    Default Time For EVONY To Disclose

    There comes a point when every organization has to face up to the probability of corruption within its ranks. Evony is like any other organization. Insider advantage must become a concern,

    Therefor I call upon Evony to disclose all employee player accounts, including the server the account is on and the player name on that account.

    The Evony back end is a database just like any other database, with multiple ways in, and the means for insiders to enhance their own accounts and the accounts of their friends. Extra troops, extra supplies, extra prestige.

    How do we know the game is honest? How can we be sure that these mysterious losses of troops and supplies are not deliberate on the part of Evony insiders?

    Just like every other business, Evony needs to assure the integrity of the game to its client base. AND Evony needs to ensure that insiders are not cheating.

    BTW does Evony have the means of detecting hacking? Could hackers be doing the same kids of things for themselves? I wonder. After all, if they can hack the Pentagon and Big Banks, would Evony be any less vulnerable?

    Many of us would appreciate an official response from Evony.

    So true. We do need to detect glitches and hackers in the database and the servers.

    For some of us, Evony is like crack and we can't get enough.

    It is so very easy to blame the staff members. It is also unfair.

    There is absolutely NO chance that Evony will disclose all staff accounts. Why? Because every person here with a grievance will come grief the daylights out of them until they can no longer play the game at all. I used to play openly, with my forum name on my game account. I asked ONE player to calm down some highly obscene world chat ONCE. The result was him stalking me on the forums and in-game for two months with multiple obscenities and harassment. His harassment spread to my alliance mates, who are regular players with no involvement with the company, and he generally made a nuisance of himself in every way possible. Can you imagine if everyone could find all of us?

    We play anonymously because we enjoy the game, and it is the only way we CAN play. I assure you that the people who have access to the game admin itself don't play. They may create test accounts to verify lag or run tests of mechanics and such, but they don't actively play. Those who actively play, like myself, do not have any direct access to the game admin.

    I am in an alliance that has one of the mods on the forums. I can assure you, he receives no benefit from Evony. If he does, then it can't be much. He takes his fair share of battle losses and city losses during wars. By no means is he one of the best accounts in our alliance.

    Maybe things are different for actual employees like admins, but I doubt it. The volunteer force of mods get no extra bonuses in-game that I can see.

    I don't even understand the question.

    This information should not be disclosed because it would remove grounds for posting fun conspiracy theories to discuss on the forums.
    On second thought, conspiracy theories will remain regardless of if the information is made public or not.

    Well, I can offer my experience as a new moderator - long term player. I played on Civony Beta and then S1 and then WN1. I gave up playing when I became a moderator because I'd asked to help moderate the WN forums and I wanted to avoid a conflict of interest and any claims of bias. I also moderate S1 and despite not playing on S1 since May 09 (in an alliance that no longer exists) I know that I still have to win over some players' trust.

    One thing that is hard is posting on the forums itself. Sometimes I post in my capacity as moderator ("let's get this thread back on track") and sometimes I post as an interested member of the boards. That can confuse people I think.

    The game is honest, and we have plenty of checks and balances to ensure there is no corruption.

    If I want cents, I purchase cents. If I want a package, I will purchase a package.

    As for you checking a glitch or some 'hack' attempt, you do not have access to the database and so you could not verify this information that we have. A company operating an online game would not give this access to non-employees.

    If you do have a request or want to report an issue, by all means submit those reports in the tech/bug sections.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Closing the thread as it's answered.
