with me. If you're going to be offline for an extended period of time you should make sure you're troops are in transit.
It seems fair for players to have alarms, and this app should really be kept.
There are players on Grepolis which are pretty much online all day everyday. And there are players which would like to have this oppertunity but RL commitments prevent them from doing so.
This app creates a levelled playing field between the two.. Active players see the attack right away, if you're at work it's nice to have the alert so you don't lose everything because of leaked offline/online times?
Just like someone sleeping who doesn't have an internet phone. It is unreasonable for players using certain devices to have a significant advantage over others. Everyone is playing the same game, it should treat each player the same.If the warning is taken away you basically remove people that work 10+ hour days from being able to have a chance. A good op on one of those days for said person without a warning on his phone would be screwed...

I have had a serious issue with the attack alarm since it was introduced. Not because it exists, but rather because it isn't a blanket game function. For something so staggeringly significant, all have it or none should have it.
I am 100% for this idea.
Your assertion is invalid as it assumes that everyone who isn't online 24 hours a day has an internet phone. Thus it is not fair unless every Grepolis player, regardless of device, has access to an attack alarm. The other fair option is that no one has access to an attack alarm.

I'm guessing that you're suggesting that rather than do away with the attack alarm, that it be enabled for all users. Am I correct?
The alarm and gold are not the same thing. The alarm is yet another defensive tool moving the balance in favour of the turtles in grepolis. If we're going to keep the alarm then I'd like to see the hades spell being changed so that the alarm doesn't go off when being attacked by an attack that has had the spell cast on it.

The alarm is not freely available to everyone, regardless of their want. Many people don't have the funds for internet cellphones or the service contracts that go along with them. Some live in areas where internet cell service isn't even available. Your attempt at comparing gold to a device used to interface the game is ridiculous. You see, it is possible to obtain game gold for free, if players are willing to fill out online surveys, etc. You can even win some monthly within the game itself. It is not possible to legally obtain an internet cellphone and service for free.May I just put this out there.
The alarm is freely available to everyone, if anyone wanted it - they can have it. As I am pretty sure most people in the world have a mobile- contracted or pay as you go it doesn't matter. You could regard it as a premium feature if you think about it.

Plus, if you ask me, it's unfair and unrealistic to attack someone when they're offline.
