Thread: Lol at this 'free' game

  1. #1

    Default Lol at this 'free' game

    Just to put this out there, first and foremost, I really enjoy playing evony. I'd like to think that I've gotten pretty far, even though I've never really medal farmed my way all the way to prinzessin, being at about 600k prestige and 2nd in honor on server 38, but evony is getting ridiculous to play now. There's a 'bug' (except that bug has a connotation that it's an accident, rather than by design) that makes rose medals no longer drop on new servers, so basically you can't get past knight unless you pay money. And everyone keeps talking like this is going to change, or evony is going to come out with age 2. The entire time I've played evony, they haven't come up with any new content. Which i guess isn't very surprising, since they didn't come up with the original content in the first place. So basically now they have a hundred thousand players or so interested in their game due mostly to their massive (and stupid) ad campaign and they want to squeeze money out of them before killing their cash cow. Rather than coming up with any sort of new content to keep people interested, combined with reasonable payments for small advances. I don't know who is running evony, but they seriously need to take a business class or something. I'm done with this garbage. At this point I'm basically just left with amusement at the people with their heads up their asses who run this game, because it's an effective coping mechanism for how insanely frustrating I find this game now.

    Anything else? I hate to say it but you can stop all the frustrating feelings that you have simply by clicking the "X" in the top right corner of the screen.

    The basis of this game is grow, obtain rank, go to war, and thats about it.

    I can compare it to somthing like reaching level 80 for WoW (if you are familiar with it)....there are a few things to do, but other than that you've pretty much reached the end game. Sorry you're so bored.....go attack the number on alliance on your server to make things interesting?

    Show me the game that has the same content as Evony please?
    I have yet to find it, except for one that is newer than Evony and it's not really the same. Please don't say Civilization or Age of Empires, because I have played both and they are totally different.

    It isn't like reaching level 80 in wow, something that takes months to do and is the 2nd expansion for a game. Also, don't know how it is now (since I stopped playing because it requires too much time) but when you hit 70 that was maybe 1/10th of the time you could spend farming, raiding, pvping, etc and still advancing a character.
    Once you reach the upper echelons of this game there is _nothing_ to do except attack other players and keep on spamming troops. And I was advanced enough (although judging by new servers, this was basically lack of competition) that there was no threat I could possibly be attacked.
    This is beside the point though. I don't think new content is ever going to come. They've had what, 7 months to come up with content beyond what they stole from an early 90s game (civilization, which they basically took and made multiplayer) and all that has entailed is a bizarre range of payment packages, new servers, and them slowly nerfing rose medal drops into the ground.
    My contention isn't even that there's nothing new though, since I could be content to restart ad nauseum and build up and play for a month or two, then move on to one of the dozens of new servers they've created that week. I just object to their policy regarding medals. Rather than introduce content to keep players involved for longer periods of time, they just make advancement impossible without paying money. It just hurts my brain to see how much money they're wasting with this many people interested in their game. I'm reasonably sure evony is one of the more popular browser based games around, and they're just ****ing it all away.

    The same content as Evony?

    Try a ROM site, where they emu old SNES games. It's a good little game and all but lets be real. Its retro.

    Put a name to it. If you are saying Civilization, I disagree.

    Let's get this straight, most new games borrow from other games in the same genre and then put their own content on. This is not new. Even Sid Meiyer admits that he borrowed heavilly from a board game to develop Civilization.
    Evony doesn't play the same as Civilization at all. There is no age progression and there are no wonders to name two aspects. There are many more.

    I have been gaming for more than 30 years. I have seen a lot of games in that time.

    Well part of his complaints was that you cannot obtain grow or obtain higher rank due the rose medals "issue".

    You can obtain rose medals. All you have to do is be persistent in your quest. It's not like they don't exist.

    LOL I know how bad it is to try and find Rose medals of all things.....

    The most common question for new players would be " Where r all da roze medalss plz?"


    The answer would be, who knows. Find em. Consider it an easter egg hunt if it helps you keep your sanity.



    It was a pain for me, will be a pain for anybody looking for them....

    but they exist.
