    SS37 just had some cleared not more than 2 or 3 days ago. Just got back from maintenance a bit ago to find that they have already cleared more. It's getting to be nearly impossible to keep troops fed anymore.

    Guess I'll be resetting this account soon and then that's it, I'm done. I find Castlot to be much more fun and not the least bit aggravating, so they've gained my loyalty.

    you are all missing the point.

    The NPCs get cleared to allow the flat fillers to fill the flats so that Evony can sell ports.

    duh

    stop hating, at least theres flats now to port to, i remember when people just locked down their entire state, that was a pain for attackers.

    i can only speak from experience and i'm on an old server (wn2)
    my farming fields (which were flats) have been cleared but only once in the past year or so

    my farming fields were left alone while 10's and 5's nearby were cleared
    the player in the middle of them had been zeroed so maybe they weren't farmed
    there were some B5s near me that are now 10's and stay 10's
    i upgraded them a while back

    but...there is a B8 near my base
    once i capped it and ported it away so i could have a 10 in it's spot
    then one day it was a B8 again while none of the rest of my fields changed

    so it looks like (at least to me)
    if barbs are farmed, they don't get cleared very often
    if a barb is a natural, eg never was a flat
    it will revert back to server setting with each clearing
    blessed are the geeks: for they shall inherit the earth

    Still no logical answer to my post from management about clearing flats every other day. There is NO REASON for this. It does not make us spend more money, it does not make us fight the reds more, and it sure does not make this game more enjoyable. I spend half my time on flat opening day, re-npc'ing them and building troops to be ready to do it again. I can understand 1 time a week, but omg, every other day?
    Additionally, it appears management does not even care about the multitude of flat fillers people are using. We close off flats as best we can, but it matters not, you let them place 100's of flat fillers in our state. This is a clear violation of the rules and has been reported myriad times but yet again, management cares not and wont put a stop to it.

    Default might have to quit

    I might have to consider quitting myself. I used to have 12-15 npc 10's within 5 miles around most of my cities, now I have 4-5 npc 10's. These npc's get farmed twice a day without fail and are now lvl 1-5. My cities usually carry a 25-30 mil/hr food bill and I can't feed my troops with lvl 5's. I have never lost a city in this game but Evony is successfully killing all my cities. I will have to kill off troops simply because I will be unable to feed them. What a horrible game this has become, I think I will be moving on.

    Evony will open flats to improve the ability for ppl to war. However, with each npc clearing, more and more fillers are being used. Here is a simple solution...
    Fillers are killing this game. Everyone who has an alt account is in violation of the rules. Make it so when a new account is started, a confirming email is sent out to the email address activating the account. This will stop all the new dummy accounts from being created, stop them dead in their tracks. You could even go one further by sending out a confirmation email to all existing players under 500k prestige. This would totally eliminate accounts already created on bogus email addresses.

    On our 3rd maintenance in 24 hours.

    Anyone recall the comments made by Evony Officials on this forums about NPC clearing ?

    Best wishes to those who were in ICECOLD, MERC, HONOR on 131, SOLACE on 144, thePack2 on 158

    The Evony admins should be clearing out all the dead accounts that crowd the servers.

    Of course they should also be enforcing their rules about bots and alt accounts, so who really cares if they periodically clear out a few npcs?

    At least the game isn't as weak as Age II.
