The accounts team has permanently closed 50 accounts this week for repeatedly violating the sharing/multi rules and appears to have removed one of the larger alliances on a server from playing. This is in addition to around 3,000 accounts closed for verification. A large number of these accounts failed verification and remained closed. So in actuality the number of accounts closed was much much higher. This team also closed close to 20,000 flat filler/spam accounts last week.

Quote from Thantium on the Feedback thingy. So, clearly Evony recognize there is a problem with multi-accounting. Which is good! And they have closed 50 accounts - which is trivial - and suspended 3,000, which barely scratches the surface of the problem on one server let alone the hundreds in both Ages.

The trouble with Thantium's reassurance is we have heard this sort of guff before and nothing changes. Mega-players continue to use many accounts, in some cases entire alliances run by one player, and artificial aids to amass unfeasible troop numbers while Evony simply turns a blind eye.

Sadly - too little too late and I doubt any but the most gullible believe a single word.
