==Controversies==
a kingdom was removed from rankings at the end of the age that was at that time in first place for Land, Networth, Honor and War Win points. The game admins had investigated a potential attempted abuse of intra GBP mechanics to explore at end of age (a bug that had already been fixed) and were invited by one member of the KD membership to do a full audit of the kingdom. As with previous incidents the game admins did not give details of what rule breaches had been committed, but said the rankings removal was for terms of service violations. 
Another member of the kingdom leadership, Fearless, would have been the first player in Utopia to achieve two quad crowns and asked DavidC for a conversation to explain the removal. He was told that the violations were not in relation to his account, but not given any further information after repeated attempts to discuss via a support ticket.
On 17/04/24 (late age 105) David clarified that the ranking removal was related to the use of 'automation software, hacks, mods, scripts or any unauthorized third-party tools designed to improve ... performance in Utopia' and that while most players in the kingdom may not have known, the violations were enough to warrant removalhttps://discord.com/channels/398211456174260224/405605576681455616/1230017901436735560 on 23/04/24.
In January 2024 Utopia's SSL certificate expiredhttps://discord.com/channels/398211456174260224/405605576681455616/1205454016050364476. This was not the first time this had happened and several players questioned why this was not an automated process.
