    i have two lvl 9 rally spots and am attacking lvl 1-4 npc's and valleys all over .
    it takes me 2 min 40 secs to hit a lvl 3 valley with archers right next to my city. thats a 5 min 20 sec round trip times 9. doing this several hours is just ridicolous. for last 7-8 days i have been doing this to all valleys and npcz in my area and i still have not got one medal drop. now i am not gonna spend the next 12 months trying to get medals for this ridicolous game in this style. admins need to up the rate drop or alot of people are going to quit. i need 5 honour 3 rose and 4 lion to get to baron and in the past week or more i have not got one, how long will it take me to get all of them?

    people want a game where they can advance through and build mroe cities because it is more fun, not slave away hours on end attacking valleys for medals when they arent dropping because that isnt any FUN at all. no wonder you guys have 80 servers and are merging them together because when people get no further they quit and leave, people join from your stupid boob ads and then fill up the servers and u wipe them all a week later. u say 8 million players playing this game or whatever and yet there is like 26000 left in my server and its like two week old. and there are like at least 5k inactive or dead. times that by your 80 servers and its like 1mill and i bet all the old servers dont have as many players either. up the drop rate guys or more people are gonna leave, these guys with the money may pay u but once they got noone to beat up on anymore then they will leave aswell. and whats with this autocents where you can spend 3000$ on ROFL lmao guys who would spend that much on this game when u guys have so much trouble keep ing the servers up at all and filter chats working?
    They decreased medal drop rates because they want ppl to progress slowly.
    And for ppl like you to spend $5 here and there.
    If ppl progress to fast, they will conquer and leave.
    That is a problem for Evony, keeping it's players active.
    Without that, the game will drop drastically.
    That is my theory anyway.

    To me it seems likely the honor medals are the choke point--Ive been sitting around laid off for the last 4 weeks playing this game all day and lets just say I have 4 teams hitting NPC's when Im conscious. That being said, after a month I became a baron.

    If that's the actual problem, then why not have a reasonable medal drop rate but increase the number of medals needed for promotion.

    For example, instead of 5 lion and 10 rose medals for Baronet, make it 50 and 100.

    This is freshman psychology sort of stuff. People need some feedback to continue an activity or the activity will be extinguished.

    Three weeks of nearly constant farming for my rose medals, and two weeks for the honor medals. By that point, thanks to NPCs, I had the rest of my medals to jump 2-3 titles at a time.
    I understand that the purpose is to get people to spend money.

    I think medals are the wrong place to try to get money. If anything, they should be the one thing you can't get from cents or the wheel.

    As for making money, occurs to me that Evony could make more money if they'd think "outside the box."

    First find out what is annoying people on other servers. I can state a few and I'm sure there are more.

    * Come back from vacation and everything (but one city) is gone. Does Evony actually think that player is likely to continue to play?

    If someone is going on vacation, suggests they have money (or at least Mom and Dad have money). These aren't the people Evony wants to have quit. These are potential customers!

    How about a feature to put a player's city into a "time bubble" while on vacation. Perhaps charge $1/day. A city in a "time bubble" won't produce any resources but also can't be attacked.

    * Come home from work and ...

    First, it's not really a fair fight to attack a city when the owner is at work.

    I could offer several solutions to this, all of which could bring in revenue for Evony.

    --

    I can think of more problems and more solutions but I don't see the point right now.

    Generally a key component to successful business is solving the consumers' problems in exchange for reasonable amounts of money.

    Day 4, server 86. Marquis Count ( obvious paying players) 4.

    So, this is fair and balanced how? Note my Signature.

    I've gotten to the point where as soon as I have 150K warriors,150K archers and 150K Prestige I find the biggest paying-player close to me, suicide my troops to burn up his defense, and quit the server.

    I'm sure this was an unaticipated result of Evony's new stance on Medal Drops and screwing the free players, but hey, at least I have fun for an hour or so.

    Edit, Oh, and I will continue doing this until the Medal Drops are raised, as my personal form of Protest.
    This will be a running tab on server 27...

    Counter stopped at 250K Prestige : Reason, account still stuck at knight, after 25,560 attacks on valleys. Account abandoned.

    well that is a good theory but a lame tactic. really. and if its evony's tactic they are pretty stupid. but who knows why they did it, u will never hear from them.

    you need medals to advance through this game, who is going to play when they cant build a third city? dropping the medal rate does NOT slow the game down. it stops it dead in its tracks. If you want to slow the game down, why not have more medals per title/rank as it says above. or put in more titles/ranks to have after prinzessin. why not have a global new ranking system above princeziin and initiate it on all servers? the old servers everyone is prinzesin and they are maybe bored, this could spice it up! people cant spend 10 hours a day farming for medals, for weeks, just to get one city.
