List of Suggestions

[SickbyDefinition]

I welcome you to the up-to-date list of ideas that have been suggested in the past, suggestions that are on the feedback site as well as suggestions that are here.

Suggestions that have been flagged as planned will be highlighted in green.
Suggestions that have been flagged as under consideration will be highlighted in blue.
suggestions that have been flagged as not planned will be highlighted in red.
If a suggestion has not been commented on by Evony, then it will not be highlighted.

I will be working on this thread for some time, so bare with me, it is a work in progress. It will be more organized an easy to navigate when it is finished, but as of right now it is far from that point. I hope to have them alphabetized and color-coded soon enough, as well as sorted out by type of suggestion. Also, at some point, links to all the threads discussing these suggestions will be posted.
If you notice any suggestions have been left out, please let me know!

Also, I owe a very big thank you to LordMac and QuantumLeap. both of them were a tremendous help in the creation of this thread. Also, QL created the banner
Without you two this wouldn't have been possible.

people need to be able to earn keys on the wheel and be able to buy them in the shop

better things need to go on the wheel and if you get a chest give a key if you get say 10 then you get 1 key for free

anyone there

This would lower evony's profits and they have said many times that they will not add keys on the wheel or give them for free.

This is not a thread to post suggestions in, thank you. If you have a suggestion please create a thread for it.

First, PLOPER, use the edit button.

Second, you really need to read everything in a thread before posting.

I don't see what's hard to understand about 'This is not a thread to post suggestions in, thank you.'

I also don't think this thread is up for discussions either, so please, if you want to suggest something or discuss something; go create a separate thread.

Thank you.
