Thread: Server down except for a select few.

  1. #1

    Default Server down except for a select few.

    Wow my thread got locked because I correctly used the word rape to describe what had been done to our players and you completely ignore the rest of the entire post.

    From dictionary.com here are the verb definitions for Rape which seem to be 100% accurate.

    verb (used with object)

    7. to plunder (a place); despoil.

    8. to seize, take, or carry off by force.

    So now that is cleared up, how about we focus on the main point here which is that you take the servers down for 99% of the players and leave them up for a few to attack all accounts that can't be defended and ruin years of work that people put into their accounts. It takes a years and a lot of money to build up a instant wall hero and big attack heros and to lose all the work because the company running the game is a bunch of complete idiots that can't even take the server down for all players so there is even a small amount of fairness in the game is ridiculous. Here is my original post and I have changed the word rape to plunder for those people that don't have much of a grasp of the english language.

    How do you get on the list so that when the servers go down you stay on and plunder and pillage anyone at will?

    Today on facebook you post this:
    "Hi everyone, we're performing a database hardware upgrade that will result in all servers and the game forums being offline or unreachable. We'll have another update for you each hour until everything is back online"

    But you didn't knock everyone off the server. At least 2 players on ss66 were left on the server to plunder and pillage uncontested. One of our alliance members lost a city and instant wall hero during this planned downtime.

    This is not right. The entire server should have been taken down and select accounts should not have been left on to plunder defenseless players that could not log to defend themselves. This needs to be immediately addressed or this will snowball into a much bigger issue.

    Well said, Cob
    I'm also a host from ss66 and we were locked out because of your server outage and a member here lost a war city as well. I submitted a ticket to which I received no adequate response. That person still sits with a missing city and the instant heroes that were inside it.
    As you know that Evony has been crashing for hours on sometimes a daily basis, there should be something in place for this sort of horrendous mistake on your part. Banning my friends posts because they address an issue you will not is ridiculous.
    What is YOUR response Evony? Hiding only works for so long and its costly to comfort

    No, your thread got deleted (as this one will when the mods wake up and get online) because you used a politically incorrect term which the mods deemed offensive.

    See the "Freedom of Speech" sticky topic at the top of this forum? Might want to read it.

    They closed it because they don't want to address the real issue at hand. They can't explain why they left select players online to ruin accounts of people that have paid and played for years and why they are doing nothing at all to make it right for those players so they close threads that ask questions for any reason they can and ignore the others.

    I have read the stickys. Many things can be taken to be offensive depending on how they are used. The word black for example. The black car is fine. The black man may be taken as offensive. Do you lock the thread where the guy says the black car then? No of course not. Unless you didn't want to address the other concerns in that thread. There is no reason to close this thread since I only explained how the the word was used in a non-offensive and accurate manner and all other references were removed.

    All I can say is that as Evony are claiming that the server was down, but the reality is that it was not, that they now must take responsibility and compensate players who lost cities, heros and resources.

    Rather than admit that their cheep ass servers are easy to hack, and obviously someone is very pvssed off with them, they create this total phurrball excuse for the crash.

    This sort of thing has happened before, and the so called customer relations (And we all know Evony Customer relations is the biggest joke of ANY on line gaming platform) decided to give people a free days food, restored accts for players who were unfarily penalised to the position prior to the crash, and effectively in this way made some sort of apology for their server failure.

    Comes down to their sheer incompetance and now due to loss of face, they are doing an ostritch. Hiding their heads in the sand and hoping it will all go away

    Time to vote with out feet people

    We could argue all day long about the various definitions of the word 'rape' but it comes down to this; people are offended by the offhand use of that word, especially when it's used in the same context of a game.

    Your friends have lost cities and heroes because of the outage and for that I'm sorry to hear. However, don't compare that to events happening in the real world where men, women and children are victims of such terrible crimes, the details of which cannot be repeated here.

    [QUOTE=ladymae;2001511:Removed, CS ticket replies do not belong on the forums:[/QUOTE]

    Believe it or not that's an apology, whether you accept it or not that's up to you. The customer service dept can't give out compensation if asked they haven't been instructed to. That's down to the powers that be. However, keep an eye on the news page and you'll might be pleasantly surprised.

    The comment "Any questions directed to the CS department regarding compensation will be ignored." isn't a slur towards you, just explaining that if you and your friends are going to bombard the CS dept with 100's of emails demanding compensation, you won't get a reply.

    Get a grip

    The term used was accurate, to the point, and if people find the correct use of English offensive, then maybe they need to go back to Bejing?

    "Beautiful glorious color of cards in multiple organised pack of good cheer" was used to descibe a Chinese Made Tarot Deck ... lol

    That sort of English needs to be banned (IMHO) not correct use of the language

    Dear me... Evony totally stuffs up, people lose inst wall heros, cities, resources. But that's fine by Morgan, cause she didn't lose anything

    I understand perfectly

    Evony has SPECIFICALLY directed Customer Service to not service customers and help out with the issue their own failure to run a decent server created.

    Cheeep Asss Servers ... How "do" you apologise for utter, committed and dedicated focus on getting the most money for the smallest outlay?

    Oh I understand perfectly well. As I said I'm sorry to hear it but it's hardly my fault either, is it?

    Y'all go on about how Evony treats players badly and their CS is terrible (to a degree, I agree they could do better) but some of the comments posted here and elsewhere are just as bad. Respect breeds respect, try and be constructive and help maybe much more forthcoming. I know this because I worked in customer service for 15 years. Customers who were unnecessarily rude only got the minimum help (general terms across the board), those more constructive got the extra mile. Worth thinking about.
