Thanks for the update Sekai.
If what you are saying is true, and the clock doesnt start ticking for (at the soonest with zero loyalty) 3 days AFTER BP ends, that means people who logged in for 15 seconds before they realized this wasnt SIMCITY with boobs will stick around 10 days at the minimum.
That is completely ridiculous, when coupled with the inactivity rate. IT would be totally different if 90% of the towns on W23 werent inactives, but they are.
On new servers the winners and losers are decided in about a month, after the second generation alliance form up with the good players. 30 days into it the level 10 NPC farming is slowing down, people are getting bored. That means 1/3 of the games time span and 90% of its real estate is taken up with people who logged in for less than a minute.
Evony developers track the stats. They know these zero pretige people will NOT be coming back after a day, there is no reason for them to keep them for 9 more days except to inflate player numbers. Their few real players are suffering for it.
Aye, lookin' at it honestly, if you plan on playin' the game ever you'll manage to easily get 500+ prestige on your first sittin'. If you create an account and it still has 0 prestige by the end of the day, they ain't comin' back.
And if they, by some misfortune, crashed computer, had to run out the house or internet died right as they logged in...who cares if their town gets deleted and needs to be remade anyways? What did they lose out on really? Half a constructed farm?
Yeah... easier to restart under BP

I agree with both of you. No reason to keep these guys around, taking up space we need a week into the server lifespan, except to inflate player base numbers (bragging rights, advertisement deals, etc.)
Shady business practices at the expense of your customers is not the way to build a business. With the lack of end-game content, the barrage of ways they get the "buy coins" msg to you so fast, and the advertisment nuking of the internet that Evony is doing, I wonder if this game is meant to be anything but a quick buck. Maybe they dont care about long term numbers or player loyalty and retention.
Seems like alot of trouble to go through for a couple months of having a hot game, but ask the makers of Anarchy Online and a few other 'hot games' last decade how they fared when they chose to ignore customer complaints.
Again, thats jus' an issue that all online games have. They always feel like they're givin' the players enough/too much and the players feel like they should be gettin' more.
The payin' players should defintely be able to get that right to think they're bein' stinged in certain aspects, but it winds my nut up when players who never pay ***** about their rights as a customer; at the end of the day they're gettin' somethin' they want, like and enjoy for absolutely free; not much in life comes like that. And to be fair, Evony has a failry good system for keepin' the game cents not-neccesary. Hell, they even give you free amulets. Some games you simply cannot play w/o buyin' their currency.../sad
I think their more interesting in age 2 than this one anymore
Day 9, 2nd server maintenance has come and gone, and not a single, empty, never-built-anything town has disappeared. The state my alliance chose is 95% full of <100 prestige players, with the vast majority being zero prestige. It is crippling us not being able to find flats nearby.
The above poster is right, Evony clearly isnt interested in our play experience in Age 1 anymore.
