    Default Prelude to Age 2?

    With all the people out there complaining about the server mergers, I am wondering if this is a build-up to Evony Age 2. From what I have read, Age 2 will really be the upgrade of Evony, adding more complexity to the combat systems in the game, as well as other major improvements.

    Now, it was said that there would be an event during Age 1 that would have to be completed prior to Age 2 going live. So, we have the current mergers(W1-W5 into WN1, and W6-W10 into WN2). These sort of things will probably continue, basically stirring things up across ALL of the servers, and leading up to that event.

    I do NOT think that Call of the Warlord is the event that will spark Age 2, but it may be setting the stage for that event. It DOES force the top alliances from each server to deal with suddenly dealing with other powerhouse alliances.

    Of course, you could take a negative view of the mergers(due to lost accounts and overcrowding), but there MAY be a bright side to all of this.

    So you think the mergers are a prelude to the prelude of Age II?

    Makes sense from what you said...I think...

    S'an interestin' thought, though. What makes you think that the server mergers aren't the prelude themselves? It would make sense that a larger, tighter, more complicated version of the game would be shortly preceded by a crucible of all the current players, lands and alliances, jus' to get everyone stirred up and excited shortly before the big entrance.

    Because there has been no other hints or suggestions, and because it would have to apply to all the servers for this to be the big event. Maybe once all the servers go through their mergers and have a WN phase they will release Age 2, or it will be something else.

    The merged servers MAY have extra code for the big event, but at this stage, it just seems like the mergers are there just because the explosive growth from the advertising campaign has ended, and the number of people actively playing has been going down.

    They are merging as they have always planned to deal with the MMMAASSS NPC's this is their way of doing it.

    I would imagine as soon as the servers are done they will look to merge WN1 and WN2 into a super map, more than likely.

    And then go on to the others, keep adding more and more players.

    I think the mergers are just correcting a mistake they did during a period when they started new servers before filling the last started server, this has led to that when the inactives were removed there were only 6-8k players/server left instead of the 18-20k you will see on newer severs now. Ofcourse that wouldn't explain why they merge the world servers into 45-50k players, since it is just too much.

    I really do not think there is an ageII, if there was they would not be merging worlds because there would be a mass exodus of players that would not come back, hence loss of possible profits. I am part of that merge in wn1 and have seen many people quitting. The logical process of this would have been to release it before the merges. Just my thought about it.

    Releasin' it then mergin' everythin' would cause chaos. Doin' this first gets all the hassle and trouble of the mergers out the way before they start to go around makin' changes. And then everyone who's quit becasue of the mergers would have quit anyways...it makes perfect sense to let the people who're gunna throw tantrums over this to quit before implementin' the larger changes.

    There is an Age II; they're jus' decidin' to keep it cloaked w/o any spills for some reason. They've hired people to do proof-readin' (and I say hired; they won't pay people to pretend to proof-read for a version that doesn't exist) and preparin' and I think there was some kind of closed beta-test a while back?
