Some reasons:
1) Maint sometimes takes more that 15 minutes.
2) There have been multiple recent emergency outages as reported via facebook and on the forum.
3) Any time there is a give away like Evoween, large numbers of abandoned accounts and illegal alts are bought back to life just for free gifts that the people will then whine are * and it grossly overtaxes the servers and makes login difficult and the game almost unplayable.
4) They routinely have been doing extra bumps on some servers to catch people who have multiple accounts try to immediately log back in (bot) and then give them a few hour IP ban so other people can attack them without bot defense on.
5) In case you have not heard, a major storm hit the east coast US and is disrupting power and communication.
If it is not one of those, then the odds are it is you or your ISP causing it.
i live on the east coast so i know bout it first hand
At the moment, and for a while now, the gateway appears to have died.
Maybe the servers need to be replaced with something more reliable than the Chinese knock-offs.
It feels like there were some major bugs introduced recently, and there is a good chance that not every user is being affected, so the whole foundation of this game could have a fatal flaw.
Maybe this is the death knell of Evony.
ss46 down again its up and down like a yo yo evony cancel your promo and get servers working again this is pathetic
Maintenance hasn't been 15 minutes long for at least a year my alliance has joked that if evony said maint would take 30 min - 1 hr (normal maint time) maint would take 3 hours just to prove them wrong. This is due to more things needing done: Clearing npcs, Leveling valleys, doing bot sweeps, ect. when i first started the olny thing done at maint was leveling valleys/flats. Since botting is far more prominant now, They are required to do more.
Not only this but with the large numbers of botted accounts on every server, after maint, there are lots accounts logging back in, When lots of people log on at one time, it stresses the server i think. So when the entire server logs on within 2 hours of each other, It causes immense stress, and the lag train goes full throttle.
You can just about tell when the larger players of the server restart there computers, Because you will get large lag bursts when all there accounts log back in too.
This of course could be totally wrong, im simply going on what i have seen/when lag bursts hit the server.
Evony has long done some odd things where their firewall and routing system does not allow open net logins, but require people coming for certain regions and countries to log in to the system via specific routes. This means, if a given router is down or lagged, people from that region will not be able to log in or will be very slow in getting on, while people it other regions can get on, and plunder the affected player's cities into the ground. This scenario happens repeatedly, and is also the reason why you see the repeated cries that Evony takes down servers for repair when there is nothing wrong with the server, that is, yes there was, half the players could not get on and in those cases they actually reacted and knocked the other half of the players off while they worked on it to be fair.
I am not saying that is what is happening to you, the huge number of bot accounts over stressing the server is the most likely cause, but, it you happen to be going through an over burdened router that is required for you to access, it will do exactly that what people from say Europe are allowed to log in and attack you.
