    Default What Makes the Game So Addictive ?

    Amulets, Alliances, chatty Vice Hosts, the constant need to tend and check on the status, the chimera of doing something real in a virtual world, the complex systems and knowing how they integrate, the constant pressure of uncertainty, Alliance Friends, building and building that never seems to end, the intrigue of spies, the cacophony of world chat, watching your heros grow, chasing food, haggling in the market, always activity.

    Even though nothing moves
    .

    Best wishes to those who were in ICECOLD, MERC, HONOR on 131, SOLACE on 144, thePack2 on 158

    Honestly,to me.. the people. Without them it would get boring really soon I think. I mean all the love letters, Jerry Springer Drama & Bullchat is what keeps it going.



    A new study shows licking a frog can cure depression.
    Down side is, soon as you stop, the frog get depressed again.

    I think what makes someone addicted to this game is knowing they could be good at something by buying coins. Well when they buy coins they dont want to quit anytime soon or it would be just a waste.
    Thats how you get a coiner addict.
    I myself an addict and i know it. I try and play evony as much as i can, i always want to check on how my troops, buildings and specially how my food is doing.
    The constant war to feed troops makes me be in evony like 24/7
    Also some are here cause of friends and just plain all fighting.
    Different people have different reasons. These are just some of them.

    Yes it's either the people and team work and/or the thrill from being a power player that keeps people in the game. Surely not the lack of any kind of civil or intelligent conversation on WC lol.

    I retired to a zen alliance and downsized to 1 (ish) city and can go hours, even a day without thinking of Evony. I'm not missing waking up at 2am to check my account or weekend fight marathons. :P

    It might be me but seems the flavor of the game has changed, but even if I mothball my last city I'd keep an eye on what's going on.

    With time and a 12 step program you can kick the addiction to Evony.

    Yet I have to agree the whole Civony/Evony saga has been fascinating to watch.

    I think it's money. Because the more you spend, and it deliberately makes you feel like a winner than everyone else because you spend the most to win.

    Those who spend the money most on Evony wins most.
