LOL opinions about evony
lol...now its apparent you get your topic deleted when you comment on evony's lack of being able to respond to the needs and questions of their members... so now I'm going to ask everyone's opinion of evony and how it is run... which is a general question and isn't something that needs to be sent to a moderator in private messages...lol
-
I believe that the Evony moderators and admins are a bit paranoid about criticism, as they've already dealt with more than their share of scorn. (Just see the Wikipedia article about Evony- can't link due to rules)
Evony is a great addictive game, but highly unregulated, and many rules aren't enforced or mis-enforced.

I personally consider this a superb game and site. Nothing of this world is perfect. But considering this to be a privately owned forum, I believe the site directors to be remarkably open.
I could go on enumerating the positives, but I am curious. I emphasize the above is my PERSONAL opinion. I'd like to see other's as well.
-
My personal 2 cents is the game itself could use a bit of work yet while the forums are about as good as they can get considering current circumstances
-
well after this I finally received my first response back from a mod...:) I will also agree that this is an extremely addictive game and has been a joy to play...lol or it wouldn't have taken most my free time for over 8 months...:)
Thanks Boleslav for being the first mod to ever respond...Despite the hard time we are giving him in Server9

Goods:
- Addictive
- Time-consuming
- Somewhat fun
- Warring
- Little kids crying all the time after being plundered.
Bad:
- Too addictive
- Too time-comsuming
- Gets boring rather quickly
- Game mechanics are horribly calculated.
- Statistics don't mean anything at all and are just another useless thing for people to determine whether someone is 'good' or not.
- The fact that Evony makes you pay for every little package even on holidays. Such gold-diggers.... You people p!ss me off....
- Customer Service is a joke.
- Dev's don't care about their members, only the money they are making from internet traffic, registered users, and coiners.
- Ads... sure they are rather nice to look at, but it completely strays out from the point of this game and there are no "boobs" located anywhere on Evony, nor the forums. The ads are so misleading and only get people to play it because they expect to see some in-game or where ever. Like I said, Evony only cares about the money to make from internet traffic.
- The game (and its developers) just completely suck, overall. If you really stop to think about the faults in this game, how it can be corrected, and what new is being added in that messes up other things, you begin to wonder if the Devs even really play this game that they are dismantling day after day. I highly doubt they care about what happens to anyone on here and if they even play their own game or not.
I could go on and on and on but I chose to limit things this time. :|

Needs a lot of work. Like for example, a reason to keep playing. There should be a graphic option you can turn on to see how an actual battle turned out instead of the system feeding you a text report. Like, a 2d battle screen, attackers on left, defenders on the right, then you could see "oh my cavs died because they ran way ahead" or something to that effect.
Because as of right now the game is entirely text-based which is an ancent system. The only animated anything is the minute lil people that hammer on the side of a building when you are upgrading it.
That's just a couple points i'd like to make let alone better servers, the horrible Ad campaign or better customer support, that's an entirely different matter. Regardless of the flaws the game does indeed have potential. If that potential is used correctly who am I to know. Only time can answer that.

This game has the potential to be so great that it's infuriating to me that it is so bad.
1. Fix the combat mechanics- dont think i should need to clarify that
2. I hate that there is no communication-I became addicted to this game because I like it (at its core) i'm only here now because i have some friends but if i'm going to continue to play i'll need some motivation.
3. I will fault nobody for trying to make a quick buck. I dont care that evony blatantly used sex to sell the game. Thats how we do things this day and age. What makes me mad though is the blatant greed. Cents are HORRIBLY overpriced. Even with the packages offered with your cents is disgusting how bad of a deal that is. I have no problem paying money for a game (and have spent money on this one) however I have since decided that if evony wants my money they will need to give me a better reason to spend it. I dont want you to give me things for free but I dont want to feel like i've been robbed when I'm actually purchasing something.
I could go on but I wont. I'm making myself angry just thinking about these things lol.

I quit playing by the end of August.
The forums are very jaded. Very hypocritical at times.
-
I always think it's funny that when someone posts a thread about how "Evony never responds to threads", here we are with two moderators and now me responding to a thread within 6 hours of creation.
On a weekend.
And yes, shockingly, we also try to spend time with our families.
