It is highly unlikely that anything on old worlds will change. Some worlds only have around 100 or less validated accounts on them now due to the policy of removing accounts where they're not logged in for around 2 years. The work involved in making changes to these worlds can't be justified in terms of the monetary gains (negligible) due to so few playing.
It has been suggested many times that there should be a way for a world to actually come to an end other than withering away and dying, but this seems to be not in their plan either.
I am not an employee of EA/Envision. The views expressed are my own!
ah well, it worked out great in my mind. As you say the change doesn't justify the number of players but I did think of it from a business point of view. So, these aliens (only 50 armies strong would eventually become stronger and attempt to kill the forgotten fortress. I think some of the few players still playing would call for reinforcements and look out to some buddies for help. Those buddies join the world and more money starts coming in for EA. How about giving it a try on a very stagnant world and see what happens.
They haven't implemented any suggestions in these forums for a decade and you think they are going to start now with your alien invasion nonsense? never gonna happen.
