    Staff Icon Sweet Nostalgia (a.k.a. Age I is the Holy Grail)

    Let's take a little trip down memory lane. Why? Because:

    1) Everyone complains AgeII came too soon. They love AgeI and want to stick with that.

    2) None of the changes we're making in AgeII reflect what the players want. We should have polled our players prior to making these changes.


    3) AgeII is too complex. Nobody wanted that. We're complicating a really great game.


    4) We shouldn't be transitioning to AgeII. We should have AgeI separate and let people start new accounts if they want to play the new game.


    -----------------------------------------------------
    Ladies and Gentlemen, the answers, in your own words:

    Example 1:
    http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=38025&highlight=AgeII

    it better be an upgrade... if it's seperate and coins purchased don't transfer they'll be getting a lot of chargebacks.
    If age2 is not an upgrade count me out Evony, plus, I'm tired of the bullies in age1.
    Example 2:
    http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=74462&highlight=AgeII

    After AGEII is released no one is going to continue playing this, so they might just as well get rid of it when AGEII gets here.
    Example 3:
    http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=75364&highlight=AgeII&page=3

    Personally I think if AgeII ever comes out it will be similar to a few other games out right now but well better. Hopefully that is. Like more options for troops to move forward fall back etc. With each separate troop being able to be set to something specific. Hero's with equipment to add to their stats. More options for valley's than just occupy. Npc's that attack you at random. Also random events allowing for you to gain or lose resources. Also on the resources front no more having billions of resources If you go over the cap you will get it taken away at around 10 to 20% at a time until it is at or under the cap. Maybe even the addition of a few new type of troops to add to the battle complexity. Also a new battle report type system that will allow you to watch your battle as it happens round by round.

    That is my vision of AgeII. If its like that or close then it will be great. What I said above is very doable and will provide for more balanced gameplay. I just doubt AgeII will be out any time soon. Like within the next 2 to 3 months.
    If Age2 isn't released very soon, they may lose half their active population.
    Example 4:
    http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=63494&highlight=AgeII

    I have run out of quests to complete.
    I made Prince this morning after what seemed like hours of justice medal hunting...tedious isn't the word...
    So what now?

    I'm sat here wondering how/if evony might hold my interest from here on in.

    So you Princes out there what keeps you motivated?
    It certainly can't be the farming of 15-20 10s per day just to eat.

    I'm toying with the idea of suiciding the army against a nearby hostile and calling it a day........
    Example 5:
    http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=75907&highlight=AgeII

    I would also really like to see improvements in the methods of feeding large armies. One idea would be that instead of just farming npc towns, have a way to conquer or subdue them (without capture) so that they become vassals and pay tribute to your city, depending on the level of npc and based on a percentage of their production rates. The system could be similar to the current valley system as in one npc city for each level of town hall.

    Also I would hope to see some more content in regard to quests, namely a more challenging weekly quest that would give the longer term players something of interest to do. It would need to challenging for all, so perhaps based on prestige ?
    Food upkeep has to change. It is keeping people hostage in their endless boring NPC farming.
    I would dearly *love* to see an actual *sensible* combat system. Tactical deployment of units, not just "everybody rush the walls"..

    You know.. the ability to use some tactics besides "Get em!"...
    1. Sell a super war ensign. A war general or something that allows 150k or more troops per wave.
    2. Add armors and weapons for heroes give higher attack and defense than the current ones.
    3. Increased resource production items that gives more than 20% increase. The current percentage barely does anything to resources production to offset it's cost.
    4. Add a feature to customize a hero's stats instead of randomizing the roll. It will cost big $'s but if a player is wiling to spend cash why not.
    There is so much room for improvement in this game. I hope that the developers or reps take an honest look at everyones suggestions, and maybe make a poll of the ideas that keep being repeated- in order to see the votes. I have some ideas,

    6.)Relics/capture the flag type city objectives? Hundreds of Thousands of people marched thousands of miles in order to capture the cities of Jeruselum, Tyre, Rome, Constantinople for glory and for perceived godlike strength. What about 1 or 2 of these types of cities or valleys in each province, and whichever alliance captures it will receive a bonus. 10% added attack or defense; increased politics for mayors. This way, there can be clear objectives for alliances, and bring up a new sense of purpose in the game.
    Example 6:
    (Taken from random other AgeII threads)

    more Quest
    additional techs.
    im hoping it comes out soon..and that they make good and many changes.. as im starting to get bored of evony. only reason i havent quit is hope for age 2 and friends made in game.
    I would like to know will all the servers be updated or will we have to start brand new accts?
    time has come to say good bye to this evony age .....played the game for 5 months and made some good friends all they way ....i hope i will return if evony comes up something really good in AGE 2..till then c yaa

    Default New at customer service?

    Anyone who has ever worked a job that had customer service as an aspect to it realizes that not everyone will be happy.

    My problem is that this fact of life is being bandied about as a way to stiffle / humiliate people who have legitimate concerns.

    I believe my total purchases are around $700. Might be more, might be less... I'll look in a few...

    Edit: Was only $500... Could've swore it was more... but that's what it says...

    While it was my decision (fault?) to spend that money, threads like these and the "water cooler" threads make me feel that all I am to your company is a person that has a wallet that needs money extracted from to make life better for you. It doesn't appear to matter to you that I spent 10-16 hours a day sometimes, nor did it matter to you the kick in the pants that was The Christmas Merge...

    Most of my purchases were not for On Wars, but for advanced ports due to being harrassed by some people early on who had either spent money or were in a better alliance (my first alliance was chatterbox / A.D.D. teen-ridden, and I was the top player, but provided guidance rather than sticking to leveling up). My first month was basically wiped because of that, so I had to invest even more time to catch back up...

    Now you're telling me that you're taking what I worked / paid for (I did buy horns / corslets so that I could farm 10s earlier than the suggested attack level), I no longer deserve / no longer deserve as much of???

    I didn't bot. I farmed all by myself. Yet I'm to be told that I get a "compensation package" that may not get me back to where I was because some of the items in said package have random chance-of-success modifiers?

    How exactly is that fair to me as a person. Not even as a customer, but as a human being who spent a lot of time, as well as a good amount of money?

    I'd welcome an open discussion, where you can wipe out posts of people who use foul language, but be tough enough to answer some hard questions and not lock or hide the thread, rather than come up with posts like this, but alas, I doubt that will happen.

    Even though some people requested changes, Evony doesn't seem to have done primary research to actually see how customers other than those on the forums felt about things. Sure people come on the forums to offer up complaints..they probably make up the majority of posts. However, can you honestly say that the majority of Evony customers(players) actually register on the forums and use them? I for one only registered earlier today when I heard of the changes to be made to the hero system.

    Why does Evony not feel the need to seek out the opinions of the masses? Forums can't accomplish it.
