Performance Optimizations and Report Changes
The Evony Team firmly believes that lag should never come between you and a good time. Because of that, we’re always working to improve performance and reduce latency on all our servers. We’re approaching this goal from two sides: we’re continuously improving our hardware and looking for ways to streamline server performance.
We’ve recently made a change to servers that will significantly streamline and improve performance, by changing the way some reports are handled. To do this, we’ve created a new chat channel where some battle statistics will be sent. When you conquer a valley or NPC city or make a purchase through the market, a snapshot summary of the information will be sent to a new chat channel, instead of the old report tab.

This change means faster server performance and less latency by freeing up server power to handle battles, scouts and reinforcements more quickly! You’ll still receive full detailed reports for any battles against players as well as any time you suffer a defeat against barbarians.
We hope you like the improved performance from these changes and we want to hear what you think! We also would like to know what other information or features you would like to see in the new channel. Your feedback is very important to us as we continue to refine this new feature!
We're rolling out this feature to the following servers tonight, with more likely to follow soon: wn4, 150, 153, 155, 157, 158, ss1, ss46, ss53, ss56, ss57, ss58, ss59, ss60, ss65
