Because im here
nice try troll. maybe all the words were too big for you to understand the concept of evony screwing up.
yes you can have bugs in your game. it happens.
1 time: fine. then fix it. don't need to compensate players or even apologize. just do your job and fix it. game on.
2nd time:....
3rd time:... seriously. repeated bugs and errors on the part of the company you are working for and you would expect me, or any other player tow hat just sit there and not worry or speak up?
so lets say they screw up that server merger over and over again. what should they do? just say oh well players maybe we will get it right one of these times. and not repay the customers and retain loyalty by compensation packs, buffs, bonuses some sort of way to show the players 'hey , we screwed up not once, not twice, but three times' BUT 'we still want you to play our game so to try and retain you as a playerbase here is XXXXXXX"
thats how you run a company. its all 010101010101 with the coins/items. They can hand it out like candy and not lose anything. its virtual currency, it has value but it is unlimited by evony. evony could give every player 5million cents, 1k of every item. and then just ignore the game forever and not care, they would not be out any money outta their pockets (that is if they abandoning game..) not a good business idea in the sense they want to hook/addict people into keep playing and buying more cents thus paying their bills.
but of course you lose your players you wont make any money either? try to retain players by making up for your repeated mistakes
server just crashed again or maintenance? not sure..lets see if troops Qeue reset again..will be great to see this..sigh evony get your SH*T together omg
A few of these threads have been closed because to many people were pointing out flaws, failures, and the general screw you player attitude that we've seen.
It would appear if enough people express displeasure with something, it's best to close the thread instead of fix the problem. GO figure
Evony is in a hard position. They have expressed that they decided to put limits in the ability to maintain huge armies so that it is closer to the original developers idea of how they wanted the game; sadly the way they want to play the game and the way MILLIONS of people wanted to play the game are seperated by a mine field of flaming threads and bannable offenses.
I think that their attitude in closing threads is fairly subjective, falling under the broad category of Attacking the Company or insulting the code writers and developers. I think that they(Admins, moderators) are stuck in a position where the headaches caused by the implementation of the game versus the frustration of the players have overwhelmed them.
While I understand this and can even appreciate the situation, that's not the entire problem here. I refer you to this thread..... http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=129900&page=30
You will see that threads are being closed down because people are upset about plain failures at Evony. Not about how game-play is being altered but how Evony cost them a lot of hard work and refused to make it right, in the eyes of many players.
I'll also refer you to this thread....http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=129693&page=27
Here you'll get a good idea of what is going on and the feelings it's created.
Also, the vision the game designers had is fine and well. BUT the customer has changed the name of the game. We've found ways to make it better, more fun and, more interesting. This is GOOD for business. It brings in more players and makes people spend more money.
So regardless of the original idea of how game-play was suppose to go, this is how it goes now. This is the evolution of the game and shouldn't be considered a bad thing, in my opinion.
