No. You are not capping the city, you are just erasing it. You get no heroes, not goodies, nothing except city is gone and flat is there.

That's our point...A city like that that shouldn't be able to save an area; I, and a good many of the others on here tonight would totally agree with you there. But we are not talking about citys that are left dormant for weeks and months at 0/100 but player(human) active/maintained accounts that are deemed "inactive" because theyv'e not been comforted for half an hour.
I still don't see how someone with 0 troops (because they have 1 single city and can only build troops/get res from 1 city), was not reinforced by their alliance, should get to keep an area. Your defenses are gone.
If that is your way of playing, guess what....you can do that from any spot on the map. Which is what you get when you login again, a random spot.
My point is this and I ask you all again...IF YOU WERE TO LOG OUT OF THE GAME FOR HALF AN HOUR (OR THE NEW 66 MINS) WOULD YOU REGARD YOURSELF AS AN INACTIVE PLAYER??
So you can make anyone disappear then is what I'm getting?
So I adv to a spot I want, someone caps my 2nd city and zeroes my first while I sleep and my $9 is wasted and I am in some random location again?
Hardly seems fair to me, I agree with a 7 day no-log aside from holiday'd accounts perhaps but not this way.
Can someone from Evony clearly define what they consider as an inactive player to base this rule on ? Because really no one person can be on 24 hours a day, so having a clearly defined explanation of what constitutes "inactive" would be helpful.
love it ;)
LOL sorry but that would help. LOL
You guys have a really pathetic outlook of the game if you think that having no troops, no alliance reinforcements, and no way to contact offline players as a legitimate means to hold onto a flat. Truces and holiday are all options, as is oh I dont know, actually having a DEFENSE and an alliance to reinforce you.
Yes, people cannot be on 24/7 but there are lots of things that you should have in place. The first of which is an alliance to reinforce you. This coming from someone who has played since Civony (so almost 3.5 years) and I have lost 1 city while I slept.
Stop being lazy.
you missed my point again, we are not talking about un garrisoned zero-zero cities with no defences left to rot and take up a tile on the gamespace, WE AGREE! cities like that should be removed from the game periodically perhaps even the during the daily evony maintenance run?? This bully approach however helps no-one, its a carpet bombing of all 1 city players regardless of activity or whether or not they are supported by their alliance members or if they are in anyone's precious "area". An area that's reserved for them and them only and even has their name on it!!
Exactly my point...well said. No one (including you) has any claim on any area of the gamespace over and above anyone else. It belongs to Evony bottom line and therefore it is surely is they (not you) who should make any kind of judgement as to whether a player is "inactive" or not. What we've got here instead is, leave it to the bullys to decide.... oh there's a single city therefore it must be inactive therefore in 66 minutes time it will be zeroed and moved regardless of ACTIVITY or INACTIVITY and hence self defeating Evonys own proposal and strategy by inference.
The point of the matter is, how long is innactive? if it a week there no problem, if it a case of u get hit overnight, zeroed and wake up to a city in limbo that gets plonked where ever there is a flat it is a problem, only evony dont seem to understand that, removing the innactives is a gr8 idea but not if someone been offline over night etc, Am I asking for too much here? I too have played since civony and have come back online in morning to find myself zeroed 7 cities to 1, as alliance was USA based and it collapsed overnight, and i had annoyed the ranked no 1, so i got hammered, i rebuilt and carried on, but to end up outta state with no ports is not really fair.
After some extensive testing , inactive player means 0 loyality and last city. Even if just 0'ed. So basically now you can remove any one city player you dont want near you if they are out of BP.
This is a big game changer for the bigger players, hope they enjoy it.
Cap
PS when you return from this purgatory you lose heroes, but keep pretty much everything else. and random port back to the map you left. you do not leave alliance unless they kick you, in fact you can pink and change alliance while off map.

I'm too lazy to backread the other 18 pages.
All i got to say is.. about time Evony Age 3 came out... we's gettin' terminator.. Lord Nathan has spoken!
Those that can, Do. Those that can't Teach.
just curious, is this only age1, and is it defiantly a new fix or is it a glitch?
(cant bother looking through 19pages of comments ,but am still curious lol)
and if the player has no random port? and are god knows how many miles away for res to rebuild, what then, oh yeah, coin!!!!!!!, the be all and end all. and that is the issue, We are going round and round in circles with this and the end of the day, as long as evony getting their money they dont give a @/2$ :modedit:
oh dear, have i upset someone lmao, i got a litte red square that says i have had some shameless behaviour in the past lmao, there were 9 reps and now down to -1, lmao. Maybe if ppl answered the questions put to them we wouldnt have to post so much lol
sorry slightly off topic there, but it did make me smile,
now evony make us smile a bit more and sort this out once and for all, no half measures, make a decision re innactives, and dont leave it till ppl are really fed up and leave, like u did with the outta alliance thing originally 72 hours etc,
Oh and Dawnseeker also promised there wouldn't be any NPC clearings, right? :devil::rofl:
Listen, while I enjoy a good internet freak out like everyone else. A lot of the comments here (Neivan, dark_magician, DoeRan) are not only off base, but are being purposefully bombastic in order to stir the pot.
The inactive rules are clearly spelled out, if anyone would care to look at them:

If not, carry on. 66 minutes and all that.
Now, should someone who is active be removed from their spot on the map, as another poster claimed, file a CS ticket so we can fully investigate the account and the situation.
This is 100% FALSE. This may very well be what they told you, but I am actually a player. I am online now. I am taking cities from 100% loyalty to 0 and erasing them. They are not zero for weeks first. Prestige does not matter.
ETA: I am doing NOTHING of the sort. I am stating facts that I personally have tested, not heresay, not what someone told me, not what someone intended. This is how it works. Hit a person, drive them to 0. Hit again, city is erased. Period. No concern of if they were online a few minutes ago. Not consideration of it they have 10 million prestige, simply gone.
that link was from 2009, the good ol' days, if evony stick to those innactive rules fair enough, but all the indications we are getting now is that ppl who log off and log back in 12hrs later and been double tagged etc, are in limbo. Why did it take so long to get a reply for innactive? it was asked earlier in the feed. and i gotta say i dont think the comments were bombastic, and a lot of them i agreed with, even if evony dont :cheer:
Nonsense, absolute bollocks. I've zeroed so many single city accounts and it's very hard to make all heroes run. Sometimes they weren't even gone all the next day and all that time the city was at 0 loy and didn't have any income.
If someone sets tax, there will always be gold income until the population has dropped to zero, which takes hours and hours and hours, keeping the heroes in town when there's enough income.
LMFAO
Umm, since you have trouble reading your own link that has NOTHING to do with this situation:
Accounts with less than 100 prestige will be flagged inactive after 12 days with no login.
Accounts with between 100 and 1000 prestige will be flagged inactive after 14 days with no login.
Accounts with more than 1000 prestige are subject to being flagged inactive after 100 days with no login. We are not currently marking these accounts inactive, but we may do so in the future without further notice.
In addition, accounts which have only one city, and that city has high grievance with 0 loyalty will be flagged as inactive after 40 days with no login.
I highighted prestige to help you find it.
Yes, I remember that. And I still am right about that, you could delete it all you want and give me negative points, I was right.
Ah, we're throwing ad hominems now?Quote:

Now why should we file help tickets on a subject on which Dawnseeker just clearly said, CLEARLY said doesn't apply to this new situation, but has its own rules and that is that people are considered inactive whenever their last city goes to 0, whenever.Quote:
If not, carry on. 66 minutes and all that.
Now, should someone who is active be removed from their spot on the map, as another poster claimed, file a CS ticket so we can fully investigate the account and the situation.
And you know what that is what actually happening right at this moment. :dizzy: People who log every day are losing their heroes and places on the Evony map right as we speak.
Maybe you guys should coordinate better...
It's not Evony's fault if your alliance is unable to send reinforcements within an hours time. You actually have far more time than 66 mins. You have the time it takes to Get the city to 14 loyalty (which can vary, depending on how far away someone is) plus the time it takes for a city to go from 14 to 0, which is what, 84 minutes?
Ill say it again. If you can't defend your city and your alliance is too crappy to help, you deserve to be moved. Its a war game. Defend your territory or be moved.
