    I'm going to disagree here in that what the player is doing is griefing and should be dealt with. This might not be "threats against the person", but when a player decides that they get to single one person out and continually ruin their playing experience on purpose and hounds them constantly they cross the line between acceptable "hostility" and unacceptable behavior.
    If you read the emails, they are not "griefing", furthermore, you're arguing with a position that was just stated by an Evony rep, meaning what YOU think on the matter is clearly not how the company feels.

    Go captain obvious.

    BTW, since we are pointing out the obvious here, I used the words "I disagree".


    I will point out that someone who has such a need to single out a single player, they can and will track down the player no matter how many times they teleport, how many alliances they join/leave, how many times they change their name. If the OP has more than one city, and they are both colonized, they'd have to teleport both of the cities and change their name, but the player who's singled them out only has to ask whoever colonized their cities where they are now, and what the new name is, and what alliance they are in now. The problem with taking the stance of "as long as they don't threaten the player personally they can do whatever they want" is that they will take this as a signal that they can single anyone out that they do not like in this manner, and grief them as much as they want, make their gaming experience as bad as they want in order to force whomever they want off the server knowing nothing will ever be done about it.

    The only time you can make the claim that there are real outs is on a full blown PvP server where the player in question can be stepped on hard. I've played on PvP servers, and that's what we did: stepped on offending players griefing other players in our alliance, but on PvE servers that was not really possible, and the only real out was to report the player.

    Age II is not Age I where you can effectively go after someone griefing another player which is the only truly viable out a player has as the worst someone can do to you is try to colonize your city.
    But....the eternal ray of sunshine REALLY wanted to see you, so I helped brighten your day by removing the city from around you! ^.^

    A lot of folks have made suggestions on effective ways to deal with a hostile player --- teleporting, changing your ID, creating your own alliance, finding a sympathetic alliance, etc. All good suggestions.

    With this said --- if threats are made against you a person, in real life, as opposed to against your cities, armies, resources, lords, heroes, etc, then you may report this to our customer service system. From your report this does not appear to be the case.

    This is a war game --- war games are filled with hostility.

    Good luck!

    I would say it wasn't about singling out a single person, but the single person making it "all about me" I'm sure she wasn't the only person in her alliance who was attacked or colonized.

    Ive said it before and I will say it again, its a war game.

    Is easy to assume the worst when you only see one side of the story.

    Wait did some mean bully come along and tell you to go away.. hehe.
    You know how many alliances I threatened daily to leave or die.. oh course not like age two really lets me "kill" them.. more slowly hugging them to death..

    But on a serious note if this one guy is really upsetting you so much, why not just block him.. port states and join some alliance that isnt scared of him, maybe one already at war with him.. is that so hard? People annoy me all the time, I simplely block them problem gone.. I know its a very hard thing to do lol
