    Default Alliance name change

    This thread is pure speculation, but if we at least get to talking about it now, then if it does become true, it might keep some people from becoming as inflamed.


    Now, I don't have facts to back all this up, but I'm fairly certain this is the case, and I want to prepare you all for what we all will see on the Evony forums here soon.

    Now, if you aren't aware, Evony has made it where host and vice-host of an alliance cannot change the alliance name at the moment. Evony has yet to comment about this little detail, but I've noticed that they are trying to keep it quiet. They tend to do this when there are certain things they are worried about when they really shouldn't be. What I think they are worried about is how the community will react to an item that allows for alliance name changing. Overall though, I think it should get out in the open if they are planning such a thing. It will keep people from getting as inflamed if it truely is the case.

    Overall, not a horrible idea, but there are problems with such a change. First, it might cut down on the alliance spam of names like Nazi and such and it will keep alliances from changing their name daily trying to hide or something, but yet I think it will cause more problems then it will fix. Overall, the community will pick up on this change immediately, and there will be many complaint threads made on the Evony forums when this occurs. There is no telling how the forum staff will handle such an event, yet again it will come up about how bad Evony is about communicating to their players, and many on the forums will start (complaining) once again.

    Again, I have no solid proof of this, but I just want you all to be prepared for it so that when/if it occurs, you aren't put in such a bad mood.

    Well, I'm tired of these forums. Very little humor in them anymore. Adios all.

    If they implement it in such a way as the Ritual of Pact then I believe it may be a good idea, plenty of opportunities to change the name via various members but not be able to constantly spam the alliance chat by one man alliances since they would most likely not have enough of these items.

    I never even noticed this...thanks for bringing it up. I just have a question. How would it stop names like Nazi?

    well, it depends on how exactly the item would work. And well, it prob wouldn't stop that to be honest (unless 1 of these items are need to create an alliance) but I was just trying to be positive about it.

    And no one else has an opinion about this? Just curious. Oh well lol.

    ok so let us change the name until the implement this stuff

    how are we supposed to partner up if we're not allowed to change alliance names?

    this needs to be solved quickly... in the words of Niel Young, Why do they keep phuckin up?

    It's not going to stop those one man alliances with stupid names, that is caused by people creating alliances, declaring war, then disbanding, creating them again, etc, which as far as I know clears the 24-hour diplomatic timer. All it will do is make it that much more of a pain in the ass to change your alliance name, rather than buying some item, people would probably just disband, create another one, and reinvite all the members.

    Edit - they could probably cut down on that by making it so there is a long timer on creating an alliance, like some days out of creation, and that timer is reset every time you make one, so one player could only do it once every few days, and multiple / new accounts would have to wait some days as well.
