I would like to thank you for my first closed thread! I'm not kidding it's seriously like a right of passage, no pun intended.. ok, just a little :D I was wondering though, you guys obviously read about every post here and before I go and get myself banned, you said you appreciate constructive griping in so many words? You haven't banned me yet so am I cool to date? If not I would appreciate a warning, didn't get one in-game lol, cuz I enjoy venting and it's a good idea to keep us around atleast in this aspect.. Haven't forums went from dead to crazy alive? YES!! I am here every day and have enjoyed that there are finally lots of people here finally.
But I'm still a disgruntled customer and you are right that it is your property and you can do as you wish and yeah I could log out and yeah you could ban me.. In which case I'll go to Ventrillo and voice myself to lots of other banned members there instead of spamming forums.. But seriously are people like me with my kind of posts ok?
I post this as a thread rather than a pm because maybe it would be helpful to MANY others who's posts are deleted and accounts banned here too. Not trying to be an azz about what one of your mods said earlier about starting a new thread by any means but seriously wanted to ask this in the open.
Thanks for your response.
Side question. I did have another account form a longtime bud who stopped playing that we have been emailing and calling since he left. Lot's of serious stuff and we were in two different alliances. Friendly ones but still.. No account interaction. I did use a *** to farm food. That's it though. I only did because to survive on my server I had no choice but to increase my troop count to a crazy number.
Has there been any thought put into a cap on troops counts so that players like me aren't pretty much forced into it as a means to stay competitive? If you do this sweep weekly or daily and keep the monster accounts at bay then I would have no need in using a tool to farm. I would enjoy a game with less pressure where I could log in a few times a day and not worry 24/7. A troop cap would do that for MANY players because we all have chatted about that in Vent for quite a while. No jokes we really do want fair play but it's hard when your hostile has 10 accounts, tools attacks AND farming, has some kind of auto comfort that does not allow prest to drop below 13, and creates nub accounts to fill flats then ports them out to attack you when they see fit..
Alot of us are doing this outta pure love for the game and this is happening on your new servers too because I have even started new accounts there to try to escape these types of players.. seriously check my account count and see how many server I have accounts on..
Thank you for a response to both of my questions and even if you delete it will you at least PM me a response??:)

Sometimes it is better if you initiate a private message with individuals than to continue to post in the forums, especially since the pattern has indicated that your thread is likely to get closed again and considering that this is a message directed specifically to Foxy. ;)

OMG you're actually right but I would be cool with ANY Evony staff answering it and would still think it could be useful to many users here.

Please use the PM system.

You address a lot of issues there, and although I understand your desire to make this open, I think SweetP is correct that this belongs in a pm. However, because you've not indulged in any rule-breaking I will indulge you tonight.
First of all, no, so far you've not broken rules. We're not opposed to discussion, but we do demand courtesy from every member. That's something that is surprisingly lacking here lately. You may enjoy the circus, but it's not so fun for those of us stuck cleaning up behind the elephants, or in this case, trolls.
Now, you've admitted to two violations of the rules in-game. The first, use of unauthorized third-party programs, is pretty simple. The second is a problem as well. Understand, we really do mean it when we say that each person may have ONE account per server. Not two. Not three. Not 99. Just one per person per server. Additionally, section 11 of our Terms and Conditions states that we do not allow the sale, gifting, or other transfer of accounts. So regardless of the level of contact between the two accounts, you can't take over your buddy's account. He needs to play it himself or let it go inactive.
And finally, as for the question of food for troops. There are solutions to this in place, and further ones coming in AgeII. They revolve primarily around alliance cooperation and strategy. In other words, it is not advisable to build up an army far in excess of your ability to feed it. If you must, then it is up to you to figure out how to support that army. Some people create extra cities to produce food. Some people coordinate with their alliances so that some accounts are their "heavy hitters" and others feed the armies of the heavy hitters. Some people farm their neighbors. Some make NPC fields and do daily farming runs. Whatever you choose to do, within the rules, is your choice, but the easiest answer to these food requirements and the daily grind of farming is simply to reduce your army to a more manageable size. With cooperation and proper strategy, this is actually reasonable. It becomes more so in AgeII. With that in mind, although we have listened to the customers and we do still discuss and consider various changes to the food requirements for troops, we'd like to see the players expand their creativity more and find better ways to accomplish their goals.
