If that is the case, then I doubt if Evony is ever going to do anything to fix it because it is a database scalability issue, and they've run into the max transactions per second that the database can accomodate given its' current design.
I honestly think the only way out of this problem is for us customers to start playing legitimately, one account per person. With the rampant amount of multi-accounting, you have more cities than what would otherwise normally be there, thus for every extra alt, you have extra cities, and thus extra database load.
