Where can i buy a gems? you can purchase from the game or there is a rare change to get a gem from atk barbarian. 3. How can I type emoticons in World Chat? It’s quite simple, here’s how it works: you first must download the “emoji” app from the App Store. There are paid and free versions but the free version will work fine and achieve the same effect so we recommend grabbing that. Once it’s installed you’ll have to reboot your device, and then you’ll be able to switch languages whenever you input text on your device (by tapping the globe icon) and switch to emoji. From there, simply tap on the emoji that you want to input and it’ll appear. 4. Is Island Empire coming to Android? Island Empire is currently available on iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
