Thread: A game for the few only

    i dont claim to of been an angel myself and had done the odd bit of attacking, as you say its an attacking game but i didnt systematically attack the same player and force them out of the game. There will always be bullies in all games so its upto the creators to try and find a balance, ALOT of players are being forced out of a free game and it takes so much effort to restart again. Good point Druegan why dont they remove all those pointless 0 prestige players..

    cheers
    I think yer kinda misunderstanding the thrust of my post, SoNofMaN... I'm not attempting to be "bragging" in any sense of the term. In fact, there's rather a lot of folk on the server I play on who could crush me fairly effortlessly.. Fortunately, they're either friendlies or a long way away.. lol

    Now, that being said, I do spend a *little* cash every now and then.. but frankly, I don't have anywhere *near* enough income to ever be considered a "credit card warrior". Just mebbe a package every couple months, if I should be so fortunate as to have enough cash for any sort of "entertainment budget", and not a big one at that. *shrugs*

    However.. I do consider myself "pretty good" at this game. No, I don't think I can "pwn" everybody... nor do I even remotely consider myself "expert". I just do what a lot of people fail to do.. I read forums, guides, talk to more experienced players, experiment, and well... learn.

    Do I spend a lot of time playing? Yep. Probably too much, to be honest. Dunno exactly what that has to do with the price of tea in china, but the point I was trying to make is that a lot of things are unnecessarily hard on people with less time to play, less knowledge of the game, etc... on the higher servers, simply because Evony refuses to wipe the inactives.

    I pretty much have to spend 8-10 hours a day npc raiding to keep any semblance of a semi-decent army.. and that's with profits from market speculation and the like. Players who can't spend that much time, or aren't lucky enough to be close to a bunch of npc5's... they're most likely going to wind up as farms, sadly.. simply because there are too few resources. Because Evony refuses to do their jobs.

    Ok... yeah, that sort of "crushing someone out of the game"... that's something I don't do... I mean, unless somebody was a real jerk and made it to my personal hate-list or somethin... but I've never *started* something like that.

    I do know what you mean though.. I got stomped on pretty hard on my first server.. and had some terrifyingly unlucky teleports... (like, teleported away from the superheavy who was beating the snot out of me, only to be scouted immediately upon landing by his likewise super-heavy alliance mate right nearby, and teleported away with my last teleport only to wind up within 5 miles of the first guy who was beating the snot out of me... lol) I thought I was doing ok.. but um.. apparently not. So I hopped to 78 when it opened, and put what I'd learned into practice. Doing much better there, but then there's the resource crunch due to the inactives... :/

    Druegan you just confirmed what i thought, it's virtually impossible to make it as a newbie.

    are u kidding?u must b... regardless, say 2 people who have the same game exp. use the same strats(to an extent ofc as activity should control ur strat to some degree) ect. only 1 person plays 2 hours a day an the other plays 10+ hours a day. thats the price of tea in china, ofc. plz dont ask for tea prices regarding money spending. btw nothin personal, just what i observe =)
    i admit they got me too, spent money to get baronet. i also know that gives me a huge advantage to anyone that has not spent money. ntm imo i am a noob for doing it. there is no one on this server that can touch me and everyone around me has tele'ed away, quit playing, or is not worth the time. my alliance has 0 friendlies like 46 players and is rank 2 ina 2-3 week old server. 90% of my alliane is "CC noobs"(myself included), that never log off.

    cheers an have a good day

    Well, things aren't quite so bad on 78.. lol.. Server's a month or so old, I'm ranked in the low 80's in terms of prestige as of this writing... There are 23 players with the title of Furstin, 1 Prinzessin... 1 of those Furstin's only has 1 city... several others have 3-4... 2 have 8... the Prinzessin has 3.. there's just not any room to grow..

    I dunno about how much of an "incredible advantage" it gives... there's at least one of those Furstins I could kick the crap out of.. I bought baronet, but I farmed Baron. I didn't get my 3rd city till a week ago, and I built that one on a flat opened up when somebody teleported. Got real lucky on that one.

    Of course, people with a lot of time to kill will have an advantage.. but it's like that on just about every game. The more you play, the more you "level", the stronger you get relative to others. Unless it's something where you're limited to "500 turns a day" or somesuch.. which usually aren't worth the bother playing. *shrugs*

    My alliance is tiny.. 17 members.. ranked 56th on the server. We fought a much higher ranked alliance with 100 members and a few satellite alliances to a standstill till they asked for peace.. *shrugs* and only a few of our members have purchased cents, whereas the other guys were spending them like water... (one of those Furstins I mentioned earlier had to teleport his cities out of the state, has done 2 name changes, and spent about a week in truce.. lol)

    So I guess it depends on what server you're on as to just how bad it gets.
