    Me personally doesn't care about botters or not....everyone does it....but the excuse from evony stating it is causing the lag is inconsistent, oh well will see when it comes round to me NOT spending in support of SS77...Oh and server activity has decreased...come take a look

    ????
    if you want names PM me
    I don't need names. No Evony employee would ever reveal on their personal account that they work for uCool. It is against policy and they would be fired. Whoever is saying they work for us is yanking your chain. Feel free to laugh in their faces.

    So dawn, will you atleast budge and move the IP connection to 10 ? That way there is no situation a legitimate player will be IP locked out. ss75 got the IP limit moved to 10 so why cannot ss77 get the same ?

    I am a little confused at what the complaint is in this thread. Is it that Evony is limiting the number of accounts that can be logged in per unique IP address? Or is it that people on that server think they cannot run a bot anymore? Or both?

    I do not play on the server this is about, I play on ss73 (it is the merge of ss64/156/161). I played on ss64. So technically ss73 is my second merge with the same account that I started on the first day of the original server, with no gaps in play time for me. That means almost 4 years of continuous play on the same server, so to speak. And let me tell you people a couple things.

    #1--Just to get it out of the way, all of you people threatening to reset and never coin again from this server.....give it up. There are WAY WAY more people who play Evony by server hopping and starting on new servers each time one opens. And those people coin more on that new server than every "veteran" on your server coins. And that is PER NEW SERVER. So Evony will lose nothing other than your b*tching if you reset. They will still make as much money as they ever have.

    #2--Like it or not, Evony is in charge of their TOS. Yes, botting is against TOS, it always has been, as well as multi-accounting (having alts). Technically Evony has disciplined those who have violated the TOS by banning accounts, some for 1 day, some for 3 days, and others permanently. They have not, however, done it in a consistent or blanketed effort. So basically those of you who want them to continue overlooking YOUR violation of TOS just because they have until this point, are in an uproar because its now your turn for the discipline. I understand, it sucks. You have worked hard on your 100 alts. But all the while in the back of your mind you knew this was always a possibility.

    #3--I am what you would call an "old school" Evony veteran. I remember the days of the game before botting and alts became the norm. And it was AWESOME! Do I have alts now? Yes. Do I bot? Yes. Would I like to go back to having normal troop counts (and have that small amount of troops be competitive)? Hell yes. Thats where skill, knowledge of game mechanics, reliance on your alliance mates and real server wide diplomacy comes into play, and it makes for a much more fun game than what Evony has become. Do I coin? I have in the past. I have not coined in over 7 months. I decided not to coin again until changes were made by Evony to their servers to allow them to run better and until Evony takes control of the out-of-control situation of players having 200+ alts. So while you all are saying no one will be left to coin and make Evony money, well you are wrong. I am one of the long time players that will start coining again once its under control. And there are many many many like me.

    Before you all start saying I am on Evony's side, or I am sucking up, blah blah, etc etc, let me just say thats not the case. I have a ton of issues with Evony, how they have allowed things to be, the crappy performance of their servers, the seemingly unfair things they allow to happen to one player and not 10 others doing the same thing. So trust me...I know the frustration. But I do see this as a step in a good direction for Evony. And a lot of veteran players like me agree. We are tired of the alt game, of having to change, adjust and re-adjust goals for alt bots to even try to keep up with the people who are running 200+ alts on a server. What we want is to battle. And have a real person defend. And have the kind of fun that Evony is supposed to be. So while I dont agree with a lot of things Evony does, I do like this change. If it goes game wide and Evony keeps up with changes and targets the people trying to run proxies and such to get around the TOS, it will be the best thing in the long run.

    And those of you harassing and "yelling" at Dawnseeker...you are lucky he is the rep that is responding to this thread. He is always nice, fair and gives accurate info (even if its not the info you want to hear). It could be Dave Mata who belittles you and gives you no helpful information at all. Yay for Dawnseeker!

    Vestas do help yeah, But unless your spending 30$ per day, You arnt going to run vestas 24/7. Holiday is a better option.

    Now for my thoughts. (Not as a mod, simply as the player of ss38, 175 and 180, And many more before them)

    In all honesty i can see this change killing a lot of super servers. there is no way they will reduce there burn, They only built so large in the first place to make them feel safe at night. No one builds a monster account to attack with, You can do the same damage with a 500m burn that you can with an 8 bill burn. (you can olny send 10 waves per city) The monster accounts were built PURELY for defense. some built monster accs to counter these monster defense accs but at the end of the day, They dont drop down to normal sizes cause they enjoy the comfort of knowing its going to take someone hours and hours of scoutboming to pull down 10 mill mechs.

    No one likes waking up in time to see the last of there war city get wiped (i should know, many times ive logged in just in time to see the last of my listas s/bombed away), That is where info sharing and Botting stemmed from. to give people peace of mind on the hours they cant be there.

    OF course there are some people who took botting and multi accs to extremes, (the 20+ mile hub of noob accs for instance) and the people building 10 mill each mech and 300mill archers to hide behind. IM not defending these people or agreeing what they do is right, I hate 20 mile hubs, The mech times are boooorrrrriiiinnnngggggggggggg but i understand why they do it.

    i watched server 6 Get massacred at the dawn of ss38 to the more bot savy servers 4 and 5, and it took us nearly 2 years to work out how to fight back effectively against accs 2-3x the size of our biggest guys. I used to harass res dumps of the biggest players on the server, cause it was all i could do to hurt them, I learnt the game, I grew bigger with my finds, and ive sustained that size with holiday.


    I know my server. We have fought over every single inch of it, and farming has been beyond terrible for years, But you come to love the server for all she is, and what she was, love her for the sheer determination showed by the Dacians as they fought the entire server for nearly 2 years, The Brutal efficiency and massive size of The_Just, The teamwork Of the Entropy crew, who would be on me like white on rice whenever i harassed any of there players, The Hard headed and harder war citys of Crucifix, the Loveable farmers of rohan, The Mini guys Of Pax and Asgard and such smaller alliances, The week long rants of Kozee and his never ending speaker supplys, CharlEmile and his glorious conquest of the server, MRchau and his colourful language, Mentat and his drunken WC rants. Thats why ive hung onto ss38, Dispite offers to start fresh on new servers, and some servers id like to put more effort into, but wont cause i still like ss38.

    This change will kill ss38. I can tell you now, The server will die with this change. The day i quit ss38 is the day i leave evony for good. Im not looking forward to that day, Hope its not soon.

    In reply to this I don't really care about bots or no bots...it's more the draconian way that evony does things....There is still heaps of lag on server even though restrictions are in place, I don't have a huge army and made complaints about it affecting full families and was basically told everyone knows full families that play. This ban isn't affecting me as such but others, currently evony telling us that server activity has not decreased well having worked for a major corporation in networking and IT the server has definitely decreased and am sure from someone who spends at least $600 per month on here...well I will be spending it elsewhere and will just watch the server demise. As for your dawnseeker comment.....I have PM with davemata and to be honest from his reply to me and others is much better than dawnseekers draconian reply...There is a saying 'don't bite the hand that feeds you' take from that what you will
