I have spent maybe $100 on my one acct and have made Duke, i have a 15 m burn at a single city and roughly a combined burn of 25m between them all. I am not comparing my troops to some on here, i know i am outmatched. But i feel that a player willing to dedicate that much time should be able to be a larger force on a server if willing to do so to feed them. And thats the advantage i feel i lose with age 2. I know there are flaws between all options that evony is faced with:
1) Force the servers to change upsets those who prefer age I
2) Voluntary Acct transfers can leave players/alliances at a disadvantage
ex: a super player w/ a current 100m burn transfers to server1 of Age I and so does a top player of a newer server w/ only a 20m burn. This is only amplified if a entire alliance does so, the effect would be a quick endgame of a single alliance quickly sweeping through the server.

3) Create new servers in which players are mad for wasting the time/money they have already spent on a Age I server.

My op is evony made a great choice with what they have decided so far, the ones who are moving to a new age 2 server would have done so anyway but those who love the current setup would have been forced to quit.

Feel free to hate on my op if u want but i havent seen that op on the farming effect in the discussions on age 2.
Not going to flame your post but 1 or 2 corrections.

1. No one is being forced to switch or Play Age 2. If you don't want to, then dont.

2. Evony has stated the transferred accounts will not go in to the same servers as brand new players (E.G. NA1 - NA8) but will go on their own servers.

3. I would like it if you could clarify this point? I Dont really understand what you are saying here. Is it the account transfer from Age I to Age II that people are upset about because of money spent?

Your post feelings are interesting, I have not heard it put that way but I see what your saying. +Rep for you. Age I does reward those players who are able to be online a lot, who can food massive loads of troops. I think in Age 2 one of Evony's main goals was to level the playing field, and as much as I know people hate that it is a necessary Evil. Look at Age 1, first 2 weeks of the server are nuts, tons of new players, people starting over, etc etc. after 3 weeks the players with the A. Most time, and B. Knowledge of the game are the only ones left. Age 2 helps assuage that. I know thats some peoples major downfall with Age 2 but I for one am kind of excited to give it a try.
