    Yeah. It's a good idea, but going online will be slower.

    not necessarily I will be easier on the computer and the internet connection since the connection would only have to retrieve information from the servers and not display the picture. Secondly it would eliminate all of the issues with I cannot see my hero upgrade screen or close out of it beacuse it is too large

    Making the game downloadable would be a massive undertaking. First of all, it is a browser-based flash game. You're talking about a whole other kind of programming.
    Second, having the game hosted on OUR servers provides for a level of security not easily reached with downloadable games. We'd have to institute lots more security measures to accomodate this. Third, making it downloadable would be extremely frustrating for those who are on dial-up or otherwise limited on their connection.

    This game is based upon the idea of a game that you can play instantly. No download, no fees, no detailed registration process. I don't see that changing. However, new games put out in the future may possibly deviate from this format.

    Foxy is right it may sound like a good idea but is a big burden for the rep's and would take along time to come out.

    How about a pay (i.e. $5(USD)/month) version of Evony with a higher drop rate? Could that be a considerable option?

    evony is better off without the download option. if it was downloadable it would not be online, so there would be two different stories on your account on the same server because it would probably not get updated. leave it as it is!
