    Default My Apologies

    Hello everyone,

    I am sorry to say that I am guilty of using a piece of 3rd party software to automate certain aspects of Evony.

    I first used this piece of software at the beginning of January 2010 when i was due to start my A level examinations.

    At the time I believed I believed i was limited to either giving up Evony until i had finished my examinations, putting my account into holiday mode or continuing to play Evony and risk getting a lower grade in my examinations than I could get as i would not be able to devote my time to revision.

    Putting my account into holiday mode would have been ideal except for the fact that i am still a minor and lack the resources needed to buy Evony cents so i was unable to activate holiday mode. I was also not willing to risk failing my exams as a result of continuing to play Evony despite my love and addiction for Evony.

    I was therefore due to stop playing for a month or so and was hoping that when i came back my account was still in a playable state. However, i was then told by a fellow player that there was this piece of software available that would be able to do my farming runs for me whilst I was unable to. I jumped at the opportunity to do this as it would mean I would not lose all the hours i put into getting where i was in the game.

    I ran this piece of software throughout my examination period and was delighted at the end of it to see my account was still alive and well.

    I now intended to remove the programme and return to playing the game as it is intended to be played. However, once you've had it easy it is extremely difficult to go back to slumming it. I am afraid to say that i was weak and reinstated the software to do my farming runs for me.

    I continued to do this up until the 25th of February when i received my 3-day suspension. Unlike many of the cheaters I was not laughing at Evony about how they saw the suspension as a free holiday and felt that they were being rewarded. I did not enjoy being deprived of Evony and was very embarrassed that everybody in game could see that i was not an honest player. I therefore vowed that when my account went live once again i would play the game as all you decent players out there have been from the beginning.

    So on the 28th of February my account was reactivated and i played the next 2 days as an honest player. I did not stoop back to running the auto software and was enjoying the Evony experience more than ever after my time out and was committed to playing the game by the book.

    Therefore when i was unable to log in on the morning of March the 2nd and found a email from evony stating my account had been closed i was very upset. As far as i knew the 3-day suspension was given as a warning to all players caught cheating and you were only banned for repeat offences after your warning.

    I have contacted escalation@evony.com as the email says trying to acquire more information about these bans. So far each time i contact them i just receive a copy of the original message i was sent.

    In a couple days time my food stores in game will run out and my troops will die putting my account in an extremely vulnerable state. I am now getting desperate and have come to the forums in hope that an Evony rep will be able to pm me so that I can relay some questions to them about this situation. So if an Evony Reps out there pass this thread could you please pm me or reply to this thread and I will pm you in the hope of getting some answers.

    Just to make my vital points clear. I know there is no excuse for cheating in these games. I was weak, saw an option to have it easy and was foolish to
    take this option. I was then suspended for my foul play which mad me see that cheating is not an option in this game and i was then committed to playing a fair and honest game in the future. Once my account was reactivated i did play a fair game but my account was still banned which i believed only happened to repeat offenders after they recieved their warning.

    My rambling is almost over but i would like to apologise to each and every decent and honest player out there. It is not fair that some people are able to take an easy ride while you have to put in hours of work before you are able to reap the rewards. I am sorry for disrespecting you players by thinking that I was special and for taking advantage of your honesty. You honest players drive this game forward and I hope that you can remain strong in the face of adversity which players such as i have created. I would also like to apologise to Evony for disrespecting your rules. They are placed there for a reason and have created a great game which i love to play.

    If this is to be the end of my Evony days then i would like to thank all of the players out there who made the experience what it was. I would also like to thank Evony for creating such a great game which i grew to love and will not get to experience from now on.

    It has been my pleasure meeting you all and I wish you all the best for the future.
