Speaking personally, I appreciate that Dave gives information and also tries to be humorous and... what's that word? Oh yeah! Human. :)

He was asked a serious question. He should've given a serious answer, such as:
Yes, I realize that some servers have never been merged. We are working on a solution for those servers.
******
There is a time and a place for being humorous... That wasn't one of them.
I had a chuckle at the "forty-two" answer. I appreciated a moment of humor dropped into a thread that has had some rather serious moments. I did not chuckle at the reply I have sig quoted.
I am glad Dave participates as much as he does. I would like to see Thantium on the forums at least as much as he is on the feedback site. The more blue and red names we can get to increase their activity on the forums, the better. Increased communication can be a mutually positive influence on the players and game developers (even if some of that communication is disagreements).
I don't understand why one post is to be viewed as a referendum on Dave. Perhaps he just wanted to raise a smile? Perhaps he wanted to post something while finding out the actual answer? Perhaps the fact that the question was answered humorously was it's own indication that an actual answer can't be provided at the moment. Maybe Dave will post a more satisfying answer to you later on, who knows?
i could have sworn i just seen someone say not everyone in age 1 shares or have mault accounts......lmao you must not play much on 1...lol ive been in 7 alliances on age 1 and everyone in each alliance shares their accounts so if your not on and are under attack they can log in... GIVE ME A BREAK, do you think we are morons? and rules state if you have more then one account then let evony know, a while back my wife and i played under same ip diff names, and was banned for 3 days this after we told them. this game is becoming more and more of a joke each day,........lmao
The thing is though, disagreements need to be allowed to happen, so long as they don't turn into profanity or ad hominim type stuff. There is a history in place here though that disagreements are often shut down when those with the authority to close discussions do so because they've grown tired of the discussion. That just creates more distrust of / disdain for the company. It's a vicious cycle that can really only be broken by those with the power to shut conversations down taking a different approach - policing subjects for people cussing or belittling others, but allowing discourse to continue so long as it is civil.
ss38 has freezer cities that are allowing entire alliances to avoid the upkeep on hundreds of millions of troops. This has been reported with verifiable evidence. Those cities and every troop frozen at them should be deleted. It has been many months, since the server merge. I do not think the cities will ever be removed. I don't use them, and I tell my alliance never to use them... just in case Evony actually decides to enforce it's rules.
Very nice, now if we can get more Alliance's Host or players holding position to direct their members away from such method, I believe we could discourage many others from using such softwares. It wont be a cure all, but it is surely a step in the right direction.
I agree with you that lossing to a better group of players who plays fair surely is acceptable.
for the botters why not take the company that created the bot to court just like other online games do (cant say them as it is a violation of the rules, but i know one that is doing that), many have been shut down you need to have a few people going though all the sites involving bots and all that find out who made it send them a nice legal letter with a court date on
it would be a good idea, but it does cost money, a considerable amount of money and time to gather alot of evidence, to which only the lawyer will gain. What best time to be a lawyer.
Let's say Evony win, a new players will take its places and the cycle continues, much the same as what sony is going through with dvd copy rights. They have shut down several softwares, and many new one that works around the lopehole takes their place. Each suit will cause money to which it may see little return if ever.
These players who creat software cheat does so for numerous reason, some for vedettas, money, a name for themselve and challenge.
If the bots creator has alot of money behind them, then it is worth a shot, and it would make a good example.
