Forge Moments

Hello Forge Fans,

This year marks a very important milestone for Forge of Empires—our 10th birthday! With our birthday only a couple of months away, we are currently busy with different plans to celebrate it in style!

Much of these plans, sadly, cannot be revealed at this time. What we can share today, is that there will be an event (based on the ages of the game, with a completely new mechanic), and during the festivities, we will also feature a video that tells your stories! It is for the latter that we need your help!

Imprinted in Forge of Empire's success, and the success of our thriving communities, are your experiences. We want to hear them!

Starting today, we will run a contest, where we ask that you leave a comment with your best Forge story or moment. We want to hear about your achievements, favorite moments, guild accolades, and personal successes! More than that, we want to hear about the lasting friendships, your fondest memories, as well as the impact our community has made! Essentially, we want to hear what has made Forge of Empires a fixture in your life! Who knows, we may even ask to use your story in our Forge Moments video!

With these stories, please include as much detail as you would like. However, there are a couple important conditions:

1). Firstly, the contest will run from February 11th to the 25th of February, and only entries during that time will be considered for a prize.

2). Secondly, we ask you to refrain from providing any information that provides sensitive personal details about yourself or others (including name, address, location etc.).

3). Next, we would ask these stories follow forum rules, and that these stories are not designed to insult, deride, or be mean spirited in nature.

4). In addition, we also ask you only submit one story per person. Therefore, please think in advance about which one you would like to submit!

5). Moreover, upon winning a prize, please wait for us to contact you via private message in the Forum. Especially if you have won merchandise, we ask you please do not share address details anywhere public!

6). Finally, for any stories that have inappropriate and sensitive content, we will have no choice but to delete the post.

Once you have submitted a story, we ask you to get involved and like your favorites! The winners will be selected by our community management team, but the most liked posts, will be in strong consideration for prizes!

For those lucky enough to be among the winning entries, we have some tremendous prizes:

Hi Team
my fondest memory was when I was involved in a very serous motor vehicle accident in October 2019. my wife had to collect my rewards and keep the game going for me as I was in a critical condition in hospital. other players would plunder my city, my wife sent SMS's requesting that they not plunder my city due to my condition. the response and best wishes was overwhelming. this to me was so awesome, my city was not attacked or plundered during my 3 week stay in the hospital, SOOO awesome.
 
I think I have 2 fond memories.
The 1st was when I got my first GB. It was the Colossium and I was so excited about finally getting one.
This was about 9 years ago when i 1st started.
My 2nd was around the same time and I was getting attacked and plundered by a number of players every day.
I was very unhappy and almost gave up.
My goal was just to get my 1st million points, which seemed impossible under the circumstances.

Then one player stopped the attacks and asked all his guild also to stop.
He helped me get my Traz by doing some ridiculously unfair trades and gave me heaps of help and encouragement
I was hopelessly unlucky in the events and only got my first Rogue hideout after almost a year of playing so had a big disadvantage.

FOE was a very different game back then, (Those days FOE was predominantly a war game, in fact it was advertised as such. No friends tavern, no shield, no massive boosts etc. So his help made a huge difference)

If it wasn't for this person I would probably have quit the game and wouldn't still be here today.
Sadly this player is no longer playing but whenever I see their avatar in my friends list it brings back lots of fond memories of the earlier years of my FOE life

C'était il y a bien longtemps, au moment où les guildes avaient des forums, où il y avait des associations de guildes possibles, avec des forums, justement, accessibles à plusieurs guildes. On en sortait pour aller prêter main forte sur les secteurs de la carte du continent de guilde, pour rentrer dans sa guilde une heure après. Le forum contenait les dates de naissance de beaucoup et nous nous connaissions un peu plus ...
Dans cet environnement, le fondateur de la guilde a conçu un petit jeu. Nous devions quitter la guilde, et en quatre jours, fonder une guilde temporaire en recrutant le plus grand nombre de joueurs, tout en leur annonçant que c'était une guilde temporaire. Nous nous sommes, à plusieurs ... "défoncés" !
Mais je suis un PCA (Plus Côté à l'Argus !)

It was quite funny when we accidentally found out with a friend that we are also friends and guildmates in the game. Neither of us knew who was behind the nicknames until someone mentioned FOE at a joint barbecue party. It was a big surprise. :)

I've had so many great moments playing FOE, I'll need to ponder a tad on the best one's... difficult chore because there have been so many. Love this game, certainly very interesting and in many ways; the challenges certainly abound. Love challenges. The people encountered, the guilds, etc... are all satisfying in some type of way. -Mary Social Masochist :eek:
