    to my understanding,
    the last 5, maybe more age 2 servers have been subject to a great decline of accounts being made at server start.
    less and less players are going.

    minus the 0 prestige accounts that never even build a cottage,
    minus the accounts below 5,000 prestige.
    in the first full day of na 48, there were less than 2,700 accounts.
    deduct the pi quota for average alts.
    and you get a rough average of 800-1600 range of accounts.
    after i believe 4 days, there were only 55 alliances that seemed legit.
    i remember servers where there were upwards of 118,000 to 180,000 newby accounts in the first 24 hours.
    average 30,000 active players with 2-3 alts.
    i dont just play evony blindly. like a brainless drone.
    i watch for trends as well.
    im a numbers guy,
    i also like to study.
    now i am not active on age 1, save an occasional visit every so often.
    but if the mass majority of " new" players get directed to age 2 upon start up...
    the majority seems more like a minority.
    last summer aether1 gave some hope,
    5 months ago i reported of this decline.
    so many people have came up with tons of ideas for a age 3, aether concepts.
    other in game fix ideas for age 1,2.
    the haunted/christmas castle was an awesome idea.
    the collect 10 somethings for exchange for 1 something to open event was awesome as well.
    ya just dont listen/ execute/evolve enough, fast enough.
    this isnt M.A.S.H. I love Lucy Andy Griffeth show.
    same ole repeats arent fun like the above examples of nostalgia.
    i see the writting on the wall.
    hide and watch....

    I tend to agree with KILLTHREAT. Although I'm not into numbers I can see quite a decline forming. Ss61 as a super server started with around 20 odd alliances, it now has about 6 active. I started out on 84, back then it started with 40-50 alliances. Even when the server merged with 128 and 129 it still had around 10-14 active alliances, some of the smaller joined larger ones in preparation for the server merge.

    That said, 84 (being the top alliance) and 43 on ss61 are VERY active and chatty. So there signs of alliance teamwork and camaraderie, maybe we are looking at it too pessimistically.

    Thanks to Infinitus for the epic B'day pressie!

    Funny you should ask that...

    Why, Nathan whatever do you mean by that comment?

    Something to do with the fourth birthday of Evony? Maybe the present to the players left on the servers will be the long awaited merges?

    if evony wasnt so much grown to be all about coin and who can coin the most then evony would still be thriving. but when the game became all about who can spend the most money get the highest hero and most citys. just by hitting up paypal. thats when the game started going down hill. i remember when i started on s88 hardly any coiners and people worked for the things they had. thats when the game in my opinion was at its best. sighs

    Just my opinion, but the decline of Evony, to me seemed to begin at the same time as the facebook tie in.

    If you ask me this is a lot of the problem.. its taking to long for merges. 144 is well over 2.5 years and still waiting. Such great players are leaving cause it has just taken to long

    Hi all, just reading this thread has made me want to post for the first time in what seems like a few years.

    Personally, what i feel is killing the game (as well as the forums) is not SO much the botters, but the huge amount of alts. If you don't have 10 feeders, your a nobody. It's that simple, and for players like me that takes away some of the fun of the game, knowing no matter how hard you try, you can't compete with a guy with 10 or 20 feeder accounts. I find it hard enough to manage 1 so i know i'll always be a small fish in a big sea. When you have 4 or 5 alliances with 100 players each with names like Nos01 Nos02 Nos03 up to 100 you know you have a huge problem. It's been that way for a long time, with nothing done about it.
    5 or 10 times a day you see a main player "defeat" lets say Nos32 and end up on your door step with 10m mech and 200m scouts. How do you think that makes a guy with 1 account playing by the rules feel?
    Just my 2 cents all, evony reps can talk about new players all they want, i see the "new players" every day...I'm sure Nos99 will join tomorrow sometime...Again, not here to bad mouth eveony reps or anything, just giving my 2 cents.

    I gave up on evony a while back...I check the forums every few months when I'm bored to see if the evony execs have come to their senses. I can see they haven't.

    I quit because I refuse to cheat. That includes alts, bots, acct sharing, etc. I actually like to coin and realize there will always be someone who can out spend me. I have no problem with that. But the blatant cheating that has been allowed by evony has killed this game. I started on s75, played there for many months before taking a break and starting my first age 2 server, na7. Had great fun there and made many friends. Played numerous other age 1 and 2 servers before quitting for good. I would be open to returning if evony would get its act together. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening.

    To those of you still playing by the rules, I commend you.
