    Default Goodbye: Retirement from evony and what needs to change. (revised)

    This is essentially a re-post of my previous goodbye to the evony and forums which was deleted in the last couple of days due to the fact that it was seen as advertisement for competitors of evony. Any part that could be seen as such has been removed as the main purpose of this post is to serve the gamers with an understanding of what is wrong with gameplay and the devs as well.

    Well, after over three and a half years of intermittent game-play, I have decided to finalize my retirement from evony. I have played 7 servers; the first three i started as a relative noob finally finding my mentor and now friend Mark who is one of the best players I have met along my way. He taught me much about battle and game mechanics which he learned from Domi and crew on s69 long ago. i played in an alliance that managed to take the second 16 of the server on na24 which mark coordinated. with him and a few others i went to na31 and played in alliance hwarang for a few months before we broke off and went to s152 for a break from age2. there we ended up joining with old friends of marks and i learned a lot about server play in general and battle mechanics. I actually realized that as an age2 player and noob simply by playing an age1 server i could and did become a better age2 player as well. after playing s152 for 6-8 months i was burned out and had to take time to focus on school. lol, at that time i had said i was done. no more evony for me ... of course i kept in touch with mark and he tempted me with the possibility of atlantis on na42 with our crew from s152 including players like 2fly4u, gwar, dragonk, 2crazy4u and another couple of players they were with on s158 where their group walked around the server carrying around 3 mil rams and other assorted mech. on na42 we had no alliance of our own and so joined the second of a three family alliance known as WickedII. we played our own game cutting out places for our group in bohemia while assisting the alliance in leadership and taking hcs. unfortunately though we were building quickly we were not able to cap atlantis and each of our 2-3 attempts to capture 16s were thwarted by spies implanted by other alliances. Our crew quit that server soon after Wicked was broken up and became Heritage and we started prepping for a server 2 months away: na44. We started recruiting players from na42, 152, na31, na24, and previous contacts mark fly gwar and dk had. In the end we had close to 25 players that were on bored to start all with extensive playing experience though none with 18 experience and mostly minimal 16 exp. These players included Aesh, Mikol, Mordred, "Trev"/csa01, Fistalot. along with the help of mark and fly i started to construct spreadsheets of what would be needed to hit 16s and Atlantis. i obtained links, guides, information from some people from my past on evony as well as players on the forums like xTonyx. a week before the server started I decided to write up an objectives page for our alliance to keep us on track. it included things like keeping a small tight-knit group, capture 5 hc 16s, and fly under the radar. well we pretty much accomplished those objectives. Many underestimated us and discounted us for several weeks and even a month into the server; The smart ones however did not. As the original group CandySto we took 2 HCs and had only added in 1 player from na44 who we had not known before; Grizzly. We then accepted more players - a small group of Rome (?) players including Stella. Soon it became prudent to grow our alliance into a stronger and bigger force with a few blues. During this time we flourished and captured many 14s in our states and I was elected to governor after mark's nomination the week before I left for College. Then I went to college and had a much lesser presence on the server and alliance and in some ways the alliance began to slip. As always happens, drama erupted and sh!t happened. CandySto, now 187 and contained ex-Rome members, split to 21. The majority of the members who were left were ex-Rome/Chevy-fanatics (the new host was Chevy). Throughout evony, I have noticed that much of the time those who have the knowledge and coordination abilities are considered top of the server. Great heroes and knowing how to use them helps too... This server as it stands now is different.

    Even from the beginning it was quite different. In skype around a month and a half into the server i heard and allegation by a an ex-red that the leadership of his former alliance had talked in a room which he was a part of about having used the coin glitch on na41 and then transferring 15-20k coins to na44 in order to obtain a 15 star set and in some way also glitch the stars. From that, to the fact that selling is rampant and the only way to be considered among the best on the server is to have 10+ alt accounts from which you draft, I am just done with the game. I will admit I have botted on my last 3 servers and I feel I can't continue to feed into the broken system evony has become. I used an alt on two servers: na17 where i ran two alliances (neither account interacted with the other ever) and s152 where i ran an alt for like 2 days before i practically forgot about it. Honestly i want to see the game go back to where SKILL is needed to play. Actual skill in Evony not "skill" as in how many coins you can buy on however many accounts and then suz them to draft troops. The players I would consider the best would love to see bots and multiaccounting gone ... that includes most of my original na44 friends and crew ...

    So goodbye, my friends. I have enjoyed these forums and may post and look around if the need or want arises and I may still be on evony in a consultancy capacity but not much more.

    If anyone wants to contact me or needs information/help please skype me at: stalnepolhissein (and add in evonyforums).

    For now goodbye and I hope positive drastic changes are made in the game

    ps: after years of playing i will be creating a thread detailing advice on alliance building/formation and administration to help anyone that may need it for starting new alliances in the future.

    I'm not about to read through it to make a determination, acer can do that... but it's generally a bad idea to repost something that has been deleted before.

    I've not seen one forum where that is welcomed. Just an FYI.

    I was actually refering to jupiter's post continuing a joke about na44 from the previous post (nothing about any other game). also i read through what i re-posted and saw that it was comments made btwn me and others on the forums after the original post that prompted the infraction and deletion of post...

    Bots have been a recurring problem for evony. While the solution is sooooo simple. Evony, just get rid of the warehouses. Warehouses have no use but to make the bot be able to close gates without being farmed dry. Lose the warehouse, lose the bots effectiveness in keeping a city indefenetely. I even heard of Altantis being filled with 40 warehouses!! Is this what evony is all about? 40 warehouses, and have a bot comfort indefenetely?

    ummm take a look around, warehouses dont do nuthin no more.
    12s, 14s and 16s are falling on a regular basis. Even Atlantis has fallen to PVP
