Dear players,
Shadow now control 93% of player owned villages on world 27 so the time has come to start the closing of the world.
However, we realise that a lot of you have put a lot of effort into this world, and may not wish to see it end yet. Therefore, we're going to put the end date in control of the players.
If the current political situation does not change, world 27 will end as soon as Shadow eliminates all opposition or if that does not happen in sufficient time, by the end of January 2011. After this the winners will be announced.
However, if the world experiences large game changing events (such as the separation of Shadow into smaller tribes) and the majority is lost, we'll prolong the end date month by month until the majority has been gained again by a tribe.
Effective immediately gold coins will cost 25% of the standard price, and from the 9th onwards players that are removed from the game via ennoblement will not be able to restart.
I'd like to congratulate all the players and tribes that have made it this far, and thank you all for playing Tribal Wars!
About world 27:
World 27 was announced along with world 28 on the 10th of November 2008, and started on the 13th. It shared a registration constraint with world 28.
The world featured very unique settings, with each joining player being randomly put in one of 200 tribes. During the first three months of the world it was not possible to leave a tribe or for it to be disbanded. As soon as a tribe reached 100 members a duke was elected via vote in the forums.
10,587 players joined on opening day, with that total raising to 35,113 after a week. Sadly 35,113 was also the peak number of players we saw on the world.
In terms of ennoblement activity the world peaked during week 2 of 2009, during which there were 198 village captures every day.
The world has 107,414 villages, has seen 86,642 village captures and TW Stats has tracked 108,528 tribe changes, making the world the 'quietest' world we have at tribalwars.net.
The world was closed to new registrations on the 5th of August 2010.

You'll have to go on the W27 Weekly and, more recently, the blog to ascertain the full happenings of the world. No doubt it means that, with the world ending, I'll have to tidy up my magnum opus.
