Should I write here? Well… the time has come.
With many things happening… I have bought a new phone and decided to don’t install Empires again. I’ll use this thread opportunity to say I had a good, really good time around more than anything.
I’ll also apologize for many screams I’ve did around this forum. Lol, I only wanted the better for us. 
I always were a very active player. I have a lot of love for my heroes. I’ve never spent much but after telly fiasco I went almost f2p. And then the recent price double in my country…(Have prices changed? (see link for affected countries) -- Staff Response Post #34 - #79 by Polentinha)… huge disappointment made me fully f2p and that’s ok. I had a bunch of heroes to level before pulling any others.
Then HOTMs (best source of power for C2P) after telluria were all kinda weak. So… well.
Then ninjas were released, s3 heroes were even more buffed. The raids/wars against ninja dodging everything really made me feel inside another game. Not mentioning minion flooding and some other crazy combos.
I know strong heroes are cool but based on my circumstances, I felt like I don’t belong there anymore. I’ve seen myself only praying for good boards and all the strategies that I’ve loved to do were over. Many doesnt work anymore and I really wont spend to catch newer heroes just because they made all mine obsolete.
No hards feelings. I know that’s how pay to win games work. I wont mention names but I’ve been in two alliances my entire live and they were amazing.
They all started collecting s3 heroes, ninjas and were using them alongside other quality older heroes and honestly, I was falling behind. I was feeling too weak for my alliance. My war scores were terrible. How could I hold against those defenses being a f2p?.. truth being said I wasn’t suitable anymore for avid playing. Even I wanted to buy things, it got really, REALLY expensive in my country. It’s unreal. Not even PS4 DLCs are those prices. 400 gems for a weekly meal price? Ouch. Not even 2 pulls and honestly, the offers didn’t help even a bit.
I’ve never felt envy or angry. But I didn’t wanted to keep this because I was feeling too weak, useless, poor and helpless. Not what a game should provide us. I could just drop to a weaker alliance? Yes. But I was there since forever and being out for money is really sad.
I’ve played for years so the map stages are kinda boring now. I’ve did all events at least twice or three times… my scores were good but oh… it got tiring. Ninja tower gameplay and rewards? Not gonna even mention bc it’s just my tired lady opinion.
I will always keep my girls within my heart, lianna, vivica, Ariel, kadilen, Vela… also sorry Glenda for not fully maxing you… I was really happy in pulling you. My fav boys, Azlar, Miki, Drake, Bjorn, Mirewive, Jackal, Falcon and Wilbur… I had lots of fun with you too 
Im sorry for such a long goodbye text that nobody asked for but I wish you all the best. I’m terribly sad to go but I feel it’s the time. Not gonna show my in game statists or names or alliance because I really don’t want any drama. I’m too emotional for goodbyes.
Thank you for everything in this forum. It’s really complete and full of info.
I was a level 71, almost 4700 DEF team that I’ll never forget.
I’ll let a screenshot put of some I’ve did to remember my fav heroes:
Goodbye
