    Default no blame

    i dont see the evony staff blaming us for using it, they stated they understood why, but it doesnt change the fact that stoping the bug is one thing, but coming back later and taking what we earned while evony was letting us use the exploit is the real issue for me, that should not have happened.

    I'm not implying that, I'm stating it.
    To retort to your comment, your database of Hero's has a unique identifier for each Hero, including Historic Hero's and Royals. That number links it to a certain player. In your database you also have the Quests on which ones each player has completed.

    A very simple code can be run that ensures each player who has completed the Queen/King quest has a Royal within their player database.

    You knew which players had additional Royals and ran a similar database query to remove Royals in excess of 1.

    You can also run a simple query to identify which players have completed their King/Queen quest but do not have a Royal listed within their personal database profile.

    YET.... without pointing any finger for any reason, you've removed the additional Royals, but not put them back to where they were taken from. In the common statement being put out by Evony staff, you were 'levelling the playing field'.... unfortunately you haven't achieved this, people with lost Royals still do not have them. All you've achieved is alienating the vast majority of your customers - those who have had the Royals taken and the few who want it returned yet still do not have one.

    I personally had no Earthly idea this was a"Glitch" or "Bug" -- I do not know a single player in a year old server who knew this was either -- Everyone I know thought it was a Kewl aspect of gameplay -- In fact, it was thought to be a feature -- It existed for some 8 or more months before my AGE II Server came online -- Now, tell me again how anyone Exploited this?

    and yet you guys wont even admit you jumped the gun implementing this "fix" without first devising a way to restore them to their original owners? you claim that it took all this time to work out the fix so it wont interfere with other coding, bugs, creating new bugs and such yet you are unable to devise it in a way that would allow a male to keep a queen and a female to keep a king? i mean seriously guys its like one cluster**** after another

    I will say im quite a noob and havent been playing very long. I started on a server that had been opened long before i started. I had read things on this forum that lead me to believe the only way to take a queen was to take it from someone in a HC and an HC only. So i did think it was part of the game. But that was from a player not any Evony official. If that was a bug so be it. It was a bug.

    I dont spend money on this game. Mainly because i am poor and cant justify it to my wife. Do I believe that the Queens should have been able to be taken from players not really. It should have been something so each player can have one for their own use. I know it doesnt really truly level the playing field. But for a non paying player like me it is something special. Do I believe they should have been taken back no not really. The glitch was too long to say they should have taken all of them back.

    Where the problem I see is people complaining about all the money they spent to get the queens. People want that compensated. Not gonna happen. It would be one thing if Evony said buy this queen from us but never told you , that you could only have one. What you spend your money on is your choice. What you use you cents on is your choice. Its not Evony"s problem that you spent them on something that was supposed to be against the rules. Or not intended to be able to be done.

    Lets go back to talk about the person who referenced the kindle and the books. What you are talking about is way different than what was done here. If you buy a book than turn around and duplicate it and use that book for anything other than its intended use like you selling them for profit. If Amazon found a way to delete the multiple copies than they should be in their right to do so. Even if you payed for other apps to be able to duplicate them.

    The Queens were obtained in a way unintended. Sorry about your what happened but ignorance of the laws or rules is no excuse for not following them. Im not sure if its in any rule that it cant happen but if it is every one is kinda out of luck. If its not and if anyone has anything saying from Evony officials,( not anyone here but an actual evony official) saying it is part of the game than you have a case. Not a case to get your cents back but to get the queens back. And thats about it.

    Default Kings/Queens gone

    EVONY FEEDBACK AS REQUESTED ON THE LOSS OF KINGS/QUEENS
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As you have noticed we launched a patch on July 9th to remove the ability to capture multiple Kings and Queens. Evony is a constantly evolving game where we adjust the rules to keep gameplay fair and balanced, and this is not the first time we have implemented patches to prevent the ability of players to have multiple Kings and Queens. In this case we never planned for the ability of players to have multiple Kings and Queens. After this new method cropped up we allowed it to go on and monitored the situation. We have begun to see trends in gameplay from this ability that are beginning to undermine the balance of gameplay on the servers. Due to these trends we have removed this loophole that allowed players to have more then 1 King and Queen, we have also removed extra Kings and Queens from players that had multiple on their account. There will be no compensation for Royals that have been removed from an account.

    Again we never intended for players to be able to do this, and after analyzing data on the servers we determined that this action had to be made to insure the health and balance of gameplay on the servers. We wanted to keep this feature as many players liked it, but we had to choose the overall balance and health of the server as the priority.

    As for players that lost a King or Queen and no longer have one, we are working on a way for you to get a new King or Queen withing the next few days. Please watch the forums for news on this.

    Please be aware that the CS Department does not make game changes, further questions in regards to this issue will be closed. If you would like to comment or join the discussion on this please visit the forums or feedback.evony.com. Also please be aware that as per the terms of service we reserve the right to make changes to gameplay and accounts at any time. You agree to this terms when you create an account.

    We regret that this choice had to be made but the long term health of the game forced this, Good Luck Out There!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Balance and health of servers seems to be their motive......

    So I guess they should take out paying for cents then, no ??

    People capping NPC10's and getting HH's in the first day of a new server is not exactly balanced gameplay either I think.
    OH wait... That makes them money
    I get it now.........

    On top of that there are hundreds of request that would elevate gameplay, some of which are mentioned here. Those are ignored.


    Way to go evony programmers !!!!
    You left a bug for over a year for people to exploit, and now suddenly decided to act up on it ????
    Some people spent millions of troops, advanced teleports and time to find these. Mostly from inactive players.

    I will never spend a single dime on this game again, and this message has been spread all over NA7.

    I did, couldn't reply because of locks

    This is a forum and people should be able to talk about their grievances.


    If they want balanced gameplay, they should not provide the option to buy cents.
    And if they want people to pay for something, that something should not change every few months.
    They should save all that for evony3
