i think it's safe to say that if evony isn't dead it is dying. The player rates and forum activity have dropped exponentially over the past few months i know of several steadfast devoted players who are leaving the game purely because there is nothing left in it. The only real thing keeping most people around anymore is the friends that they play with. Evony is purely going to suck the last shreds of profit out of this game that they can and then leave it behind.
I always considered Evony a GREAT game, not an ok one, but then again I hadn't played a video game since Zelda 2 prior to Evony and haven't played any other games since. However what was said here about the complete disregard for the customers, and poor ( if any ) customer service definitely hit the nail on the head. There is a sort of "make it up as we go along" policy regarding the rules and the penalties for breaking them and when that sort of atmosphere is created it just causes general distrust. Rightfully so I might add, there is no reason to trust that justice will eventually abound, however, with that being said what makes Evony a GREAT game in my mind is still true today as it was when I started on s13. I love the mechanics of the game, the social aspect, and the variety of strategies involved, for example you can spend a season trying to get the most out of the market, then move your concerns to leveling heroes, then move to trying to survive off of plunder. Those things don't change, and if you can tolerate never knowing what sort of radical and disastrous change might be introduced, then removed (i.e. no paypal, comforting changes... ) then you can still enjoy the game.

Yep most of my friends from my first server have moved on ...but the ones that i have contacts with ( FB ) feel its time to move on. This game can take up a lot time and it dose get to be a chore to feed u troops and attack if u have the time...but the game is a good social platform to make new friends from other countries and to kill a few bogans...lol
you can tell things are bad when the most posts and intelligent discussions of a thread is made by mods.
This post made me go and start a profile here. Don't know why but figured it is about time. Been here playing and reading the forums since the beginning of NA4. There are some new players coming in from server to server and some of them have gotten good fast but I do like to see the older players around from time to time. The game is not dead but it needs a little revamp. I have never played age 1 so cant speak to it but age 2 could use a Super Super server or a few. I would love to see the colonize only servers all merge. All colonize/attack servers up to na20 merge and then na21-na45. It is a hopeless thought but if the bugs and kinks could be worked out it is not completely outrageous of an idea in comparison of the activity that the older age2 servers used to have. I enjoy this game and have for a long time now but without change I find myself losing interest with the same bs day after day and am not a server jumper due to RL. I have evolved with the game and new players and new exploits which have damaged game play. As well as dealing with evony taking away ammys and multi royals and multi taps and all that other good stuff I enjoyed, glitch or not. The glitches and exploits and all the fighting has created an overall gaming experience. Though most of the people I have known over the servers are gone I would still like the game to stay exciting. I always see allot of complaining on the forums and less thought out attacking/deffense guides and theories for how to effectively play the game. Bots are everywhere on the game and that is obvious but experience and mechanics win the game. GIVE ME A AGE2 SUPER SERVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
end rant here
I agree w/ most of the posts on here. I will have played for 4 years this June, and I love this game. I've been lucky to play on mostly active servers but I agree 100% with the fact that if Evony doesn't add any new elements....the game will slowly die out. I know the idea of an Age II merge must have many logistical problems but if there is any way you think it can work, please do it- for the sake of all of the faithful veterans and all of the eager newcomers. I feel like the game has become more of a routine since no new kinks have been in added in for what feels like forever. It would be nice for the new players to get to experience what us veterans have, the mysteriousness and never ending discoveries that made the game really worth playing! That was way funner than having someone just teaching them everything they know without them having to find out/experiment for themselves.![]()
Im not having problems?
Is there any reason for someone like me to come back or will I just be frustrated??
theres always a reason to come back to evony![]()
when did pigs grow wings and fly???
