    Money's the problem eh?

    How do you think you're able to play this game then?

    you mean barely playing this game due to randomers teleporting and throwing hundreds of thousands of men around like tissue?
    people want to pay to play thats fine, but all they do is grief those that dont, evony want people to pay to play? well all this "do what you want because you pay" stuff needs to stop, i have other things to do with my money and NPC perging is handycapping those of us who dont want to/cant pay for the game.
    I have seen plenty of disrispect and down right rudeness in this game from money players because they think they can do whatever the hell they want, people farming oither players by booting them out the alliance because they "want to farm them" or people youtubing pointless city takes on players not long out of BP?
    so yes money and players are the issue, money should not be the high horse ego boost, i'm better then you factor in this game. in evonyII its not an issue thanks to facebook and decent drop rates leveling the field.

    and I know paying players pay for the game, but they shouldn't be allowed to get around adv teleporter limits by throwing money at the game. new players will not go on a purged server, there is no point if someone with 5 million prestige attacks them from day 8.
    i couldn't care less how much money people spend on the game, thats thier issue, but I dont think they should be able to do what they want, because they throw money at the game

    2. Calling players cowardly (and your statements make this reference clear) for being upset about the sudden change in rules is not gonna endear you to them. Such statements will only lose evony customers. And most players with large npc fields are customers. They have been playing the longest.
    3. The reason behind the changes may be valid, and evony has the right to do whatever it likes with its game, what it does not have the right to do is make light of the discomfort those changes cause to its customers. Show some respect for those players who liked the npcs, who have been loyal evony players for months or even a year. Calling them Farmville players is not respectful. Players use that term as a insult.
    4. One reason for this change is also to encourage players to play Age2, where this change is accepted by now as standard.
    5. There were other methods of fixing the issue, including the code change to allow new players to appear anywhere a npc or flat was, and allow teleporters to randomly select npc or flat areas would have resolved the issue without taking out a large amount of npcs. And it would have been easy enough to do, as demonstrated by the fact that evony can easily distinguish between player npcs and original npcs in age2.
    this guy here knows how to say it the right way, i was going to try to say something but im not so good with the words and always get into trouble..................well done rep to you..................

    The dev pool is small compared to the amount of players. Devs can not possible think of all the ways players will play the game. In every game there are always things that are not intended by the devs. A good dev team will see that the players prefer these ways to the dev's intended goals and the devs will roll with the punches and build and expand on what the players find more fun and enjoyable. Devs should not choke the players, forcing them to play the game they want to play.

    I really hope they rethink this policy, the last thing people want to have to focus on is rebuilding npcs to avoid refuge every morning...

    I totally agree, the way some devs approach players(also called CUSTOMERS: THE REASON EVONY PRODUCES MONEY) is disrespectful, hostile and uncalled for. but that's not what in the table to discuss.

    I also have the same npc clearing problem, there wasn't any notice of this happening, they just decided to do it, without notifying anyone.

    I woke up to over a dozen open flats(many low-lvld ones btw.) withing my cities npc fields. you're right this isn't farmville, but you can't hold a decent army without the proper farming everyday. even tho i hate farming dozens of lvl5's and 10's everyday, i'd rather do that than have a tiny army just cuz you think an npc field is inappropiate or contrary to ''the spirit of the game''. I think there are real problems to be fixed first. i know and have evidence(evidence that have been deleted on the forums but not in my comp) that there are players who have an amazing understanding of the game's glitches and how to take advantage of them. now THAT is somethin you should be looking to prevent, in order to keep the ''spirit of the game'' pure.

    i've seen many players creating threads like this one along the forums, yet i see the same words coming out from every dev that decide to reply...you want more players rite? you should try to keep your current ones first.....


    btw you say this is to promote new players to come...well i feel sorry for the new player that decides to join ANY old server....LOL

    There have been many threads in the forums about clearing NPC's for months now. It has been said many times that it can and probably will happen to all servers. I don't know how this is a surprise to most of you who said you have had no warning about it happening. You obviously read the forums; I am sure you have seen at least one thread about this before.

    well uhh if ppl wanna spend money on a game that inevidably does not matter and has no real purpose or reason or even a connection to real life...... well let them do it? go play another server and move on its not ppl with money that is the problem....... its cuz you're broke
    If you find yourself in a world where no one is attacking you....... it's probably because im already your Suzerain

    i have been playing for over almost a year now, and i haven not read any thread about npc's being cleared until a couple weeks ago. i may have missed those threads. but anyways they being posted months ago doesn't makes us agree with em...
