Save evony - please read and add to thread
I would like to add one simple thing to help the players and developers. Instead of changing game mechanics (nerfing) to achieve your ends of slowing down player growth and size do a simple thing.
No really it is so simple.
When people sign on to evony give them the server choice and tell them the degree of difficulty in that server based on average prestige and standing army size. Then it is progress at your own peril.
The last idea simple sweeet and saves everyone time and comments all over these threads ??? Extend beginner protection based on the same forumla stated above. If you decide to join server 8 that has an average prestige of 200k and average army size of 120k then you get 13 days in beginner protection. If you join server 56 with an average of 35k and 4k then you get 8 days.
Easy fix you tell us what we are getting into before we jump and you help us when we dont know what we jumped into.
I have watched 95% of the players around me either not start or stop playing since i started three weeks ago. All of us on newer servers know you need to address the problem and this one is easy and wont upset the older players. Post away!
The simplest way to save evony is to add a fourth act...
Alliance Play...
Organized attacks on Massive NPC story lines. Big enough that they require players to gather together to solve and conquer.
Where developing your alliance is a requirement. And there is a benefit.
Rather than PvP being the ultimate point, which is actually no fun for a lot of people, you continue to higher goals.
There should be stories past LVL 10. Places that are Interesting to go to.. Lands tough to get to...
Since you control the economy so tightly this can be done.
This keeps the game WAY more interesting past the 1-2 months where people just give up if they are not into PvP play.
