How to make the game more fun
Since there is no free space on the map to go kill anyone today, I decided to spend some time looking over the server stats.
THIS SERVER HAS GOTTEN RIDICULOUS
We have 48,124 players listed
45,266 actually have at least one city (not even sure why those with 0 cities are listed)
and amazingly, only 14,787 of these players have more than 500 population!
Thats a whopping 30k players taking up space who are either inactive, dormant, or dead.
Just think of how many more battles we could have with an extra 30k spaces free on the map....
And Mr Evony should be thinking of how much revenue could be gained from the ports we would use.
There is a simple solution Evony could do to make this game ten times more fun, and its not a merge that will solve the problem.
Just take all the cities with no population off the map - keep the players accts listed for if they ever come back (doubtful, but hey, I can see Evony's point in not wanting to remove them). Then offer a special pakage for returning players with a bunch of speed-ups to let them rebuild if they ever do come back. Its not like they have any resources in these cities to lose, or any troops.
Just think how much more fun it would be to random all over the world and plunder...
