I am sure there are many of those on Age 1 looking for a challenge, and while Atlantis or HCs might provide that option they stick to Age I due to the familiarity and thinking Age II was some stupid rip-off of Age I. To be honest, I was wacked out by the blue screen in Beta and thought I would never get used to it, but I did. Its nice you have actually made the switch, apparently not an easy thing to do for some people.

What some Age I players can't seem to grasp is that many Age II players (especially some of the better ones) originated in Age I and have been playing since '09 and the early age I servers. Generally, Age II players seem to respect Age I players more while Age I players seem to think of Age II players as the runts of Evony.

I personally believe that neither is better than the other (except for the lag, of course), and that it is merely personally a matter of preference. Some may like the facebook tools and reduced troop costs plus added challenge's with Age II, while those on Age I like the orginal method, with nobody whining about the game being over once Atlantis gets capped.
and you broke down the age 1 vs 2 issues so much better than i could have, we should combine our powers and use them for evil

thats fine but i was simply pointing out that many of the issues you have with age 2 are things you can do on age 1 but not on 2

also i suggest when youre in a better position to, find yourself a better alliance. the 1 youre in currently does not sound great

also there are many age 1 players that made this transition and become beasts on age 2, the main ppl i learned from were former age 1 players and some of these are on the forums, hopefully 1 of them will come across this thread and be able to offer you some pointers
