Thread: Elephant in the room

  1. #1

    Default Elephant in the room

    I haven't seen any talk of this in the forums, maybe it gets deleted maybe its just my server.


    I have seen huge increase in Account/HH selling and buying in Age II compared to Age I.

    People selling HHs for up to 50 bucks a pop and im not even talking about Henry IV or Saladin either. People selling accounts for almost a grand not even a 16 owner let alone Atlantis.

    I have seen a few accounts sell for big bucks in Age I, they had mega heroes that someone spent 1000s on On Wars and such, but those were few and far between. Back in Age I when you left a server you maybe gave a hero and city to a freind and that was it.


    Now its like a cottage industry. Ppl advertise in WC offering up there accounts, and negotiate for all to see.

    It kinda makes sense with limited HHs and HCs, but i mean come on it totally undermines the game.

    So do you all think this is a problem? And do you think it will ever be addressed or am i just wasting my time.

    I have never seen this, but have heard of people selling accounts and all.

    The best way to get rid of them is to report them in game and you should also take screen shots to make sure you have evidence.

    Its the best way, sure. But its kinda like seeing matt1, matt2, matt3 running alliances matty1, matty2, matty3. You report it and nothing is done.

    Not to say i haven't tried.

    I put this in discussion to see if it was widespread or server specific.

    I am not trying to report anyone here and know it isn't the proper place to do so.

    I didn't name names or accuse anyone, i just want some frank opinions from other servers on the matter.

    Selling accounts is bad for business. It cuts Evony out of money. Evony needs a to have a profit margin as large as possible.. just like any business. And if people enjoy playing this game then they should be happy to put money into it and not cut Evony out of anything.
    I may not agree with some decisions Evony has made or how they run some things. But I like their game and I support their business. And businesses owners who support other businesses is good business.

    Thanks to Boleslav for the Afro Samurai Signature series.
    I have made a few video guides that may help you.

    Although I disagree with account selling, you cannot stop it while people pay real money to upgrade their city(ies) via the shop. When they leave they want to get some of their investment back. The only way to stop people selling their accounts without being unreasonable about it, is to first close the shop and stop selling game stuff for real money. Unfortunately Envoy inc. needs that money to run the servers, pay staff, etc. So if you close the shop, you close Evony!

    When they advertise in WC, report them.
    Selling accounts is explicitly against the Terms of Service, and will result in a permaban of the account.
