Thread: Purpose of Evony?

  1. #1

    Default Purpose of Evony?

    When I first joined evony during AP testing, when I didn't want to study so just pretended by playing Civony and following the little quest, I was floored. It was a pretty simple game, free, and it blew through my time pretty effectively. But now, the more I play, the more I realize that a lot of people on the site are beyond powerhungry-- they are words that would only be censored.

    I understand attacking people, we've all done it, it's the purpose of the game. I get wars, I get the huge sweeps of attacks, I get wanting to steal cities, to aquire resources, to get medals... What I don't understand is continuously attacking an active members single city just for spite. I don't understand the logic and I'm stunned by people's incompetence when it comes to diplomacy.

    So a single city keeps getting attacked. Loyalty sinks, public grievance climbs, population drops, riots occur, heros bail, etc. But the person doing the attacking is getting few resources, no medals, little prestige and honor...so what's the point? Why attack a city you can't take?

    Is it to be irritating? Is it to make some sort of statement? Is it an attempt to get people to quit the game?

    For people who do not buy the cents to get teleports and truce agreements, these hostile neighbors ruin the game and it's a shame. The purpose of the game is to advance your own rank, not to robotically attack cities with no resources, no loyalty and that cannot be taken.

    Maybe I'm just ranting, but I think attacking someone just to be irritating or whatever the purpose is (as in, they aren't attacking for resources, prestige, honor, etc), is a form of harassment and I'm sick of seeing the chill people on the site quit because there are people who get powertrips out of this kind of play.

    Griefers do this for the sheer joy of the pain they know they are causing you.

    and its not a form of harrasment... its a PvP game, you need to expect to be attacked. The means to get away from him are offered to you in the game (for free i might add)

    Teleport away, use a truce item, Join his alliance, or ally with his alliance.

    all are options to stop getting attacked.

    Well that's very heartening. It's nice to know people still have souls.

    i think perhaps its time to "unplug" and take a break from gaming for you.

    heh, comparing how people are in RL with how they act in a game really doesnt make much sense.

    The most cruel, vicious, evil, Griefer that repeatedly attacks you 20 times a day; could very possibly also be the nicest person you would ever meet in the world.

    remember... its just a game.

    I don't understand what you are upset about. It's a part of the game. I have been attacked so badly that I currently have absolutely no army. I have an alliance with 4,000,000 prestige hammering me. I have been struggling just to exist for well over a week.

    If anyone would have something to complain about it's me. These people attacked me for no other reason than I asked them to stop scouting my cities. Once they attacked once, they've attacked incessantly and haven't stopped.

    I'm annoyed, yeah -- as far as wanting to build my cities up, but I also understand that it's just the game. I understand that people attack me just because they can. I understand that they attack me just because they're 1000 times stronger. But in my own mind, I realise that I am fighting almost impossible odds, and I take that into account when deciding whether the game is fun for me or not.

    Ok, so I'm not the most powerful person on my server. I am not even close, because I have suffered HUGE setbacks. During the last week (as I said), I've been struggling to merely exist. So, while I've been battling my problems there's hundreds of other players that have doubled in cities and population. I know I am getting weaker and weaker as far as comparison with everyone else goes. But all I can do is the best I can do and if I lose - so be it.

    I have learned lot. So if I go onto a new server (because this server was my first attempt at playing), I will very likely be one of the fastest growing players on that new server, and I wouldn't make half the mistakes I've made on this server.

    All in all, I am not angry or upset or disgruntled with the people attacking me. I send them taunts, but it's all a part of having fun for me. I just do it to spite them - in a friendly way. I really don't think any of your complaints are valid. You just need to learn to do the best you can, and judge your efforts by what you were able to accomplish with what you had.

    It's all about having fun. To me, I enjoy playing the game whether I have a giant standing over me, with a sword to my throat, while I am on the ground with not even a stick in my hand. I'll bite his leg! It'll do something - and I'll keep fighting until I am utterly gone! Of course it would be cool to be #1 on the server, but that's just not the way things went for me (or for you either).

    So put your chin up, and just play the game. Do the best you can do. If the people attack you just for the sake of it, send them a message saying: "You're the WORST player I have EVER seen in my life! Is that all you've got? Buahahahaha!!! Come on, go and get some tips from granny". That's what I do
