It's a question that runs through a lot of player's minds when you wake up once again and find.... yes dozens of empty flats. Yet again. Your level 10s are now 1s, your level 5s are now 6's and there in the flat 1 mile from you is your old friend's city who you know quit over a year ago.

Evony do you really not listen to your customers at all? Or is it intentional? Are you trying to kill off Age 1 servers?

Yes you say the game was never meant to be about making NPCs, it's a war game and you should be able to teleport any where and hit anyone at anytime. And remember sharing keys is against game rules.

Well guess what that's not how the game is played. Any idiot knows that defences and Logistics are two integral parts of a war game. Yet once again you have ruined several hours of game play by causing me and countless others to scurry around like rats capping flats and npcing them. You have reduced my food making ability by destroying 10s and 5s. And you?ve let the enemy sneak a beginner in 1 mile from me ruining my defences. And why? To create space for new people to join the server? That doesn?t happen, new players cannot get medals to advance so are basically food until they quit and go to a new server. To allow people to port to attack? Fighting alliances have no problem porting. Removal of the fake beginners allows porting. So why take the level 5 & 10 NPCs?

A friend of mine commented that eventually the servers will be full of beginner accounts and low level flats. Would not be surprised if he ends up right. I love the game and have played it for almost 2 years now; I only ever consider quitting when I wake up and logon only to find once again that Evony has struck.

So I have a suggestion ? why not ask the players in a specific state if it needs to be emptied? In Age 2 you have a weekly ballot for governor, well set up something similar but for asking players if they want their state emptied. Remove accounts that have not been logged into since the start of this server (archive them so the owners could reclaim them with all their goodies). And for heavens sake don?t take our 5s & 10s.
