Clearing npc's is almost a sure way to kill of Age I. I have to spend 9 days out of every month in holiday because when my farms are cleared, I can't feed my troops. Pretty lame. :(

yup it does suck, maint happened wiped every1s npc's
I hope they dont intend to keep doing that it doesnt make it any fun :(
I feel a good subject to start would be to lessen the valleys, in some areas because of the random placements the valleys can be thick causing less space to build etc, a valley is the only slot you cannot work with, even NPCs can be taken and ported out to leave a free slot.
Valleys, though useful have only a small increase in production (and then only useful if you haven't maxed your production stores.
So less wouldn't be very bad atall.
A second thought is on new maps starting with NPCs already, many merges see random leveled NPCs everywhere, maybe having none to start, that way people can still build NPCs to farm but no useless NPCs will exist wasting possible free slots.
1000x1000 map wouldn't be too bad, though greater lag would likely occur from larger scaling but a small problem for a greater overall experience.
I do like the idea of a free state for only abandoned cities, even for paying customers not logging in for 7days will be ported free to this "spare" state, with the player returning a free random teleport for each city given to allow player to return to the world. A great way to rid of those aweful abandoned cities! But still no loss really to the player (as internet or moving problems may come into play).
But also, for the poor newbies who get taken out by huge vet bullies, which help young players to never care to return, maybe more than 7day protection or a limit to who you can hit and vise versa. An idea would be after 7 day BP (Beginner Protection) the player can have another 7 days of limited attack/defense. No player with more than 1mil Pres can attack them. Something like that.
Though many big players try defending their act on a BP player by saying its a war game, you can't surely expect a BP player to defend from a heavy farmer with 1mil archers etc. There has to be some way to limit the damage.
Just a couple more things a little off the point;
- An ability to BUY better heroes, maybe not Helm of Mars but all but this hero would be nice, finding many heroes in the inn with 7 attack etc is a little ridiculous as with such small attributes I personally wouldn't call them heroes :P
- An item to personalise the hero, the picture, maybe a 5c item winnable from Amulet or purchasable from Shop, some hero pics are a little unflattering plus we all like a little more customisation, even the anti control freaks ;-)
But this would have to be the ability to use any picture that is already available for your own character customisation rather than limited to a couple of choices.
Any admin who could get back to me on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading!

THe best part of evony is that they are going to merge another already crowded server.
My suggestion,try make a bigger map ,instead of a server merge..makes everyone happy.
And the only one problem i see in evony..i dont see them reponding to the "Report player" link...i am not talking on the automated one,but to do a decent investigation and respond to that player who reported another player. I believe they will find out more on bot-ting alliance/players.
my 2 cents...
you are so clueless!!! there are so many more inactives on SS, and they fill up your NPC fields, and Good luck cause they dont move, EVER. before the very first merger i remember being within 50m from an enemy no matter the alliance i was in, now the nearest enemy is like 150m from me, so it takes a full day to attack someone with archers, cause i need to send transport with them or else there is not enough food. :) you have it good my friend, dont ask for hell on your server.
I Agree with that, on ss27 there was a good set of red's now iam on ss56 were i go all i see is dead/inactive acct's sitting there doing nothing. so really for me Evony has turn into a Sim city thing for me NPC farm thats about it, in less
A: Hostiles come into the state
or
B: i move to them which i hate since iam a non spender gotta keep taking citys and the dam red's run!! lol
Im wondering to be honest if we arent all deluding ourselves, maybe those who have left in droves have done the right thing?
It has become a battle between the players and the company now, not so much a game that we used to play, the rules and the boundaries of the game have changed so much since I first started playing whether that be for good or bad I dont know, but from my point of view things have gotten worse.
Maybe it is time for the older players to hang their hats and let new guys take our places, possibly they can deal with it much better than we are.
At least if there are new players they will come to know that the game and rules are not stable and cope much better with the changes.
I think our problem is the fact we came to know the game as it should have been played, as the first idea of the game was intended but now that game has gone through so many changes, whether its good or bad from anyones perspective, my own experience hasnt been a good one, but then I hate having to log in every day and find something else has been changed and your playing a whole new different game.
For me personally the ever increasing turmoil and changes is not a good experience the only thing that keeps me here is the time, effort and money I have already ploughed into this game :(
Evony is a slow game... And it takes some preparation to do something... So, when they change somethign abruptly it does cause grief, which would be OK if that was once in a while, but changes to the NPC fields every few days, noobs appearing on other days, bot cities porting in on other days, overall it gets too much to deal with... its a game! not a reason for existence!!! Make it less of a CHORE and more fun to play! Please.
Evony has really lost track of the point of 'what' a game should be really. Thats what the problem is. I see some good efforts but not nearly well guided or decisive enough.
well so ends another rant on how evony is killing itself, we get it that stuff happens, and by now we all know that evony doesint care, Age 1 is in there eyes an old toy that is boring now.
