    So Look: Evony is here to make money, agreed? THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH A COMPANY MAKING MONEY. Now once again, lets leave the prices/value of coins aside for a second.

    Now; people who did all the bad things mentioned in previous posts; without a doubt these people were able to tilt the server. I am sure that a majority of the people doing those nefarious things also went about and attacked a lot of other players. Those players who got beat on, ground down and had no chance at survival probably gave up on the game without buying cents.

    To put it in perspective Evony bashed the che@ter Che@ter pumpkin eaters because in reality they were doing more to limit Evony's player base of paying customers then anything else.

    People will say that those who did the naughty things were also buying game cents and thus Evony is losing money that way. As has been stated by the Admins they discussed that and they drew their line in the sand. I agree with that line, as well as many people I believe. This was an economic decision as not if not more then an issue of integrity. But to be honest, if people now know that when they join the game that this could happen then I believe as many people will buy game coin as opposed to those who now will not.


    If you were caught and banned- and you maintain you did absolutely wrong I feel for you. But once again, it has happened. To those who use the "Everyone else is doing it so i had to" argument; you may want to go ask your mother how well that argument worked for you as a kid.


    Remember, it is a game and so we choose to be here. Have fun with it. And if you want to flame or troll- at least do it with a bit of humor.

    Originality is the key to good hygiene.

    All very well said. I would like to add something. If you use a B*O*T it interfaces with their server right? It would stand to reason it sends pings or something on a fairly regular basis yes?
    Wouldn't that put a strain on the server? It would increase lag and cost Evony some cash for the wasted bandwidth yes?

    So besides driving away players that don't use 3rd party software, it costs Evony money on the front end as well.

    Did you recall the heavy lag from most servers?
    I can assume that at one point every players who uses botts farm at the exact time or very close to. I can safely assume it causes major lag and the first suspense cleared some of these lag.

    There were benefit from the suspension, but many players out of anger wanted more, more punishment..

    Incorrect. Using the evony client is what caused the lag. Check your task manager when you are playing evony and you will find your browser is using 100% CPU usage all the time it is running. This overload is what causes the lag.

    Most Flash based game will do the same thing to your CPU.

    The 3rd party progs did not have pretty graphics, so they used 2% CPU usage.

    Also, the excuse for having to use the programs for feeding troops is also a phallacy. It's just for the people who don't put in the time to play.

    I went on holiday for 3 weeks over xmas and worked hard farming to build troops to defend my city while I was gone. Manually built up over 1 billion food to cover the period. It wasn't hard, it just took time. Never even got scouted while I was gone, let alone attacked. lol

    And I wasn't farming for the food, I was farming for the lumber and iron to build troops. The food always builds up faster than you can use it if you put the hours in. So a large army can be sustained manually. Just not if you want a life away from your computer.

    So, In January, After a holiday, I decided not to spend the same hours, so I found the download and ran it till the first round a few weeks ago.

    I got put on holiday. No complaints.

    I got sick of playing on that server so decided to run it again to see how long it would take the permaban hammer.

    Got an email within the hour but continued to play till maintenance after which the ban took effect.

    Still not complaining. I wanted it, I asked for it, and I was impressed how quick it came around this time.

    Grats to evony on a good job. Ya caught me fair and square and passed sentence. Well done.
    You have been weighed.
    You have been measured.
    And you have absolutely...
    Been found wanting.
    Welcome to New World. God save you, if it is right that he should do so.
