    Default Why do you play?

    I am curious to know why everyone plays Evony A2? While not looking for lil andwers like A1 sucks! Unless that is your only reason.

    I myself play it because of the interaction with other people. Getting different people from all over to just hang out a have fun. I also like to feel needed. I have played in other MMOs with multiple accounts and really enjoyed running the logistics of freighter services in one and a supplier in another. I do not like being that frontline soldier anymore. I guess that comes from my trucking background. Trucker in the real world and was also one in MMOs.

    When I played A1 I enjoyed myself a lot. But never really got ahead beyond being a mediocre player. Not a total novice or noob but slightly above that. When I later heard of A2 and how you could not lose that city you spent a week building I thought I would come back and try it out. So I did and found out I liked it better but it would need some tweaking.

    When I was ready to leave beginners protection I did what most people probably do. They look at the top 2d alliances and pick one. The day after we found ourselves under attack. And not really putting up much of a fight. We may have been at the back end of the top 25 but were not really that strong and totally disorganized. I got to thinking. Why am I investing time and money into this to be just like A1. Too keep getting picked on by every Tom, **** and Harry and never get ahead. But what I really hated was it was looking like it was going to be your standard. Start a new game and you MUST join one of the top 10 to even have a chance. Well, HOLY CRAP was I wrong.

    I decided to start an experiment. I wanted to see just how different Evony could be. So I created an Alliance and gathered a few people to start this ride. We came up with a name and a set of rules. We truly wanted to be a new player helper Alliance. To help people enter Evony and enjoy it. The old saying of. "There may be 1 million nice people here. But the one rude one will get all the attention" is what we were afraid people would see.

    So I spent one Sunday night and sent out 150 emails to Alliance hosts saying "Hiya". While thinking to myself. "This is one heck of a bulls eye you are painting on your back". The emsail was so big it was in three parts. Explaining what and who we are and all that jazz. I thought to myself again. If I get a bunch of war dec on us I will just quit and move on. Cause Evony is just full of bullies and they would all yell back "stop spamming us it is a wargame. Like it or leave it!" Well, to my surprise almost every Host shot back a message asking for more info and saying how even they felt the idea was good or sending back replies with tips to give new players. Not one declared war. (Though some have never responded) I was shocked and giddy beyond belief.

    It has been a lil over a month since I started this experiment. I have become friends witg people across multiple alliances in that time. Some are adored by the community and some are the most "hated" on our server. And that is why I stuck around after the rough start. The people behind the armies. You guys.

    ok well i am a A1 person. they basically took everything fun out of A1 and called it A2. A1 is perfect in my opinion because i am one of the bullies on it. i love to tear apart noobs and take their cities. The thing you said about top 10 alliances is completely wrong. those rankings are done by prestige and prestige is a useless number. i could just keep talking and talking but i wont.

    If you like what i post rep me!
    I have returned yet again lol!

    Well then perhaps you can go back to you A1 forums then. As for you same ole rational of A1 is better. We have the attack button too. So the ONE argument of why A1 is better then A2 is now totally flushed down the toilet.

    Default Your choice

    I play on A2 first,and found it to be fun and exciting to me, and played on A1 with a friend, I was surprised at the changes, the game made from A1 to A2, it just depend on what you like better in A1 or A2, some people like the attack button in A1, some like that it not in A2, but whats the difference between attack and colonize(then the obvious), you still need a army to fight the person, just depend on your taste of if you like A1 or A2 better, me myself i like A2 its have a better design then A1.

    ...I like age2 better because I started playing evony from age2, and has more experience on it. It also has better graphics than A1 and less mods stalking them .



    PS I really like your idea of making the academy alliance, you must have helped a great deal of noobs to become average or higher players. Hats of to you

    The only reason I started to play Age 2 was because I found out there was an attack button in na20 so I joined na21 when it came out. (I also played na4 and fr1 for a very short time but stopped playing.) I just liked Age 1 too much and to be honest I still think it's better. In saying that I still happily play both.
