I have been talking with people in my alliance, and it seems like the clearing of our farm NPC's by Evony is likely to make many of us quit. Most of us coin to a greater or lesser extent, and all of us have been playing for over a year. Several of us have cancelled our auto-cents.

Personally, I cancelled my auto-cents today and wrote a protest letter to Evony.

Here is the letter I submitted using the in-game "Contact Us" function:

I have cancelled my auto-cents subscription. I have spent a fair bit of money on this game (I'm sure you can check your records and see how much I've coined for myself and some for my alliance mates as well).

Your removal of my NPC farms makes it extremely difficult to continue playing.

Without NPC's to farm, I cannot maintain my troop levels, so every time you remove my farms I have to go into holiday mode for nine days while I wait for the flats to level back around to being farmable again.

By the time I can take my account out of holiday, other players have moved into my fields. I think your policy of removing NPC's is completely ruining the game. I'm sure it won't be long until I quit altogether if you continue doing this.


Here is another letter written by the host of my alliance:

I have been an active player on this game for along time now. I am cancelling my autocents account. I find your actions deplorable in randomly removing flats. You have no concept of how difficult that makes things in-game. I now cannot feed troops and I am vulnerable to every enemy I have. You think this is a way to "liven" up the game to make it more interesting. I am the host of the #5 strongest alliance. At least half my people are considering quitting as a result of as a result of your continued actions. Let us play the game and quit playing god. Your actions are terrible. Not even to mention how your utter lack in stopping players from creating bogus accounts to fill flats that they can remove and port in at their whim. Simply unbelievable. I am quite sure that I will not hear a response back and that is fine. But just know that you are ruining an entire server great job and well done.


Please note that my major complaint is not that I am being opened to attack. It's that without farms I cannot feed my troops, and am forced to go into holiday mode to avoid refuge. This effectively means I cannot play the game for 9 days every time Evony removes my farms. It also means that I have to work at dislodging people who port into my fields during the 9 days before I can rebuild them.

We are not small players being pushed around by big coiners. In most cases, we are Prinz players who have large numbers of troops and need to have farms to feed them.


At the suggestion of a moderator here, I also submitted this to Evony via the HelpCenter function.
