Thread: Thanks but no thanks

  1. #1

    Default Nevermind - mods please delete?

    Edit: Embarrassing as it is, I've changed my mind for now. The kindness of my alliance member in trying to help me build defenses against getting plundered has made me reconsider. For now.

    I would always regret not returning the resources he sent me and it seems its impossible for me to do that if I just quit now.

    Hopefully my post can be deleted and forgotten, but in the spirit of honesty I'll leave my OP below for the record.



    Well, Evony looked nice but I'm afraid its not for me.

    Apparently I couldn't get enough online time during my 7 days newbie protection to build up an significant defenses and now thats expired I find every time I can log in my town has been repeatedly plundered into poverty so I still can't build up defenses.

    I joined an alliance, who were kind enough to send me a few resources. I turned those into defenses and put everything I could scrape together on my own into more defenses but I still get wiped out and plundered.

    I couldn't find any information on how alliances work on the wiki or the FAQs, other than basic how to join & what are alliances stuff. My post on the forum seems to have vanished into the back pages too fast to be responded to so no help their.

    I realize my starting point appears entirely random, so I can't begin again with a friend and choose close territories so we can work together.

    I can't even pan back on the world map to see where my alliance mates are in relation to myself.

    I can't even use the "restart" option off my portrait because that is "disabled".

    No I don't expect sympathy. I'm just saying thanks but no thanks, listing a few of my reasons so maybe, just maybe, it'll add another drop or two to the bucket of customer opinions the developers hopefully listen to and take into account when they try to figure out why some people stay and others leave.

    Kudos to those players lucky enough to have the time and good fortune to avoid the pitfalls that have put me off.

    Fare thee well all.

    Your own fault, I didn't even care 'bout defenses. Build up your resources, I'm gettin near 35 000 of each resource an hour and I'm bout 2 weeks into the game. Rank 63. 80 000 prestige. I can make Ballistae. It's not THAT hard...

    Lucky you. I got to day 9 or 10 then found that every time I was able to log in my resources had been wiped out because I'd been plundered.

    Apparently I now can't gain resources fast enough to build up sufficient anything to stop the plundering or develop my town.

    If you're having better luck I'm happy for you. I hope your luck holds out.

    I could've sworn you get a free teleporter or two at the start? Oh, for best use, wait until just before somebody's army hits you so they end up attacking a flat instead of getting your stuff.

    What server/world are you on? A major reason of my high prestige/resources is the fact that I started on a new world. It had been out for a few hours at tops, so MOST people were getting out of beginner's protection at the same time.

    then you shouldn't be putting Terse down when you started a new server. On s1-4 you will quit soon as your out of your protection.

    That depends on your neighbors. Saxony is still relatively nice on s1...as long as you leave our valleys alone!

    you can't build a huge enough army to take out 89k archers so there would be no point. close gate for like 2 wks. plus resources get robbed everyday. sometimes 10x a day.
