The 10x Arena at .com

Well, this is a late post. The server started 11 days ago.

Additional info from Phantitis -this is a repost:

Hi,

some questions and answers:

Why is it only 5000 players maximum?
- The player amount is gapped to 5k as that is the amount of hi-activity players that the server can for sure support without event jams at 10x speed. The hardware is already boosted for the server, but we want to be really sure that no event jams occur.

What do you mean with 'every account gets 600 gold once'?
- The access code cost is for 600 gold that comes for all accounts when they are activated - so you actually get full worth of the arena package in gold. Additional gold can be bought in the server, as usual.

I did not get 600 gold for free!
- The 600 start gold is only credited to accounts that bought the preregistration package. If you did not purchase the Arena10x -package, then your account starts without the 600 gold.

But I bought the Arena10x package and still I did not get the 600 gold!
- Please write an in-game message to admin from the speed 10x server, or write email toadmin@travian.com from the email address to which you got the preregistration key. We can then check and credit the gold in case it is missing.

How long do the gold features last? It is 7 days in normal server and 3 days in 3x-speed. How about 10x?
- Gold feature durations are same as in 3x, so each activation of Plus account or resource boost lasts for 3 days. That means, to get all the gold features for a month, it costs 350 gold (if you also count the one-time activation of gold club). The server will be in endgame within 3 weeks (or so), which means the 600 start gold, if used well, lasts for the whole server round with full gold bonuses enabled all the time.

Training times? Construction times? Travel times? Resource gathering speed?
Troop speed: 4x
Resource gathering speed: 10x
Troop training time: ~1/10 of normal server
Construction times: ~1/10 of normal server

Beginner protection length?
Beginner protection is 1 day.

What is the correct attitude to play this server?
I do not know about 'correct attitude', but personally I would relax, play for fun, enjoy the challenge, high speed and attack and defend against huge armies. This server would be perfect opportunity for teamplay, and to have something to do before the tournament finals. Perhaps I would end up as a farm. 

Bottom line: enjoy the game at 10x and have fun!

Phanttis
