I represent a group of active players on SS1 - we would like to know when or if SS1 will be merged with other servers to bring the game alive again.

Mian et al
Discussing the forum thread with my business peers in software, two very strong possible reasons for silence from Evony arose.
Scenario 1.
There is a problem at Evony and they have no clue yet how to fix it, keeping in mind ours was the first SS1 merge, call us the guinea pigs. Evony may have written us in a merge corner and we cannot get out of in this (SS1) without losing all or some data. Subsequent mergers did not have the same error written into them and were able to be merged and then some merged again to test the improved software. You could say patches or fixes can be written, which is true but Evony has tested these and the still loss of data occurs.
Scenario 2.
This one also has some merit to it. Evony is cashing out or selling out. No real development change to the overall site for some time, sure there is routine maintenance but no real action. If a software firm is selling, you will try to get the numbers up, attention to the product (hype), show a lucrative influx of cash to interested parties. Toss a price out there and wait ( a business plan used that has only one outcome, we will lose at the end of the day ). The asking price set too high and no takers, current Evony has no plans to further develop the site until a buyer is found.
Of interest, it should be noted that the last outage we received a comp ( was too overly generous) if compared to past outages. This last one could be seen as an attempt to buy time.
Evony these are my thoughts and none have yet to be proven true but your silence in this matter is troublesome. Evony reps who are regular to the forum, such as Dawnseeker are quiet, someone out there must have the balls to come forth and tell us something. So with today’s newest package of running with the bulls to tempt you to spend money, I would really caution you. This is not to say boycott but rather, make you aware that maybe your throwing your money away.

merge SS1 with another larger server it really needs a new playing field
-
I also totally agree that SS1 needs a server merge. We are losing way too many players due to SS1 play now more about feeding troops than battle strategies.
Short version is it's getting BORING and needs a 'shot in the arm" or your going to see more players leave.
Merge please!!!!

Reading down through all of these I keep seeing the same thing over and over. That "I agree with what everyone is saying", "this server is stale and boring", "good friends and players are quitting". I realize that so far the people that have posted represent a small number of the players on ss1, but I can guarantee that what is posted represents ALL players of ss1, including myself.
Once upon a time I thought omg I am going to need professional help to get me away from this game. Lately I feel like evony is doing that for me, slowly weaning me off of this as the boredom grows. Its all become a routine of late, log in, farm, (pray for a merge mail), then move about my day, repeat in a few hours. No one here is playing for the excitement of the game anymore, we are playing because we have spent 2 years of our time and MONEY building our accounts hoping desperately that a merge will come soon and we can put our stuff to real use. The only other thing that keeps me here is friends, however, on a daily basis friends are leaving (paying friends i may add), and most of my close friends I talk to out of game anyway, so really what is the use for evony.
Anyway in case its not clear, I COMPLETELY agree with what others have said here, and pretty sure I will agree with the posts that will come after mine.
We are not the only server complaining/begging for a merge, so why not just throw us together and shut us up!!!!!!

This is a great idea Mian, let’s get the idea out to evony that something needs to happen and soon. Ive tried to quit, and its my friends that keep me coming back. ss1 is getting stale and old.
Evony, ss1 makes you a hell of a lot of money. If you merge us it will make you a hell of a lot more. If you don’t you’ll lose good paying players and future paying players. I’ve put too much time and effort into this account to start all over on another server.

Ok Evony..in the years that I have played this game you have NEVER received a post from me on any topic. But this, I have to put my two cents in on.
Since the beginning of ss1, we have been surrounded by dead cities, inactive players and wasted space. Many asked for that to change, nothing happened. there is a city on this server that came from s22 that was dead 6 months before the merger. Seriously??? If I cleaned my house the way you clean this server, the health department would condemn me.
There are too many NOOB accounts being formed daily if not by the minute..not enough enhancements to the game overall and for Pete's sake..get rid of the damn dead 0 pop cities!!
I survived one merger...and I have to agree I think it is time for Evony to buck up, put their big girl panties on and make this Merge happen.

I remember fondly beginning on S23, 3 short months before server merge to SS1. It was an exciting time, forming bonds within alliance and with other alliances, working out strategies, to claim territory protect it and pushing the enemy back, fighting and logging in constantly to see what is happening next. I remember the anticipation of fighting and defending, the exhilaration that it brought. I spent money like a fool! We were all in it together having a great fun time here in Evony.
Ah, yes, the good ole' days..........fast forward to present. I feel like a forgotten veteran of past wars. Gone are many of the great fighters and suppliers of our time, due to indifference. The chests, the wonderful presents, well they don't come so often anymore, and neither do I send them. It is a daily drone of farm, cap a flat, farm, build, farm. The anticipation of logging in to see what happened while I was away, or the expectation of a good fight, have all faded away. Strategy and thought to survive, or win, in a war torn world....it's not needed. And I wonder.....
How could Evony let this happen? I often wonder if they know they have taken away the fun that we used to have while we wile away the hours spending time away from real life to join our commrades for War! And spending our money here! Are we truly forgotten? The anticipation of a rumored server merge now brings disbelief and frustration rather than a thought to plan for it and hope for it. No one wants to start on another server as a noob. The indifference to the game is growing stronger by the minute. Is that not the worst thing that could happen in Evony world?
It is past due, that Evony pays attention to SS1 and merge this server. Many of us have paid Evony. Now it is time for you to pay attention. Get this merge underway before it is too late and your loyal and faithful customers, the veterans, wander off into the night never to be heard from again!

Hail ODIN! -
In spite of the recent post by kingtony, I still think SS1 needs a merge (hehe...)
How long can Evony expect the long time players of this server (many of which date back to the opening day of servers 17-23) to continue going through the exact same sequence day in and day out? I am not sure how well the server is known by the developers, as far as daily life in the game goes, but the words "stale" and "stagnant" come to mind.
Logging into the game is about as exciting as watching water boil, and i do not personally know many people who will pay money to do that - not for very long at least.
If I understand correctly, this game was created as a money making venture. In order for any company to make money, it must keep its customers satisfied. I would like to know how merging SS1 would HURT business for Evony. How would it decrease the pleasurable game experience for players on any existing server?
In short, I would love to hear Evony's reasoning for not giving their paying customers what they are asking for. If Evony has tired of our money, please do let us know; however, if not, then understand that we are serious when we say this is beyond tiring.

Once a pony time we had fun porting around states doing our great battles having our victories and plunders to have our war cities going for yet a day or two or? oh welll.......
That aint no more Evony states are full cos noobs happend Evony failed on us in that department will you fail us even more not giving us our merger Evony??
Long serving loyal costumers are keepers have you got that wrong Evony? -
ss1 needs to merge its the same old wars with the same old people no offence to everyone
DaddySaenz host of vestige -
We need a merge....
So how about it Evony? -
SS1 needs to move on.
This site was intended to make it possible for Evony to listen to Players and respond to our ideas and needs - which is a great idea - so show us you mean it!
Server merge now! -
For the Love of God, we need a merge. We need new people to kill and new people with different tactics and diffferent alliances. Hitting the same alliances over and over does get boring. Please evony consider us for a merge very soon. We deserve and need it.

We really want a merger of SS1. Its become the same repetitive wars & retaking npcs ripped out regularly by evony. We all would rather get to fight new alliances face new challenges. We r long overdue this merger with constant rumors & no satisfaction. We have all seen people quit due to boredom so give us r wish & get on with merging ss1.

LadyKat-Host Of EvilInc, Although I agree a Server merge would be great i hate the fact of alliances being split up I'm sure many others also would have this concern.. But as far as the new people and places I'm all a go for it, and make it a good one Evony i dont wanna beat on Noobs just not right...
Life is a battle feild,
LadyKat -
Please evony for the love of god merge us with another server. warring with people of which you already know their tactics is not fun. More people are just going to leave the server. I played on s17, and all the way through ss1. its been a few years now. Give us something new to play with. I will tell you, that I absolutely will not go start over on any of your BRAND NEW AGE I SERVER's!
My only option past a no merge is for me to leave. People can only keep you around for so long before you are just completely bored with the game from the mass amounts of repetitiveness.

we badly needa a merge......

Rumor after rumor of a pending merge. I watch people leave the game because they are tired of the same old thing day after day. Same targets, same npc's to rebuild as they are swiped away at maintenance. We need freshness and a server merge would provide that. Evony is a war game and a social game. I am all for a server merge even with the initial hassle's it may represent. SS1 needs this to keep the great players we have before they leave us for good.

we need the merge to live things up

The sever needs a merger and soon, we are losing to many good and loyal evony players as we all know each other too well. We need new blood and lots of it

I am in total agreement here
I have been on SS1 since the merge,and we have many active and experienced players who are still very loyal to SS1. But we are in desperate need of a merger to make it more lively and interesting for us. Please consider merging our server into another.

Also get rid of the inactive players so our map doesn't have to get bigger (longer travel times) Or simply increase the speed of the units.... -
we need a merger badly, all good players are leaving or going inactive.
it takes the fun out of the game, if ss1 doesn't merge with other servers soon.
so please evony, merge us, merge us
hope to see you all in a new server

A merge is infinitely preferable to the monotonous cycle of Evony flat clearing and our cycle of retaking/rebuilding. We'd like to put our time to use in something more stimulating, like playing a war game. We've been recycled on SS1 for over a year and a half. We'd like a new challenge.

The warlord server has gotten stagnant, stale and even a bit boring. Once great alliances are dying as longtime SS1 players are dropping like flies. Evony please consider this another vote in favor of a merger for SS1.
Thank you, Mian, for spearheading this effort.

I'm all for a merge. But if a merge can't happen, I'd really like it if Evony can get rid of players that quit. Too many dead accounts polluting the server.

a merge is definately what ss1 needs, im sure we can all agree we still have friends scattered around the server (at least the ones that haven`t left yet anyways) and i think fighting them just isn`t all that fun. our server needs new faces and enemies, new members to the game just don`t cut it as they are generally wiped out and gone very quickly.
i believe ss28 wanted to merge to face us so that could be a likely candidate :]

i have said this once and i will say it again... This server needs a merge. If/when it happens, I ask for all of the 0 pop accounts that haven't logged on for 1 month to be zero'd out.
People are quiting due to the boredom. I remember the good old days on server 23 where there were active people who enjoyed each other and fighting each other.
Evony i hope you will merge us. This has been long over due.

good evening Mian et al
After many drafts of this reply, a review of each came back with a problem and a recommendation from another party to not post, as my remarks became too inflammatory and take away from what we are all trying to do. Soooo, taking a cue from Evony themselves I have a much better way for them to hopefully respond to us or at least bring a very real global reaction to our plight here in Evony Age 1. Lets go back a couple years, when Evony asked us Kings and Queens to write about Evony in positive way, and if they liked it you would be rewarded with cents. Well peeps its time we do this yet again but with a different spin. I am asking all of you not to author anything but write “ to every “ blogger, on line magazine anything at all involved with on line games and such. Ask them to visit our forum
http://feedback.evony.com/evony/topic...
and let them read about our issue’s with Evony. Let the writers and editors from these products make their own conclusions about Evony, let them publicy, globally write to their audience about what is going on over at Evony. Lets give Evony the attention it deserves both positive but surely negative. So please spread the word to these groups, the more awareness we create, the better of an outcome we will enjoy.
So I bid you all a good night and bon chance on the battlefield

Well Evony you sure no how to make a good game boring, I have been playing this game for 2.5 years and have become increasingly bored in the past 6mths. I have made many friends from various alliances over the years and few enemies too but now is the time to say enough is enough. I have deceided it is time to leave as I am bored of farming and shouting at the monitor.

Ok so we all want a merge of the servers and hey I think it would be good myself. But lets face it as long as the server is makeing money then there will be no new server until the bottom line is reached, this is a wast of time.
Ok so how do we do this? In my opinion it would require patience and some restraint on our part. I know some people are bored and you know it is going to have to get a lot more boring before the server merges with another.
Ok so what am I talking about? Well it means ending all wars that are ongoing now, even with those alliances that really don't want the merge. We have to get to the place where people are not going to want or need to use coin for reasons like truceing and holidaying also buying excalabers and wealth of nations, teleports and other items that are needed to repair and go on.
So now are we willing to do this? Are we willing to put up with 0 activity on the server for a while maintaining our accounts to wait for a merge? This is what I mean by patience and restraint. We can't expect others to sit there and be attacked without useing items they should. Why should they just sit there? Also what about you teleporting all over the evony map chaseing a few people, you are useing items as well that cost money.
So are we there yet? Can the top 20 alliances sit and agree to stop the on going wars in an effort to make a difference in the quest of a server merge? We have the power to do it, we just need to patience and restraint to do it, and the will power to keep it up until the deed is done.

I wonder if you can sue Evony for untrue promises they make about this game.
play discreetly = untrue
fun = untrue (maybe it could be if Evony actually listened to its players)
the entire customer service and customer support system = BULLSH*T
evony, we pay you generous amounts of money to you so that we may enjoy ourselves playing your game, but I for one am not enjoying myself, and the entire ss1 servers is not enjoying itself, in fact there are MANY servers that aren't enjoying themselves because they are inactive and you corporate pieces of crap wont do anything about it. -
-
Alright I remember when i first started out on this game, the first merger was my reason to stay and play, My account was stolen within the past year when i wasn't actively playing, When i heard of the possibility i came right on back with a new account, I plan on staying for a while but we cant all wait forever for the game to freshen up.

i cant log in my account on SS61... lag
I'd really urge anyone asking for a merge to play 1 day on one of the many servers that people complain about lag on.. ss61 and ss60 are RANCID
I've honestly lost more friends after a merge due to lag and basic inability to even PLAY.
I long miss s128 where at least i could time some attacks on SOMETHING
Before you ask for a merge you need to realize how badly it will destroy your game experience.
I remember loggin some old server cuz some guy was saying the exact same thing I am now saying. I logged in a new accnt and waited maybe 10 mins without a bad storm of lag and dismissed it - BIG mistake.
not to mention the 300 people that own 1000's of flat filler accnts, the server fills up (every state) every other day, evony literally lost control of this server.
But sure i hope you get a merge, but not everything that goes along with getting a merge.
...guess ill try to log in again :( -
