As one of those who actualy tested and gave feedback to UMGE, that spent time working on the problems and ways to fix them, who got others in his Alliance to do the same, I'm insulted by this "gift".
They took out the 100% medal drops and replace with about 1 in 100 attacks (tested), ok we can deal with the slow down on advancement. It may have put the new person at a disadvantage, but they weren't here durring the really bad times, so I can see the reasoning.
They anounce, quote: With guarantees to a 100% data and account integrity, Evony will continue to live on her free game play model forever. All beta testers will get special gifts within 7 days. Cheers!
All my in-game mails, this morning when I loged in, were gone, some were less then an hour old. My Friends list is empty, gone, poof. Troops that were returning to home vanished when network crashed/reset/updated today, all 90,000 of them.
Oh but Medals are back! Joy all around the world and much happyness is felt. And look! We have our "special gifts"! Gosh, what could it be...
(MODS: I actually feel quit proud of myself that I didn't swear once, refer to UMGE's questionable love of farm animals or imply that they couldn't get a clue if they were smothered in clue perfume standing in a field of clues durring the height of clue mating season.)
