    ok so this mean that nothing is going to happen in evony?

    all the clues were just so a person could win a prize?

    I really do not get this marketing ploy at all.

    If the aim is to raise interest among existing players then WHY wasn't this advertised in game?

    If it is to a potentially new audience then WHY isn't this undergoing some serious advertising?

    If we are being used to advertise this then WHY not give feedback on clues and keep what little hype there is rolling?

    Surely its better to have everyone engaged and excited than fed up because they cant solve it.

    Its like the guy dangling the carrot ate it just before the horse reached it.

    Sure there have been a few snide digs at Evony dropped in between the guesses from a minority but for the main the spirit and enthusiasm has been there...and would STILL be there with a bit of feedback.

    For one (in case it hasn't been obvious) have really enjoyed the clues, its been fun and educational too. I could beat a pub quiz team solo now for the amount of trivia learned in this journey. But now that enthusiasm has been replaced by frustration.

    I really hope whatever it is its good and doesn't involve going out and buying a gadget.

    ...and yea, it's next week now

    if this was a new game, or an age 3 or whatever, one would think they would have just simply advertised it right out in the open to get potential players.

    many of us are now convinced that this may 6th thing may be whats holding back na42 from coming out.

    Since it has not been advertised publicly, it is most likely something meant to keep current players satisfied or interested as opposed to pleasing new ones. (Maybe all the trash people have said on the forums and about the game actually paid off?) This most likely means it is an app and/or addition to the current game, as these are both targeted at existing players instead of new ones.

    And it is possible that they are holding na42 back because it will be the first server to have the aether-1 add-on as part of it. Although to be fair, its not exactly that delayed in coming out yet anyways.

    If guesses of being able to access other worlds are correct then maybe the hold back is to prevent servers preparing, forming server wide coalitions, building in preparation, strategically placing cities etc.

    Alternatively it could be to prevent a pre-deluge of 'what ifs...', 'how' and of course those comments that are negative.

    I dunno, I just want to know what blasted clue 2 is meant to look like, lol...Dot to Dot for the criminally insane.

    This seems tobe the most vague and, "inside joke"-ish, thread lmao

    It was then where it will be now, so this may be when we get there to see these things. You could go towards a move into their direction with the clue of stars and rice cakes.


    O.0 where the flunk love am i?

    Maybe i don't see the point..
    EDIT: I ,for sure, dont see the point
    <23:17>[Class E]: this game could be awesome

    you know in some way it do make sense

    like evony cut down the time from a merge are announced to the merge happens
    to make it a bit harder to really prepare - and make serverwide or crossserver diplomacy.

    the same here if they were out 2 month before it actually happen - alot of ppl would have prepared for this - in all possible ways. like ppl do when we do merges collecting stat on next door servers ect

    that is also why i think it is features in game which change - and not a brand new age 3 which we would see online add for every where

    and as i think it is new or changed features - they have to try to handle the main issues in game which make ppl either stop playing, drift off to other games or stop using money

    and all here really can name 5 things which make game not as fun as it was in start

    a) no new challenges (new players ) so some way of finding new ppl to war
    b) maintaining an army - it is hard to maintain an army (and survive ) and run a normal life with family and work at the same time
    c)new goals in game - besides the pure war stuff
    d) lag - but thats really only a subset of ppl trying to help solve a-c

    so i for one hope whatever comes the 6 th do solve some of this as it is sad to see u friends in evony dwindle away each day and start play something else

    even tho i honestly don't run a bot i can see the use for them. the thing that ticks me off most is alts there whats ruining the game most for me and others i know. people thinking there badazz because they have 10,20, or whatever amount of accounts all with 10 cities feeding there main account so they can run a huuuuge army and somehow think there awesome because of it. myself and a few other people i know on my server would be more than happy if evony put more focus on stopping alts then the bots.its the bots that are running all day long on multiple accounts to feed the 1 account thats lagging the game up more so then the average joeblow who runs a bot to farm for him on his only account while hes at work coz he dont have the time to feed his smallish army.

    i dont know - but it would be a smart thing if evony made changes that it in the deeper gamedynamic changed thing so ppl did not feel they needed an alt.

    but as it is now i think it is an evil circle - and to try break it in 1 cut would as they say it here in my country --- cure the patient - but sr he died---

    but i hope they do try change some of the fundamentals - this was really a great game when i started to play and can be again
