Will the casual worlds be like hero world were we only have two then they die off?
If casual worlds work out well and if we see that they are popular, casual worlds are to be seen on a regular basis.

If you can not conquered the first City, do you think, you will find an island, where you can build a world wonder?

Keep in mind that there will be the World Wonder Revamp along with the introduction of casual worlds. So either we will change the world wonders in a way that they work perfectly well on casual worlds, or we will replace the world wonders by a completely new feature, which would also be designed towards casual worlds in the same way as it would be supposed to work on normal worlds.

I have to ask though, will all these worlds have the heros feature?
I was hoping that the new feature of deleting 175 point accounts in 3 days of inactivity would have fixed this. As long as it takes 1 month for inactives to be deleted from the server Inno will need to open new worlds every few weeks as worlds fill up. If the 175 point cities were delete 3 days after the server opened there would be more room for new players and Inno could release worlds at a slower rate.Okay just saw this post now. What were people and Smilodon requesting? They were requesting that they change the rate at which worlds open.
Roadmap 2014
In the spirit of openness and transparency, we publish this roadmap to let you know about our plans for the current year. We hope you will be as eagerly looking forward to it as we do! Like all roadmaps, it may shift slightly, but we will share insight into what is happening as details become available. The listing is done in the current planned order. We will keep the roadmap updated on the DevBlog.
Well, most of these things didn't happen last year, but I'll be optimistic
Fullscreen Town Overview
You already know about this one, right? We have announced this topic in some more detail on our DevBlog, which you can read here: Devblog
In case you don't trust this link, let us just tell you that the town overview will not be shown as a window anymore. Instead, it will make use of the full browser size. There will also be a new construction menu, which is supposed to have more of a haptic and visual appeal for new players. I hope this is optional? sounds like it will take more time, and quite frankly i don't care if the town overview is a bunch of cardboard cutouts and i think most people would agree, re-balancing is much more important than this.
Alliance Finder
We had this item on last year's roadmap, but sadly it didn't make it. However, we will be working on this pretty soon in a simplified version. We think it's important to easily direct new players into alliances, as this can greatly help with your play.
Would like more info, this can be alright, or a waste of time.
Easter Event
Jason's hen from the underworld will arrive! This year's Easter event will be different than the previous two. It's much more similar to the last Halloween event, as you will make the hen create mysterious eggs depending on the chosen diet of the hen. Stay tuned for awesome rewards!
Tbh idc, it's another event that i will spend gold on most likely, one thing is i'm hoping there is a sale on gold BEFORE the event, if not then i prolly won't spend as much
Tutorial Revamp
Although our tutorial is quite okay-ish, there is much room for improvements. Grepolis is a very complex game and the first experience can be pretty overwhelming to many. This is why we will make the early play session a lot easier by guiding the player through the first steps rather strictly.
I don't like this, i always take the tutorial for the bonuses, but i want to do a few things differently, please allow players to make their own decisions, just say "changing the course ordained by the gods may not be wise" or smthing.
Bundles & Packages
Teasing and rewarding Gold purchases is important to us. We will introduce a nice addition so players will get some predetermined items / rewards upon purchasing certain Gold packages.
I buy gold, so this is a plus for me, but i think that if this goes into effect this year the people who bought gold this year should get smthing, otherwise you will have people pi$sed because they bought gold the day before this came out (same thing with sales on gold, you need to announce them a day or two ahead of time, you WILL make more money.)
Rebalancing
This topic has been lying around for too long to be honest. All the details have already been discussed with the community and we know that our players finally want to see this done. And yeah, we will definitely tackle this!
Definitely want this fast-tracked, most important on the list.
World Wonder Revamp
Finally! Right? We know a lot of players have been waiting for this to happen and personally, we are also eagerly waiting for a change concerning the World Wonders. We still don't have a final decision, not to mention a concept. Maybe we will remove the World Wonders and introduce a completely new late-game feature to incentivize battles. Maybe some tweaks and changes to the existing World Wonders are enough... only Zeus knows!
Will this be for older worlds as well? I really hope so.
Casual Worlds
A hardcore game is not everyone's cup of tea. Grepolis is pretty harsh as you have to login regularly and everything can be taken from you. Grepolis is a cool experience, which is why we would like to open it up for a wider audience. One major rule for casual worlds will be that each player will have a capital town, which will have some benefits and which can never be conquered. Of course, there will be some more special rules, but these are not decided on yet.
IMO these should be very rare, and tbh i think they'll suck, but i don't catch me in one on second thought throw these out all you want, and slow down the release of real worlds. that's what it is really, real worlds, and playgrounds.
Daily Login Bonus Revamp
Frankly put, the current daily login bonus is pretty boring. We will overhaul it and add more awesome-sauce. There will be a much wider range of possible rewards!
yeh resetting sucks
Player Graphs & Statistics
This is kind of a must-have for a strategy game. If you finish a match of "Age of Empires" for example, you can view all the details about the battle. We want to offer the players of Grepolis a similar experience, so they can keep track on their performance in the game.
YES YES YES, been waiting forever for this.
Gods & Spells Improvements
Okay, this sounds like a biggie and sadly, we do not have a real concept for this yet, but a ton of ideas. Gods are a major feature in Grepolis, but they are not as important as they should be. We also think that we can add a lot more strategic depth to the Gods in general. Maybe each God will have a wider range of spells and the player has to select four of them to put in his arsenal. We can probably provide more information near the end of the year.
This is greatly needed, and like 9/10ths of the things on this list is more important than the town view
Summer Event / Halloween Event / Christmas Event
We know that we will introduce some more events throughout 2014, but right now there are no concepts ready. So we cannot really tell you what these events will be about, sorry! But rest assured that they will be exciting.
nothing to comment on
Excited or disappointed? Feel free to share your feedback and discuss the roadmap with us in this thread. If you want to go into details regarding one of the features, we invite you to open a separate thread in order to keep the overall feedback organized. Thank you!
Your Grepolis Team
Sorry to burst your bubble but it doesn't fix the problem. Most often people will build their cities more than 175 points in 3 days and then quit....I was hoping that the new feature of deleting 175 point accounts in 3 days of inactivity would have fixed this. As long as it takes 1 month for inactives to be deleted from the server Inno will need to open new worlds every few weeks as worlds fill up.
