They farm, build, grow and many attack, they take cities, they lose cities - and maps are crowded and states are full. Yet the number of active players is dropping. Daily, weekly, but dropping. All servers want new blood, but where would they go?
The states are crammed full on most servers, to make it even interesting and have enough live players you would need to merge three or four super servers. They won't all fit on the map anymore.
Evony staff have moved on to their new game, they don't seem to plan to expand the map sizes to accommodate the massive amounts of cities or accounts that would need to be moved for any of the super servers to merge together. Programming takes money and time and Evony may simply no longer see any profit in rewriting code to make the maps so much larger.
Instead they open new servers and merge them every few months, leaving the super servers to slowly be crushed under the weight of the alts.
To get merges instead of pulling a server wide truce or closing your wallets, maybe you should turn off some auto farmed extra accounts.
Radical thought here - what if everyone quit running lots and lots of accounts? What if players all agreed to throttle back to a smaller number of accounts, fewer cities, fewer troops and found they could live with it? Then maybe older servers could have merges too.
It might be a question of what is more important - a dying server with dozens of alts, billions of res and troops? Or smaller accounts, fewer alts and brand new opponents?
Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. But since what we have tried so far has not gotten us anywhere, maybe we should change the way we do things and see if it gets us where we want to go. After four years of playing I'm not excited about starting over on a new server just to get new faces, I want to meet new opponents with the account and heroes I've spent money to build. Think about it, what do we have to lose?
