    Some prestige has been restored to me. 450k out of the 665k I had.
    Where is the rest?
    Where is my apology for being labeled a cheater/exploiter/CRIMINAL?!?

    To those who supported me TYVM!
    To those who judge without evidence...no comment.

    The answer is clear. The deeds done.
    Time to close this one out.
    (There are going to be ten threads made everyday about this topic anyway.)

    Today we finished reviewing all of the appeals to the Prestige losses and performed 1 of 4 actions, based on all available data and the appeals:

    • Full Restore. This was done for players we believe had been wrongly reset and had not been using the exploit to gain Prestige.
    • Restoration to a point prior to the Prestige spike.
    • Restoration to a point prior to the Prestige spike, minus 20%.
    • Complete reset.

    The choice was based on the severity and the extent to which the player abused the bug. Note that for players we weren't sure if they were exploiting intentionally, we just removed the massive Prestige gain shortly before the fix. We don't think these players were intentionally exploiting but it would still not be fair to let them keep all the excess.

    Thanks for your patience while we worked on this. I know not everyone will be happy with the result, but our goal is still to discourage exploits and make Evony as fair as possible.

    Dawn/Nathan,

    thank you for the time and energy which must have gone into this process. As one of the affected players, I appreciate the attention that was paid to this matter.

    I suspect that yo are right, some folks will still be unhappy with the outcome, but I suspect, given the obvious attention paid by the staff of Evony to the issue, all will at this point be willing to let the matter drop.

    However, for most of us who were affected, the bigger issue was not the loss of prestige, but rather the malignment of being called "cheaters" who engaged in "crimes." Those remarks stung.

    I believe that your statement above implies that you and the Evony team no longer feel that this is the case. It would be nice if you'd say that, if only to mend fences.


    More importantly though, going forward, what is the policy on "exploiting loopholes" or perhaps more fairly "taking advantage of beneficial strategies?"

    How shall we know if a technique is an exploit or simply a good strategy? What shall we expect in the way of "corrections," when a technique is retroactively determined to be unfair?

    Again, thanks for opening up the dialog, for listening to your audience, for taking immediate action when you felt it necessary, and for later refining that action after havin the opportunity for reflection.

Does it really matter? Who cares.

    Btw...Jesus ****ing christ. Some of you people make me sooo ****ing sick. Whether its possible to gain 100k prestige in a day or not, who gives a ****. What do you care if someone is killing off their army to gain meaningless prestige? Does it make you feel better about yourself to get on a GAME forum and label people cheaters or call them names, I hope at least it makes you feel better about yourself, obviously it appears you were mistreated in REAL life and feel like you have to bring your big bad internet tuff guy persona here and put down others for meaningless **** caused by faulty game mechanics. Seriously....God damn. What a joke this has turned out to be. If you don't like it go cry to a mod or keep it to yourself.
    Out of all the people who have posted in this forum I laughed at this dribbling retard the most. Thank you so much Tbag I was in stitches! From start to finish the 50 or so posts from you made it all worth while.
