Allow attack from HC. Then people fight like crazy over HCs. You can use HCs to support your HC army. If someone in an HC is attacking you, you attack back and take it.
Attacking becomes a perk for the player who is willing to work for it.

Hmm an attack button ................. =)
Thats exactly what is needed to be added to older servers should make the game better.
I hope it isnt any problems for evony =)
i think a servey of each server asking the people on those servers what they would prefer would be the way to go as there are some people who would not be able to stand the heat of an all out attack server.....jp
this way evony can round up all the woosys and put them all on 1 colonize only server
and what a lonely place that would be
I highly doubt they will add it to existing servers, no money in it for them if they do. Right now they have a lot of experienced players who are looking for a new challenge. If they can offer this challenge on the newer servers only then these people will migrate to them and start spending heavily to get a lead on others. Seems to be working well so far, every new server seem to fill quite quickly and I am constantly hearing from older players who say soon as a new server opens I am moving to it.
Some players have spent alot of cash building up accounts on older Age:2 servers. If you spent alot of cash would you abandon your account just to move to a new server and start again? I know alot of peeps who are waiting for evony to add attack button on older servers and from what i hear theyd rather quit evony altogether than have to join a new server to start again just to play attack style.
Also what will evony do with the older servers once the activity on them has died? Mergers? lol
You have it backwards.....People who spent money on non-attack servers don't feel any need to spend any money at all when there is nothing to do. They are not going to respend this amount on new servers just to get attack button; they might spend this amount on new servers to start over for other reasons. The new servers always fill up and did even before attack button, for these other reasons (people learn game then want to start over with knowledge, people want to get HHs early, etc)
Simply put, revenue from non-attack button servers will head (is heading) towards zero. The only way to keep people spending in these servers is to add attack button. I fall into this category. Haven't spent a dime since they nerfed the HC draft and the HC troop setup, nor will I spend again...unless...they add attack button, in which case the server once again becomes viable.
I wit you on that one ^^
I still annoyed at the way the HC draft thing went down and aint spent a single penny since then either. Attack button i thought was being tested on the newer servers so I keep hoping they bring it to the older servers, but i only prepared to wait so long.....else it'll be game over for me too. I pretty sure many other peeps on the older servers feel the same way about the game not being interesting/fun on the older servers anymore. Theres only so many HC's you can take before losing the thrill of taking them. Also since the rewards for taking them (the drafts) were changed, i dont think they are really worth the hassle. We all know what colonizing players is worth. So really for me, attack button would be the best way forward.
The least evony can do is announce that there will be no attack button on older servers so we all know where we stand. Or if there will be, tell us there will be and give a rough indication of when it will come into play.
i cant even draft off 90% of my normal colonies only draft off about 4 of about 30 colonies
Its been a week since someone posted in here so I just want to see it stay alive. I'm on NA19 and yes, the bore of not being able to attack is starting to settle in. I don't want to colonize players who will then just hide their troops and sprout up again like weeds so I have to colonize them again. Its tireless almost unrewarding work. Also its to the point where you can't hit anyone in an alliance anymore because they can reinforce for the suppression battle. Is a city with 10 lvl 7 iron mines and 10 mills worth tying up a million troops for 8 hours?
The story has been told over and over that in age2 one isn't (theoretically) supposed to have to support millions of troops in the cities. Well I call bs on that if I don't have an attack button and have to settle for colonizing against active alliance players with lvl 10 embassies. A player who is somewhat smart will keep their gates open and allow for garrisoning of troops. A real alliance will then flood the embassy and poof 1million troops to stop the suppression.
Attack button please!?! Maybe Evony is holding out so it can be a player xmas gift?
