    I'm happy with the little niche I have made for myself. I am not much more than a token presence on the servers, but I bring insights from the forum to whatever alliance I'm in. I bring my knowledge to the table, even if I no longer bring the power. By staying active, even in a minor role, I can keep up with changes in-game. By staying active, I can be a better contributor on the forums (especially in H&Q).
    "You must spread blah blah friggin blah"

    Very well said.

    There are many player who used to be powerhouses but can no longer find the time, the energy, the drive, or the motivation to keep up the 6-10 city deal. I myself have dropped down to a single city more than once, on servers that I didn't have time for.

    Just because somebody has a single city doesn't mean they aren't useful in any way shape or form. Can't fight the major wars? Strategize and send res to the fighters. Or, become a diplomat.

    Having a single city doesn't make one a 'noob' (unless they're still a civillian or knight and started on a server that had NPC medal drops. That's not lack of time, that's just pure laziness ;p ). It just shows they probably don't have as much time or dedication to the game as they used to.

    Several things have surprised me over the past few weeks. Well, I don't know if "surprised" is the right word, as I've known this was the way of things for a while now.

    What I mean is the flat out openness of discussion about breaking "rules". They're really no longer rules, considering the lack of enforcement.

    There's this thread, along with several others where people have started saying that they're thinking about the "join em" part of "If you can't beat em, join em".

    I don't have an alt. I never have had an alt. Someone that used to be in another alliance that is now in my alliance has at least one alt, possibly two. I recall a group message a couple of weeks ago from him stating how so-and-so was his alt (were his alts?) and to not attack them. He's now using his main account or an alt to either manually or bot-farm the NPCs around me. How can I be sure it's him? Well, I can't, not 100%, but the fact that he's in alliance chat bragging about how many mechs he's been able to produce, coupled with the fact that when he was in the previous alliance and I stood up to someone else who I thought was not respecting borders, he (or someone on his account - he also account-shares) threatened me if I didn't "apologize" to the other person.

    If I report him, I know nothing will happen, just like nothing has happened to the other people I've reported, including one directly to an employee.

    Oh well... Such is the way of things...

    all i have to say about this thread is a big whopping PFFFFFT

    More cities= More troops. Thats all having many cities means. It's easy to assume that a 1-3 city player is an alt because the acct takes less then nothing to maintain. and we all know it's true especially on older servers that most players down to one city are either inactive or alts. This is not an offensive message towards people who play downscaled, simply a message stating that you are the minority

    We all know what the deal is lets not tomato tomahto this crap up the wazoo.

    yup there are people that know so much about the game and when real life gets bussy again they just cant keep up anymore. But when they go down to one city they still can be arround. look at reports - give advice what to send in attacks or how to defend...

    right now i have 9 cities - think ofgoin down to 8 but then i might have problems to feed my troops...

    people worry about the day me having no time anymore already, cause i am one of those that help out and guide thru attacks and defence - even port closer to the red to help my memebrs. I might go aswell down to one city then to help and teach now and then.

    on my server the alts are stuffed with cities people capped from reds or with converted 10s and then put in alliances so hey can see when one gets hit and truce..
    But we also have 10s of 1 city alts.
    a player on my server let his alts/noobs cap every 10 next to him - that way its impossible to get next to this city since you cant cap a one city account...

    the pic shows just a small few on this area - would take 4 to 5 to cover it all but you get an idea...

    An expierienced player who has downsized can choose at a moments notice to bring his city count up. In the world of evony ,there will always be countless resources and cities to go around for all of us.

    That said,I don't see what all the fighting s about.

    One of the resources that runs out are available flats.
    Players with alts are abusing the system for personal gain and they kill servers by reducing the available spaces to tele or build.

    I found a similar guy like this on my server too. Around one of his cities he has 18 cities that are obviously his feeder cities. the scary thing is that there are only 2 accounts for the 18FEEDER cities, so he basicly has 2 War cappable accounts with 9 cities, feeding his one war ready account. i am so jealus of him ecause im not even a prinzzessin yet and only have 4 cities.
