    You have little else to say other than complaints around here. Maybe you wanna read over your own posts and see what we mean.

    And I think ucsmb (and myself) also covered what you did say: the game is not currently in Beta.

    Spa, now conclude your accessorization by getting your face pierced. Angst becomes you... and so many others.

    Check the suggestion box as I think I may have hit the mark.

    They are not still in beta, if the game was still in beta they would not be able to accept money for anything in the game. The game officially came out of beta with the name Evony. Civony was the beta. Age 2 will be an upgrade to the game and is not a continuation of beta.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

    Back on topic.

    Most games see changes within 5-6 months. You may say this isnt like most games because they dont charge a monthly fee. Well this game isnt worth a monthly fee.

    But take for example a game my wife plays on facebook called Farmville. The game is a lot like evony in that the developers only make money when players optionally spend RL money to buy ingame "cash". But its completely optional and my wife has never needed to spend money to buy ingame cash so she can get a black barn instead of a white one, anything players spend money on in farmville are cosmetic differences.

    The game farmville has seen more updates, reduction in lag, game improvements in the last 2 weeks than evony has in 6 months. And they are bringing in much less revenue than evony.

    Key difference between evony and other games with this kind of revenue scheme (compare to Mafia Wars or Farmville). Those games dont make changes and tweaks for the sole purpose of making it more appealing to players who spend money.

    Ever since I started playing evony the only changes that are made are those that make spending money appealing, rather than improve the game.

    So how about instead of changing the medal requirements of the top rank to make it so hard that people just give up and spend the money to buy medal boxes that you add a honor requirement to the ranks. This way everyone can rank up based on their know how, pvp ability, cooperation, coordination and skill, instead of farming/buying medals.

    How about instead of having to buy a city teliport to get into the combat zone you put some items on sale for gold. Ill pay 50,000,000 gold for a teliport.

    How about some new attack units? Some new buildings? An ingame map? A better alliance management tool? A item buying system based on ingame gold? More research trees?

    Just show me you are willing to make changes to this game that are NOT centered around ways to make you money, are NOT centered around making buying cents more appealing. Make some changes that are just good for every player.

    The game you are talking about runs off of FaceBook, where as Evony has to pay for their game servers. In the past 5 months of them not being in beta, Evony has made quite a few updates and changes. Again, with Age 2 coming there will be almost a whole new game.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

    I think they really oughta focus on balancin' out the current units and buildin's before addin' more in. Thas one crucial mistake a lot of games make; to pile of new stuff before the current stuff is balanced and shiftin' the unbalance even further.

    It usually is the smaller games that have the workin' harder to be better, while larger companies work harder to make more money. That's jus' the way it is w/ eveyrthin'.

    Go to a city and look for a privately owned book store and see everyone in there barely make money, but love the job and try to make people happy. Then look across the street to the multi-national corporate book industry and you'll find an army of drones who don't give a damn and a CEO who jus' wants your money.

    Not sayin' it's a good thing, jus' sayin' I don't expect it to change anytime soon.

    Can you link me to threads by developers which go into any kind of real detail on features, contents, pay scheme, graphics, screenshots, release date on Age 2?

    Jus' because they wilnae release it doesnae mean it's not there.

    And there is info hidin' around about it when they went through some kind of testin' phase.

    It's not in their best interests to hype up a new version so heavily if it's gunna be a flop; that jus' ****es people off and encourages one almight exodus.
