Why I QUIT Rise of Kingdoms 

► Twitter: twitter.com/EchoThruMe ► Instagram: instagram.com/echo_gaming_media/

A month into the game, I realized that I have to live this game. Even when I was on vacation and checking my city occasionally, it was NEVER enough, because I HAD to participate in events, or else you're left in the dust, and reduced to being irrelevant. Basically, if you're going to succeed in this game, you're priorities are not where it should be and you're neglecting your responsibilities. So don't fret guys, just quit. All if not most of your guild members are people who've got no lives, and no offense. It's just true. And rarely, if you're Chisgule, you're making money from it. But how many Chisgule's are there?

I totally agree with this, and while it's sad, I have lost interest in the game and feel like I have neglected life for the past 9 months. I used to play about 10 hours a day total, pass out with the game still going when I woke up in the morning. I have to get back to life, and while it's hard, I gotta do it. Great game, and very addictive, just repetitive and very demanding.

Lilith games has invented a meat grinder. I don’t even consider rise of kingdoms a game. A game is supposed to be fun and not stressful. I am quitting rise of kingdoms because KVK Last way too long. Lillis games has about 10 different angles and 10 different ways how they make their money off of this game. One must not have a life to play this game. This game clearly feeds the ego. People that are lacking in their lives who need an ego boost in the form of playing this rip off of a game called rise of kingdoms. I’d rather put my time into something else that’s actually real and not fake. Being glued to a device and taking in all these unhealthy dopamine levels and not to mention taking on all these stress hormones is not healthy. I QUIT

The reason is the same for me. I played on and off for a little over two years. I quit for about 4 months and came back but it was just way to time consuming and it felt like it had me shackled and took my life away. My wife got would get annoyed and upset because I was on my phone all the time and I realized what needed to be a priority. . Most of my friends left the game some did still play. I was on a good group but the grind and feeling like you are always behind no matter what you do is very frustrating and yes I spent my share of money. When I stopped it was such a relief and felt like such a burden was lifted and I took my life back . I have a PS5 now and much more happy as I play when I want or don't want too. Your life and health and family are more important we both realize it and respect you for making priorities correctly. Addiction can be costly and deadly thing of you don't fix it or change your lifestyle. It's sad a game will do this too you all for the sake of making money.

Great content. Literally, this game consumes alot of time and may affect your real life schedules too. I am still playing from the last two years just for the sake of a bunch friends and my passion too. My favorite event is AOO which is scheduled once per week for an hour. However when it comes to Kvk, then one has to be active alot as compared to the normal schedule. I wish there was an option that one could skip a kvk too.

This game puts a lot of strain in ones health too specially during kvk brawls. You made the right decision.

Yea I quit after 850 consecutive days and I mostly averaged 10-14 hrs playing daily it's just the game requires way to much time during kvk beyond belief but what I'll miss the most is the people I got to know and enjoyed my time playing with, thing is you have to move forward when something is becoming a addiction and ruining your health and creating financial problems in your life. I'm done with mobile games I never invested so much into a game in my life like Rok.

I had to quit ROK as well, It's impossible to be F2p/low spender if you don't have the 2-3 hours a day to put into the game every day. Wish you the Best ECHO Even when I stopped playing Rok I enjoyed your content as always ! :) stay healthy and hope you doing well ! :)

I am always close to leaving the game for this reason too. Events are always during work or while I am sleeping. It is never EU worker friendly. I complained to rok about this but their response is it is spread fairly. Which is bs because I miss 90% of events. And balance of the game and matchmaking is completely unfair. You have to spend a ridiculous amount of money or die in seconds. I only stay because I like the friends i made on the game. This game is perfect for massive spenders or those who dont have responsibilities like work and family.

Good for you, sir! I've felt this way about this game since I started and recently returned, too. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors!!

The toxic thing about this game is MANY CRAZY PEOPLE SPENDING MONEY in the game. So for those player who F2P or just low spenders. IT' SUCKS! I delete this game yesterday after i saw 8 whales already in the kingdom

Man did you cloned yourself? You have an extremely busy life. Thank you for all of the youtube content that you put out. I support you on clash for the creator code.

I completely understand this. I took time away to move and start a new job. Came back everything was completely different. Team members had quit, team make up changed, etc. Also, I re-prioritized things in my life. I still play regularly, but I'm leaving leadership and just giving all I can with the time that I have. Outside of that Living Real Life takes priority. Happy for you. Do what's best for you.

Rise of kingdoms: p2w Lose troops permanently Need to farm to train troops No strategy Clash of clans: Literally the opposite

Beyond the lag, my biggest gripe is the functionality of range based units like siege and archers… you fight with them as though their melee units. Should be able to shoot over infantry or cavalry.

RoK has an incredible element of politics and strategy that no other game has ever been able to fulfill for me. For me, however, as you say it takes up far too much time. The other thing is that you have to pay A LOT to compete, or need to be allied with people who do in order to do basically anything.

I played it for 6 hr-8 hr a day, but since I’m f2p my power got destroyed. Even if I jumped there’s people with 2M in first 2 days of kingdom opening

I've been playing f2p for a few months & just hit 20 million. I grind like crazy. I'm so invested at this point, that all of the notifications on your screen are giving me anxiety lol. Honestly, I'm starting to realize that I spend too much time playing. Which is why I stopped to watch this vid. It really is too much commitment for anyone with a life.

This is sad to me bro, I always looked forward for your guidance, but whatever makes you happy I am ok with it.. Thanks for all have you done to guide us.

not a single days that i regret playing for 3 years now, but i agree with what this guy saying.

Great Video. This game does take a lot of a person’s time. That is a major problem of this game. I myself play casually, do my dailies, and try to do events that don’t take up much time.

The main reason i quit is because F2p have no chance as the time pass day by day, It gets Difficult to survive as f2p... More precisely it is completely designed and is under work to make it 100% P2Win

I saw how long a war was in this game I can understand what you needed to do. I have a family and can not play a game that you have to fit your life around

I quit a couple years ago. I don’t mind pay to win games either but I found this game to be whale or nothing. I was a mild spender but it still seemed difficult to keep up. I could kind of fight, kind of do other stuff. I was late to the new commanders and by the time I got them, there were new ones again.

I like the game but the reason why I quit the game is because I don't have the time and day to play the game.

My friend: yes, you can still play, but there would be consequences that would severely impact your progress, fun, and relativity. I respect that you're letting it go. Life is FAR more important than any game sucking up our precious time.

If youre not a billionaire, you cant be a strong player, man pay to win games are evil

About to give rok the same treatment, currently studying business law and want to spend time with my gf, my friends, doing muay thai and investing and so on, just no time there......rok is a second 9 to 5 that doesn't pay you but requires money from your 9 to 5

Glad this wasn’t a click bait video and congrats on the choices

For me the thing I hate the most is all the fking kd rules made up by people who have 14 hours a day to play on lol. Mge s are fixed so nobody but the ones who play in kvk can get them. And if you chose to go to kvk you have to not figth there, it like that only with that and so fking on. And to top it off, they made kvk deadweight lists so now the entire kd are forced to play kvk lol. Devs need to remove kings and titles so these idiots don’t think they are actual kings. It’s a game!

I just quit. Too many bullies on it. Nerds who need to get a life dominate that game now.

As a 13 year old in his summer break. I have nothing but time so it doesnt matter how time consuming it is.

I quit rise of kingdom because adult people and Rich people always attacking me the only way to survive to rise of kingdom is to spend money rise of kingdom is not for me I'd rather play Pubg,call of duty,and other action game

The funny part is that people take the game too seriously.. and is like our chore. have to be on the game occasionally

Rok is really time intensive game, anyways thank you for your videos Echo. I hope you're doing well in life and your family 🙂

Chisgule got easily outsmarted and smashed in k51’s first kvk and than bailed on his alliance and server…yeah follow that guy 🤣

Why u quit rise of kingdom is because your eyes are 1 at north and 1 at south.

although am new to rise of kingdoms u were the first channel i saw and u have helped me and. still helping me throught my journey

I'm at the brink of quitting after six months of playing everyday... Too much time wasted. Too much totalitarianism and violence. Too many fake friends who betray you. Thanks.

"Why I quit Rise Of Kingdoms'.... "I have a real life"... Earned a sub. I also have a real life.

I had to quit too, loved the game hated the devs. They pinch penny's any way they can and the servers were pretty awful.

Ya the only reason i keep playing rok because of my alliance HAHA we've played for a year and a Half and most of them right now are not playing the game. And I enjoy your rok content even if I didn't play it anymore because its really funny to watch and reminds me of the early days playing rok as a f2p and I love all your coc top games content and we understand that you stop playing rok because you said it that it's time consuming and stuf not time in your schedule just didn't know why you stop playing rok. Editied: mostly school I quit

i still play (F2P here). what i don't like in the kingdom where i'm at, *cough* 1196, is that if you don't contribute or participate to events and if you're at 25, they zero you. also, they have this thing called "fixed" mighty governor.

Brother, we have a bully King in our kingdom, I'm a veteran. He is in charge of the number 1 alliance made up of all the big players, they recently decided that my alliance means nothing after my alliance has been around for 4yrs with over 120 players who were like family, well that's all gone, can you or another big players help me please

U can't play this game if u have a job. I tried. Plus it's waaaayyy too grindy.

Why did you kick me from your clan, I wasn't rude to anyone. If anything you shouldn't accept people with offensive usernames. No one should call themselves Messiah Jesus or any of his names

What’s a fun game that you can enjoy very part time? Just to give your brain a small escape not a soul consumer.

After hearing that you grind 4 accounts, have a full time job, and have a wife and kids, I’m starting to think that Gary vee has some competition

ROK ,this game handle your half of lifetime. don't play it.

As an alliance leader/officer I don’t force people to be online every other hour like some alliances do. Instead they can take time off and we don’t care as long as they don’t show up in the inactivity report and if they do want to leave for a while like take a break or do something else we ask them to inform us so we can have a replacement in case they are an officer I rather them be online for 1 hour a day for a month than be online 7 hours a day for a week and then go awol and stay afk forever cause they burnt out

The game is reflect the how things work in real life. It show me when I just keep standing still while everyone move forward, I feel left behind. And when they decide to leave, I feel emty.

Agreed bro ... It's really time n money consuming game.... Not worth it if u dnt hav time in your hand... I quit few months back.... especially after lost temple the game sucks 😂

I started playing RoK all the way back it got released as beta. I found it fun and had a lot of things i wanted to spend hours into it. For 2 years in a semi paying way but just help myself in terms of gems really and commanders. I wasted a lot of money to fully max out minamoto. I think now is kinda trash n in the meta now. I haven't played RoK for so long i wanted to pay a visit reinstill. I were still in the graveyard top 3 alliance in K149 for not being online for a whole year still there. I spend less and less time in the game till i may log on ones or twice a month to gather. I was no warrior but a rss collector. I knew if attented to fights and lost a lot of troops i be useless for months. Strategy game and have fun not a war game else fight 24/7. I were even a moderator on the official discord server for a whole year till i quitted. I got no point to be there anymore since i didn't play. I for sure stayed with the game for the people i had met over my play time. The devs here were nuts for the Rhony scandal. Never help your content creators to win a kingdom war just means wasting rss against an invicible enemy. These kind of games like with infinity kingdom i gave my soul to for 23 days. You gotta do nothing else but play these games to be important and do things. Leaving for a little bit you left behind . It's unhealthy in long term.

I don’t like this game because of the ads so annoying 😒

The truth about this game is that, just like any other mobile game, if you don't have money to spend, you are basically falling behind the competitors. This chinese game gives you a ton of resources to make you feel special and to give you the illusion that you're making a progress while, you really aren't... And its crazy how much 4.99 USD or EUR can change your entire game! Someone who has been grinding for a week, you can surpass all of his progress just by spending as little as 5 usd.

I lost my email and Facebook got hacked my journey end at 25m f2p player 😢

all RTS take time, I think many don't know what they got themselves into.p2w and rts is the worst possible combination, the moment a player spends 10 thousand dollars to have a competitive advantage the strategy ends.trashy game don't waste your time

Fun fact you should not play this game unless you want to pay real money once you make it far enough you have to pay real money to continue

I can totally relate with why you quit games like this... I play state of survival and this makes it one year and it's true... People fail to realise that you have a real life outside of a game and I had installed this to see what the big whoop was about and I have yet to play but thank you for the warning I most likely will not be playing this game if it is like this. I rather SOS and mostly because my alliance is my other family 🤗 and I still have time to have a damn life

They should just make servers for f2p or low spenders ( where thing's ppl could buy are either very limited stuff compared to normal or have very small impart in the growth of oneself unless used very efficiently ) because quite frankly this game... when I had played it about 2-3 yrs ago.... I had no life, no job, no classesn no type of responsibilities... nothing a complete bum who did nothing but be in this game for close to 15 hrs at a time for a little more than a month.... and reached like 5.5mil in power ( idk how good that is now, but at the time I was at the peaks of a complete f2p for someone who just played a month ) and then u look at the whales who would... in just a week or two weeks time can raise their power to 5x or more of what I had achieved.... it's completely disgusting and it's true, unless you have legitimately no life and/or have a lot of money to just waste, you should not play this game period... it's sad but they won't change it because the game has made a fortune off these people... nevertheless outside of the completely obvious Pay 2 WIN aspect of this game... it's a gorgeous game, it's unfortunate 98% of people interested who are just the average person do not ACTUALLY enjoy it and if they do, they rlly just like the view ( because are u actually playing the game? let's keep it 100 )

I got a rise of kingdoms ad while watching this video 😅

4:30 I agree with you when there was no need to go to school for face to face you could play without problem but then school started and it became harder to play the game.So yea I agree and understand your reasons for quiting.Fun fact even I did when I got more n more busy

I watched people spend thousands of dollars just to win reward. That game is a drug.

HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY SLEEP. Like wtf, having a 9-5 job, making RU-vid videos on 4 accounts, being a husband and a dad, and coaching for your kids. PARDON

Maybe the advertisements do not reflect that where if you not a competitive gamer you’re just fodder. Pay to play

play this for 1 month, man it suck my life away, just quitting about 2 day ago thinking about to comeback cause i still miss my friend there, glad i find this video i will not comeback to there life sucking place anymore, ty ECHO.

I have 112M power, If I use bubble 30days and go offline, my account will be disappear from map and be safe?

I just don't have time for this game, so I decided to quit too. I have other responsibilities in my life that take priority over a mobile game, I'm in college, have a job, my family, and a girlfriend. Those are all more important to me than Rise of Kingdoms, it's a good mobile game but it's too time consuming for a free player and I just don't have time. I prefer mobile games where I can hop on any time I want to when I have spare time and not feel like I have to spend all day every day on the game or else be left in the dust. And I refuse to pay a lot of money on a mobile game.

this game not for f2p after new update bro

I honestly play rise of kingdom, but since I’m not in an alliance at all, I dip in and out through out the day or I simply participate at the end of the day and I only focus on my own place some I’m not in an alliance

It hasn't loaded for me for two days... anyone else having trouble?

Let me give a back story of ishida mitsunari in the history of japan during the warring age he is accountant not a real commander but when the eastern army try to take down the toyotomi clan ishida brought great commander such as : shima sakon, shimazu yoshihiro, otani yoshisugu and kobayakawa hideaki now one of the commander want to do a night raid to weaken the enemy line but nope he just face the enemy head on and one of them betray mitsunari and in the end he die in vain

Honestly, I have enough of how I train troops for so long time, just to help to kingdom.. And the leadership poop on my head, is toxic, not appreciate anything

Talks about why he quit RoK while actively playing RoK

I agree with your points sir stil can’t believe I wasted a lot of times on rok 🤣

You must be young to push yourself so hard. I was there too once and it ended up being too much and not the best way to live my life. I'm older now and my hard work has paid off and I have a much better work life balance. Dont ever burn yourself out, it leads to depression, medication and physical impairment. It's never worth it...

its ashame you quit rok is truely great. even if you arnt playing rok as intensly as you used to doesnt mean you have to quit just play casually

Same thats why I quit, it is actually take up sooo much time, is like I have to live two life at the same time , shame that I really enjoy playing it and chatting with friends in game. :'( Great time though. I guess I will play full time after I retire if the game is still on lol.

Thanks for the explanation, got notice from my Kingdom ruler - either play KVK or you will be zero'd. This meant ROK became a duty not a game. Will take a look at what you are playing instead.

200mbs down and the newest iPhone couldn’t handle the lag of lost kingdom, I quit.

Same reason I stopped. Its FAR too tike consuming. Especially if you don't P2W. At 40 million and it's annoyingly slowwwwww.

Rest is also very important (33%)is just the regular sleep session of a day .

this is why i like clash of clans, very low maintenance unless you are in a VERY VERY active clan

Games like this just ask for your entire day to be efficient in the game so it sucks. You have to give up your life to play, literally. It's not worth it. The game IS fun, but it doesn't respect your time. There should be more automation in these games. A lot of the things like collecting your resources should be done automatically while idling.

The same happens for me, don’t worry.

U don't know Me, I play starery games, call of dragons is a joke too all run by ROK lol saying this and ur getting a life, respect

You do you man. I'm glad your doing well in life!

I really dont mind lagging behind, i just find the game fun.

I quit a year ago cause it was just stressful

I was going to download it but knowing it's time intensive nah I won't play it. It would affect my life as a student.

Have you tried Lords and Knights?

I hate the game tbh.

I came for the Rise of Kingdoms but totally understand the demands ROK makes on your time. If it would help you you are welcome to use/clip any of my rise of Kingdoms videos.

Rip i miss the rok content

Real life is much better than the game. I love your videos.

welcome to the quit club , i can understand why you decided to quit cause its the same situation here , congratulations on that decision btw. Time and events especially kvk thing is horrible , Rok force you to have commitment to other people in you kingdom and adds more responsibilities to your life which is awful , despite being a very good game in my opinion but hey i cant do it any more .

I got a burnout from the game in 2020 and decided to quit. I have spent way too much time on the game just to get my alliance to 1st place in kvk and it has affected my sleep schedule a lot.

I wasted a lot of money into trying to keep up with this game back then. It's really going to bother your schedule which you can pour into something else.

I'm unsubbing
