Server 189 flat npc clear mess up

[macquari]

Evony did a way overdue NPC clear 5 days ago on Server 189. Yay! It resolved issues.

Today the did another flat clear, but each and every NPC from 0,0 to 799,60 was removed!

Evony had literally taken a 60 mile wide grader and moved it horizontally across the map. Imagine each and every NPC in the red block on this image of the Evony world gone:



I'd like to ask Evony how this is fair or otherwise ties in with Evony's stated policies (apart from trying to distance themselves from their own mistakes)?

Consider Alliances tend to be state bound. Any alliance in the four top states has been severely disadvantaged.
Atm some players are considering abandoning this server.
Others are debating charge backs since they recently coined to clear out junk npcs to build the perfect 10 field and are now surrounded by level 1 flats.
Some players have all their cities with no npc field, no way to feed their army.They would have to move all their cities to survive (or coin on the Free Forever game)

One heck of a way of killing a server, not keeping it alive, Evony.

I would suggest Evony look at what went wrong, roll back and fix it. I'm sure this was a glitch. Surely nobody can be as dumb as to think this would work?

SS78 had this issue also happen after Maint,Same 4 States were effected, it may well be server wide....

happened on many servers, i suggest everyone just submit a ticket in game and then enjoy the sounds of crickets while you wait for a response!

190 had this same exact sweep today

[Phidaux]

has anyone from any server recieved a response yet from CS on a ticket about this yet?


nevermind i just realized what i typed there!

I put in a ticket and sent a PM to DaveMata per his request. So far have received the standard cut-and-paste statement from Customer Unsupport, and not a peep from DaveMata.

Swept them again on SS60 last night. Built a level 8 for hero training yesterday and it's gone today.

Same thing happened on s176.... straight line from xxx,000 to xxx,057 cleared of almost every NPC. Luckily, I didn't have any cities in that area but I know a lot of people who did and had to move out.

Be nice if Evony could tell us whether this was intentional or accidental, but based on history, I don't expect much.
