Thread: Zero Prestige not gone?

  1. #1

    Default Zero Prestige not gone?

    It is one thing to ad bomb the internet for your browser game, filling it up crazy people who dont know or care about your free game, it is another to leave their cities around forever.

    Im on W23, in Saxony, and I have 8 or 10 guys within 5 miles of me that have ZERO prestige, and are out of BP (been there over a week. Server just came back up after the first maintenance at the end of day 7, and they are still here.

    What gives? Is Evony trying to artificially inflate their player retention numbers at our expense? Im in a difficult spot, I l cannot build a city very far away due to having major enemies closeby. If these flats dont open up soon, I will be forced to randomly teleport away, or most likely just quit.

    Please up the rate that you get rid of these guys. I have seen THOUSANDS of these towns on 2 servers, and NONE of these people ever come back. I understand not wanting to get rid of people with prestige over 1k, but c'mon, there are way too many zero prestige towns sitting around that are out of BP, clogging up the world for players who want to play this game.

    Help the players that ARE playing, not the ones that played for 2 minutes and quit. This is shoddy customer service, and reflecting poorly on your gaming company.

    Quoted for truth.

    As a consolation prize, you get a city w/ no defences that has been sittin' there slowly buildin' up resources over the past week or two; some free stuff at the expense of a few minutes march...
    oh wait...
    while we're plunderin'...
    why don't we jus' conquer the city that no one is defendin' w/ no army?
    Then we get the city in place of the flat anywyas?

    Hows that for consolation prizes, eh?

    Darkbrady...you understand that someone with 0 prestige couldn't possibly build a second city and you cannot capture a person's only city right?


    Speak softly and carry a big stick.

    Not a gold mine, but after a few days it'll build up to a few k.
    Send all of ten warriors and he'll happily take the entire city and walk away w/ a few thousand free resources.

    As for the capturin', totally forgot about that; my bad.

    W23 is a new server. I think inactivity rules as well as flat level up rules don't go into play for about a week on new servers, either that or inactivity rules don't apply during beginner's protection. Other than that, any person under 1k prestige gets wiped after 5 days of not logging in, or 3 days if their loyalty is 0 (attacking them makes them dissappear a couple days earlier). When I started on server 32, it was overrun with noob huts. When BP ran out, I attacked a few. They dissappeared 3-4 days later, leaving behind precious, precious flats, which I promptly took and sold to Texaco for oil drilling rights. 2 days after that, most of the rest of them disappeared as well. So just wait a few days and most of them will be gone.

    A new day, and they are still there. 8 days now, and not a single town has disappeared.

    I remeber seeing a timeline EVONY gave about how long your account would be inactive before removing your cities, and about how people who bought items would never disappear, etc. This endless zero prestige community violates that promise.

    Oh well, I will probably be better of quitting now anyway. W23 has about 500 active players on it, mostly refugees from old servers that are bored with the game after getting 10 level 10 cities in a month, and beating the competition into leaving. They keep making more and more new servers, not realizing they are ghost towns with few new players and mostly bored multi-account holders.

    The game has little end-game content to keep players interested, and the front-end content is getting worse and worse due to artificial crowding. Seems like writing on the wall to me. Pity really, they got some things so right about this game, in its short window of keeping player interest the game has suprising depth.
