Maybe this has already been addressed, but has the game switched over to the non-beta phase yet and if it hasn't is it happening today?
thanks, and Im sorry if this question has been asked and answered already...

Supposedly very soon, as in a few hours, if the in game mail we all received has any merit to it.
They are starting with the easier stuff, firt. Liek changing the name on all the foeums, then they will change the home site's name and the Ad's name, and prolly in-game name last.
They said "in a few hours" a few hours ago. The game will go down when it does.
These things rarely happen on an incredibly strict timetable. Patience is in order.
I feel incredibly deceived.
This company's banner ad's NEVER mentioned that the game "Civoney" was still in BETA...they have taken players money based on the players' assumptions that this was a 'final release' game...and NOW they do an abrupt about-face with only hours' warning??
I challenge ANYone to find a banner ad that mentioned the fact that this game was still in BETA.
Do they plan on refunding or crediting players who purchased ingame coins while this was in BETA?
I sense a whole lot of PayPal and credit card charge-backs coming...
I don't think this is a bad thing...it mentioned we were going to get a bonus for being a part of the beta "something" and that we are "not" going to lose our cities or account...
(though I am still without my academy research levels and without any of my items, this is a different topic all together, I know. I just cant shake the irritation of it all)
Whether it is "good" or "bad" isn't really my point. The point I am trying to make is this:
Nowhere, from the slick banner ad's with the ripped off image of the girl, to the ToS (Yeah...try FINDING it even), does it say anything about this game being in BETA.
BETA's tend to tout the fact that it is in BETA stage long and loudly before going to the LIVE version. I've been involved in several BETA to Live jumps, and well...hate to say it, but this ain't one of them. This is what we call a "backpedal" after the heat UMGE has taken in the last few days...
I can't find much of anything saying that my city, and location will stay intact
I paid $10 to move my city just a few days ago, and if i would have known that it was a beta, and it was ending in a few days I would not have spent it.
If my city and all my work is gone, I'd expect refund or credits for the next version, I didn't even get a week out of my money!
Perhaps...
As long as it remains free of a monthly charges and I can retain all my cities and account information you can call it any phase you want...:)
So do we start a long construction for the downtime?
yeah maybe this is the LIVE 2.0 server...as when this round came out it was supposed to be Live also....as seen here:
http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=9 :eek:
Let me try to clear this up for the OP a bit:
Starting over...bringing everyone back to even footing as it were, especially after the medals disaster: Good.
Taking real life money for ingame goods that may, or may NOT, be retained or returned to the account: BAD. Really, really bad.
As Rutoo has pointed out, there has been NO mention of what state our accounts will be in after this 'switchover'. If you paid real money into the game without the full disclosure that it was BETA, this is deceptive, and in most countries, illegal.
Notice the title of the thread...."Civony Live Server Launched!!!"?????
We are not losing anything...

I'm part of a text-based MMORPG game team. I pay attention to these sorts of things. Nowhere in any of the several banner ad's they saturated the 'net with over the last month or so did it mention "BETA".
This sudden announcement, coming so with such little warning, only serves to further shake my confidence in the true intentions of this company.
(In case you think I'm here as a hostile competitor, wrong. Flash browser games and text-based MMORPG's are different types of games, though they do tend to have a cross-over following.)
Also, it said it was out of Beta a month ago according to UMGE's sticky.
Here's the sticky link

You all understand that they have basically said nothing is really changing for current players, dont you?
Who cares if the name changes and we should be happy that they are fixing the current problems...
And again they have said numerous times..."We will not be losing our in game data and our accounts will remain in tact, with cities, soldiers, ets..."

Wow. So what if they might have mispelled the fact or mis-said that it was in or out of beta? It doesn't matter. Get over it. If you don't trust them leave. If you just want to whine, do it to yourself. They stated officially we would not lose accounts.
Don't trust them? Don't play >_> So far no one has lost their account >_> So please, close your mouth.
Looks like the changes are done - forum name changed, game name changed
Thanks! I couldn't find that information anywhere!
awesome
I don't see a version change or anything....other than a little clicky lag when i'm que'ing up troops....or moving around. :(
