The Alliance City is Back in Action: Introducing The Bazaar! (in BETA)
This is the first time we’ve heard about the Alliance City in more than 6 months!! I predict an explosion of features and uses coming out of it soon, starting with the Bazaar.
The Bazaar replaces players’ unused Cores with Copper that can be used to trade with Merchants for a “variety of supplies daily”.
You can finally get rid of those Relic pieces you never use 😂
However, the Merchants are slightly unpredictable. Keep in mind two variables:
- They will not always trade Copper for the same items
- Occasionally they will offer Special Deals
Bazaar Item Strategy
A quick strategy off the top of my head is to communicate with your Alliance carefully about what to buy with Copper, and when to activate the item for everyone in the Alliance to use. By planning ahead and timing your item uses during events your whole Alliance (or a majority) wants to participate in, the rewards you reap will be much greater.
Even moreso, it would be smart to communicate with the Top Alliances in your Kingdom about which items to use and when. This will increase your chances of winning KvKs.
What Happened to the Rumored Material Trading Marketplace?
For those who don’t know, a few months ago Game of War made it public that they were thinking of adding in a feature that would allow players to trade materials with each other.
No word of that feature has been mentioned since that time, but the Bazaar seems like a counter feature to trading materials. The Bazaar reduces the global supply of materials instead of redistributes them.
A material trading marketplace is massive undertaking so it’s possible it may appear in BETA sometime, but chances are looking slim.
Thoughts on the Bazaar?
The Alliance City has been sidelined by many Alliances for a long time. Is the Bazaar something that would entice you engage with the Alliance City again?
Right now the Bazaar isn’t active in BETA for some reason, but we’ll report back on the items it offers in a few days.
Enjoy!

MZ will never change, but knowing how MZ works, I wouldn’t doubt it if a few months after the bazaar opens and people get rid of all their “useless, excess items”, MZ will release more gear that requires the material everyone dumped so they have to start buying packs again. Smdh!
Any updates on this? How is it working out in Beta? What are you able to trade for? How are the trade rates, do they seem at all fair?
This excellent website really has all of the information I wanted about this subject and didn’t know who to ask.
That’s what we are here for!
I love how you only reply to the only comment that wasn’t dissing MZ. ^_^
And my site.
Bazaar… hmm, not sure the name is actually what it is. However I think that maybe something like “Title Loans” would be more appropriate. I think I’d rather just poke my own eye out with the 90 something pinkfireballs I have in my inventory than use this feature… I’m still not sure how this benefits the alliance or each player. You trade materials for copper that you can use for a variety of supplies? More than likely the “supplies” won’t equal what the materials are worth. I would like to trade in my equipment bags – I have lots of them and I don’t need them. I have lots of stupid pink fireballs and purple flames as well as other useless items – however I know there are those in my alliance looking for certain materials that maybe could use them. I think it’s bull that MZ limits our ability to trade items by claiming it’s too hard to program. As someone who knows what goes into it – that is BS. I know you can’t do anything about MZ, but I feel that since you at least listen so it’s got to be said. The bazaar isn’t what we wanted and seems like a thinly veiled attempt to get more money. Lame – even lame would say that’s lame. Greedy too.
I really wish MZ would work on their simple communucation skills. First, there is a ke, then it’s postponed, then the purge has begun although the original start time is more than 5 hours away! Can we get it together please??? OH, and since your big maintenance shutdown, I have had more issues and so have many others in our kingdom (#274)
All it is now is 1 false hope after another, and sadly there is still people (including me) playing their shit to keep it going in the hopes they will do some proper work one day to improve the game for everybody, Hurry up MZ, because the more you mess around with useless BS the more people and money you will lose instead of having something that ‘could have been’ bunch of greedy bastards you are, and poor Chad has to cop this
“Oh you guys want to trade mats? Let us just design a feature that will take you 500 days and 50 packs to utilize before any of you guinea pigs figure out it doesn’t trade materials and we have taken all the money we need while we count the extras you’ve been giving us while waiting for us to make the building live which will probably only happen for an hour or two, thank you”
MZ
If they could fix the game play people would be happy, not improve the packs and amount of things that are completely incomprehensible or worthless to the average player, I mean I love GoW don’t get me wrong but as well as the 33% billionaire borers and 33% troll idiots there is the 33% player that just wants to play and not spend their lives away, they’ll always get their inpatient customers that can’t stop spending their money on this instead of cheating on their wives they don’t know, why wouldn’t they want to make it enjoyable for everyone? Wouldn’t that increase sales the most in the end, anyway sorry for my high rant, just seems to come out of nowhere
The Bazzaar??? Deceptive as so many things that MZ has deployed. My kingdom is only 6 momths old and you should see the dead cities. I have made my own calculations. Not less than 70% of the players left and there is an increasing number of active players wanting to quit.
Just another total “F” up from MZ. It’s clear that they wont listen to the players. All the people I talk to all want t be able to trade materials between each other. But MZ has told us all quite Cleary to go “F” ourselves with this bazaar.
It’s another nail in the death coffin of GOW.
