    As for the ppl getting the cities closest to 16s. For me this is a no issue. After my first failed attempt at a 16 and getting smoked by pult regen. I wouldn't be counting on return waves to drop the loyalty of a 16, which is all having a city next to the capital does.

    If you have the troops and know how to crack a 16, might as well wait a few more days, build a few million more archers and camp the loyalty waves. Just my 2 cents.
    I see your point. In my case, there is a TH lv10 inactive city right under the 16, and I won a few 15 ensign packs lately so I would probably move my mech in there and mech spam it. I have a mech fetish. Sorry for OT.

    I really think evony should leave it up to players to decide. If they want money to keep rolling in, poll your users on the ability to conquer cities. If the majority doesn't want the change, evony doesn't lose anything. If they do want the attack button, evony can only gain more.

    I have sometimes thought that an opinion poll may be a decent idea, but all it will really accomplish is the resurrection of the issue of the attack option. I suppose someone could try to post one in the server sections, but I think it is a bad idea for there to be one made by the company.

    If you want to keep your city, defend it. If you're too weak to defend it, then too bad.
    Colonization is pointless.
    I'm in the same boat and totally agree. It is a war game afterall people.

    Why on earth Evony decided to break this by forcing all players on newer Age II servers to play Age I style is beyond me.... Why even call it Age II if the gaming environment is forcing players to play Age I style??

    By forcing your customers to play in this environment you will need to build less servers, players can join late and "dead" servers will be a thing of the past. Evony, grow some balls and stop letting a few players who scream and shout sway your decisions.
    Contrast this with...

    I only run in one direction.... straight into challenges.
    Seriously, this rant isn't about protecting new players or better overall gameplay; it's about preserving your ability to run "straight into challenges" and mock the heavy hitters without exposing yourself to risk. Evony isn't the one who needs to "grow some balls" here.

    But TCW, you cannot use that as a reason as to why players don't move. Spending alot of time and money on accounts rarely stops hardcore players from starting on a new server. And I had invested time and money into Age I but moved to Age II when it came out because I did not want my player built cities to get capped. So if I moved to Age II and sacraficed my prior time and investment into Age I, then why can't others move to a gaming environment they prefer? Again, besides, hardcore Age I style players always jump on the new servers regardless of how much they have built up on an existing server.
    It's like hardcore players LOVE jumping on new servers all the time. I have had a number of players ask me why I don't move to a new server because Na4 is "dead". They just don't understand that most mature players are not going to want to jump around like a wild mustang with the rest of the young bucks.I point to Foxybunny as an example. Foxybunny has said many times before that she prefers older servers when the mad rush is over.

    That is another point I was going to be mentioning. The reason some may not want to move to an attack server is exactly the reason you mention.

    Evony cannot poll users because:
    1. It would need to be a IN-GAME poll since 99.999999% of new AND CONTENT players never post in the forums. Forum polls do not represent the player base.
    2. If it was a in-game poll then inexperienced and new players whould have no idea what the poll was about. Inexperienced and new players barely understand the concept of leveling a hero or selling resources or building iron/wood cities or layering waves or properly defending their cities. So how on earth could valid polls come from the new and inexperienced players? This means that experienced players overwhelm the polls making the polls very unbalanced.

    They would just send an in-game system mail linking them to the forum post as they did when the new customer service system was released.

    Man, I wish Evony would let me call the shots on game direction. If they did then their player base would grow far faster than it is. It is frustrating to stand by and watch bad decisions get made about a game I totally dig and that has so much potential. Ug, another example of some young coders trying to make some money on an idea. I hope to god I am not watching another implosion of a great idea brought on by tech egos and bad business decisions....
