do u think that they should put more ppl on other servers instead of making new ones?
Mmmm... fresh meat mmm...
Seriously, I wouldn't really know. It's very hard to tell just how many active players are on a server at any time. I play on server 6 and we still see new players coming in from time to time.
It would be difficult for a new player to get plonked down on an old server sometimes, especially if they find themself in the middle of a shark pool.
One feature I think that they should have is an ability to contact the admin. and tell them that you are quitting a server and would like your cities removed. That would help get rid of the ghost towns.
marv, whatever your name is, how many threads dedicated to your angst of the mergers do you need to have?
Evony has made it perfectly clear why worlds are being merged. If you can't be bothered to read the news, then you deserve to be left clueless. Likewise, if you want to miss out on major events which were requested by the playerbase, then keep complaining about the mergers. Maybe Evony will listen and stop merging servers AS WELL AS not planninng anymore special events.
no, I say add more servers so that everyone can have their own server and then maybe all the complaining about cities being constantly plundered by bigger players will stop.
but seriously, yeah evony has waaay too many servers.By using Evonies own quote of 8 million players we can do some simple math to determine that the 85 servers that evony currently has can support at least 40 million players.unless of course that 8 million player quote was waaay off the mark,in which case the 85 servers may not be able to support anywhere close to 40 million players.
There is nothing wrong with special events if they are handled correctly, but if losing accounts, losing troops,losing cities, losing resources etc etc is considered a special event than yeah lets not have any more special events.
based on the way this has been handled or mishandled I now completely understand why it`s called a "special" event.
The point of Evony, it's a war game seems to be, launch a server, build a week then kill the server in as rapid a time as is possible with a 24 hr day. There was already an opportunity to renew old servers. When people got 100 cents and 10 Amulets I am sure alot of dead Lords got resurrected, spins were made, junk was accumulated and they were put back in the grave.
The game revolves around a 2 week thug and smash, limited PvP engine and untill it's more that get 300K Archers and Ballista farm, feed them untill everyone quits, there is simply no point in doing anything but mulch servers.
a/ People choose which server to join, not Evony team, granted constantly producin' new servers doesn't help this issue
b/ it would be great for the older servers to get filled up more, but at the same time havin' a new start land in the middle of a thousand players w/ 1m prestige and a cravin' for someone new to raid won't convince them to stay long, as Rodri pointed out
c/ As Rodri also mentioned, servers are more popoulated than folk think, it's jus' that half the populace is inactive. I think they should be more agressive about dealin' w/ inactive players before focussin' on newer players. Increasin' the non-deletion limit from 1k to somethin' reasonable like 500k would be a good start.
d/ The newer servers are empty, and most people are complainin' about that. Obviously no one wants to jus' quit and start again on a new server and deletin' a server becasue it's inactive is a bit screwy; their plan for the world merger is a solution for all of that. It may arguably not be the best idea in the world, but I think that it shows they are doin' somethin' to solve these issues.
I am new and I am not sure how all things work in Evony but how would they go about choosing who goes and who stays?
Inactives should go. There are people that went inactive several months ago and weren't even far into the game, but still take up space and produce nothin' in the economy. One may argue it's not fair hat they get deleted, anotehr may argue that it's their own choice and fault for not bein' active.
Most games like this have rules about inactivity for this very reason; Evony doesn't uphold any of the typically decent rules, though.
i get so annoyed all the time with all the inactive players not being deleted.
I mean i got about 20 within 20miles of myself and are just hogging all the flats aswell and all of the ive taken down to 0 loyalty so i think this is a very big problem.
Lets say u just got a higher rank and wanted to build another city but couldnt cause all the inactive players were around u cant.:mad:
