For once the .com admins is faster then Russian admins on news about the Final ^^
And I still wish Travian could stop to lie about the amount of participants. 300.000 players ?!? We topped at 66.600 in qualification – including multi bots that was deleted. Or maybe they also count all the multi bots that started later and also was deleted.
It will also be impossible for them to fill up the resting free slots with wildcards (the server can handle 30.000 players). 15.274 have qualified, not all will start. Including wildcards we will have 14 – 15K players in Final.

Well, final have started and too many Bad gateways.
I guess some problems can depend on this:
Turkey, Latinos, Russians and arabs in the same quad, quite overcrowded
Have fun in the hunting of croppers – lol
**********************************
There is a lot of problems:
MacThesys looks to be the only admin that cares about us. I found my answer about protection here on Russian forum 😛
http://forum.travian.ru/showthread.p….
Protection against attacks on the server finals changed to 3 days, as was stated on the page of the championship. All players extended protection was canceled, so that protection can be extended again before the expiration of the standard of protection. On the server finals included the use of certificates.
*******************************
Because of all problems the server will be restarted
ANNOUNCEMENT: Restart of the Travian Tournament 2014
Please share with your Travian Tournament finals players as soon as possible. It is important that they know this is going to happen. – Thank you!
Dear players,
As you all know, we had technical issues with the start of the Travian Tournament 2014. The technical problems have been resolved.
An odd problem caused many players to end up as the wrong tribe and some in the wrong starting coordinates. As we know, this greatly effects gameplay.
In the interest of fair play, (this is a Tournament after all!) we have decided to reset the server on Wednesday, 22.10.2014 at 15.00 clock (GMT + 1) tomorrow and start over with a fair and equal beginning for everyone.
I need to be perfectly clear though, we are double and triple testing everything from how to make sure your registration activations work, to rebooking gold and vouchers and of course the server itself. This takes time.
We didn’t want you to continue playing and think we didn’t notice or worse, didn’t care that this happened. We do – very much! I personally am very sorry this happened. I (and the entire team) are working nonstop to ensure this is fixed.
So, while we are very serious about the 3 pm (GMT +1) restart time, if we find anything that does not work perfectly, we may post a notice of delay.
When we restart the servers, you will receive an email with a re-activation link and a new password. We will give more details as it happens.
I ask for your patience and understanding while we make sure the Travian Tournament 2014 is stable and fair for all participants.
More news as it happens.
*************************************
Many players didn’t get their new activation code to work and we probably lost around 1K players that gave up.
