    Well, it definitely wasn't an afterthought. The patch to fix the mechanic in the way we did required extensive modification and testing, we were also able to uncover what would have been the next wave of royal exploits, and fix those during the whole process. All in all, it was better that we waited longer with the patch.

    It seems there was a side effect to this patch on na35. ~50 players who did not have kings/queens prior to maintenance, now have lvl 100 kings/queens. Since na35 launched after the patch to prevent loss of royals, there should have been none "restored".

    Please keep us updated about the status of the royals that magically appeared for people on 34 that hadn't gotten one yet on the server.

    Sorry, but the original exploit fix should've been combined with restoring heroes from people who had them taken. That should've been something that was foreseen to be requested from people who had them wrongfully taken away over the past year or so.

    It should've all been one patch, even if that meant that plugging the exploit took a little bit longer. The way it was done gave the impression that it was a one-sided concern, even if that was not the message you intended to convey. The only other way that what was done would've been better handled is if you all announced that you were working on restoring the royals taken from players via the exploit at the same time you plugged the exploit. That would've at least been better from a customer service standpoint, although I still believe the best customer service option would've been a comprehensive all-in-one patch.

    Its kinda frustrating when the honest players are playing fair and Evony does nothing about many many many people getting a level 100 queen/king two weeks into the server from a glitch. These players get to train troops a lot faster and are completely dominating the honest players because they are severally outheroed. I can honestly say the patch did worst then what was wrong with the game. It was an attempt to make the game more fair for all players and it made the game even more uneven.

    We made an update this morning to the client fixing some of the issues seen in na35.

    Yes, about half of them disappeared yesterday on na35, but not all. There are still 1 illegitimate King and ~20 illegitimate Queens on na35. There are 20 lvl 100 queens, at any rate. At this point, I can't be certain whether any of those reached 100 on their own, but given that the first few players to get queens haven't yet reached 100, it's doubtful. My hope, is there's a way to identify the correct ones and remove them.
