    This is ridiculous. Drive you game into the ground like this and you'll be forgotten idea down the road.
    Didn`t you hear?
    The reason people are leaving Evony isnt because of the server mergers,slow to non existent customer service, lack of in game mods, etc etc, it`s because some unknown blogger wrote a bad review about Evony so they are suing him, that should bring the players running back to the game and the merged servers, slow customer support response time, etc etc.

    Oh my, this is almost as funny as when Thalin said it.. HAHAHAH. You want me to fill you in on what REALLY happens when they merge servers? You are going to spend the first week taking and retaking the same lvl 1 and 2 lakes and swamps to try and set some sort of food production up. What happened to lvl 3 through 10 you ask? IF you are not a top 25 player then forget about it. You will 'try' and take them, but the moment you go to sleep they take them back. Then if you persist, their alliance declares war on your alliance so that they remember who to pummel first.

    Secondly, for those stupid enough to come out protect early, you will be greeted by some groups of 1million + players that will now make your cities into farms at best, or they will npc you just to create space around them. Currently I see between 20 to 25 town loss announcements a day on wn2 for those that came out of protection for whatever reason. You say, I have gold, I can 'buy' food.. good luck there. Food prices are about 7 a piece currently.. how much money you have again?

    Counting on your alliance to help you after protection period? too bad, you carry too much faith in others.. We and most other alliances saw less than a 50% return rate of people, and that was from known active players.

    Your castles are all going to be spread around the map, so buy food BEFORE YOU JUMP to the new server. Your troops cannot move to take valleys for 24 hours after you use an adv. teleporter.

    I work in IT, I know what a high availability server is. Sorry folks, the servers are NOT high usage boxes. I have a feeling they are the same machines as they were before, but only using one of them instead of 6. LAG is terrible. to get an updated view of actual resource production after moving things around close your browser and log back in. it takes up to 45 minutes for your towns to show real production numbers if you wait on it.

    be prepared every morning to see plunder reports. sorry it is the way of the fight for lakes and such.

    The top teir players, those in the top 20 do not care about you or your money you have spent getting you castle built, nor do they care you took 3 months to build it. They are going to hit you and hit you over and over until you move, or until you are zero population. "I'll just move again'.. good luck. the high prestige players are all playing that way, so sorry, you are screwed.

    "I am a 600K (or 550K , 700K, etc) player, I will have no problems..." Currently, there are 7 pages of players well over a million prestige on wn2, welcome to Noobsville..population YOU.

    Basically folks, if your name is not on the first two pages of the prestige list, you are screwed. My suggestion is to go to another game and actually have a fun experience. a week of getting bashed and having your castles turned to npc's will not be fun.

    My Alliance was top 10 on W7, we are not ranking in the top 50 now.. 10 to 18 million prestige will get you middle of the road at 50ish level.

    Ok, so You are foolishly going forward and happily awaiting the merge. BUY FOOD NOW. buy as much as you can. You should go over with atleast 200 million excess per city.
    get your castles defenses built NOW as well. don't mess with building huge amounts of armies and such now or the first week. You will not be able to defeat the high level attackers anyways. They build more troops in a day than you have total.
    I keep my gates closed. That way when I am online I can pick my battles He sends in a huge wave to take out defenses then sends in a few thousand warriors and transports. Now open your gates and kill them. Typical scouting missions are looking at 40 to 80 thousand scouts to look in on you. so be prepared to have your levels as public knowledge.

    The guys on wn2 use the 100 scout attack against you to soften you up. This is to kill archers only. if 100 scouts are coming at you in 10 or 20 waves, leave your gates closed and let them hit your defenses, and they will! You will need those archers later when the 10 waves of 85K archers w/rainbow comes at you. 25K cav will kill 100K archers and cost less to build. rainbow your defense.

    Good luck, you are going to need it. And if you are lucky enough to survive then good for you, maybe you'll be around in 6 months when they merge wn1,2,3 together because they ran off all their customers.

    Ok...I play on server 2 and i created a quick account on wn2 to see what it was like..

    With spacing etc..it is very similar to my server,just a few less npcs.. But obviously when i started it was not like that...

    I cant imagine starting a new map over again, on server 2 most npcs and player cities have settled down, and valley taking is moderate as alliances claim states etc. But resetting everything players and alliances have worked towards is in my opinion, wrong!

    Wow, thanks for sharing... Same experience here in WN1; but, with only 1 city I'm not an attractive target as those with several cities. Half of the players haven't joined an alliance yet, I myself decided not to join an alliance. I only check my account there once in awhile. The first week after the merger I was surrounded by cities, and now they are becoming NPCs right before my eyes (good job Evony).

    WN3 will be my second merger; with 10 cities we'll see how things go for me this time around. I had it with Evony, so this is the last time I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt, after that I am done, I'll start my own blog.

    Good point and one reason why I haven't been putting in any more time in mapping or other ehvony/alliance work. I wish you all well. I'm only on one server and that's all I'm willing to risk atm.

    I've been around a long time, this may be what finally ends my time here. I'm willing to give it a shot but I've been looking for an excuse to quit anyway.

    Default Not sure I should playing on the new server yet??

    Not sure if this is the correct post to put this in but I registered as requested re: merging servers 12-17(?) into WN3.....when I logged in I had started again from scratch....new city, etc...? I've been playing and advancing this city as I'm a little unsure whether my old cities will be merged across to this new one?? Anyone out there had the same or been through one of these merges before? I'd just like to know what I can expect when I guess.... cheers!

    There was no need for you to reregister. If you just log in via wxx.evony.com (xx is the number of the world), you should have gone to your old city.

    Still works for me.
