		<description>Being said and done...I only came to interest when I googled &#039;evony&#039; and wanted to see a gameplay video or screenshots today.  I&#039;ve seen the ads with the hot chicks in them for awhile now, but if your like me, that ad wouldnt faze you a bit.  Today marketing and promoting is done in such tasteless ways that you &#039;just have to accept it&#039; for face value.  Personally Im more interested in the actual product then what &#039;they&#039; use to sell it/how they sell it.  Sure the ad is....&#039;off topic&#039; if you will, but damn people ITS JUST AN AD...ITS JUST A GAME.  If it offends you, ignore it.  Plain and simple.  If you really want to complain about something then why not bitch at the &#039;women&#039;s magazine&#039; developers.   You look on the cover of ANY womens magazine and what do you see?  You see a super model, looking all hot wearing skimpy ass clothing and what else do you see on the cover &#039;How to have 21 days of scorching hot SEX&#039;, &#039;How to please any man&#039;, &#039;How to have better sex&#039;, &#039;How to turn up your sexlife&#039; etc etc etc.  Which in turn - turns and manipulates all these young girls minds into turning and trying to be someone they really are not....or how about how America is messing up this world and how 9-11 was a lie and set up? or how about ranting for equal rights?  There&#039;s alot more messed up problems in this world and on the net...than a simple hot girl posing for a online game!  I wish that people put this much effort into real problem solving.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t care. You&#039;d swear someone stole your souls the way you all complain. IT IS JUST A USELESS GAME. If you don&#039;t like it, play something else. 

If your offended: BIG DEAL! No one cares. The world will always offend your principles, so get over it. 

Don&#039;t be schmuck - no one ever spends real currency on low quality nonsense - so DON&#039;T. Spend your money on the people in your life or something. If you do spend it, then you asked for it. How can anyone in this day and age actually trust the internet? 

It&#039;s hilarious how some of the men complain about the false adds. Lol. Get over yourselves.</description>

		<description>I used to be a player on the game untell there was a large amount of racism. A player actualy named himself Hitler (guess what his allience name was). After weeks of complaing he was finaly gone. One of the players on my alliance was getting racist letters from members of a different alliance. Some how they found out she is from Vietnam. Even though we complained, and she sent the letters to the creaters nothing happened. I found out from a person in another alliance that that alliance spends a lot of money on the game. Since they care more about people who spend money on their game and not the other players. I just cann&#039;t play.</description>

		<description>I hate Evony because it tkes time away from my relationship. I think there should be more Computer addicts anonomys groups out there for people who spend more than 5 hrs leisure time with the computer than with their spouses.</description>

		<description>i have played evony for almost 2 months now and while i think its a decent game (in some reguards) i dispise the constant encuragement to spend money on the game.
i did spend some money on it however the conversion is really pethetic compared to games like last chaos or perfect world (played both those for 7 months at a time) with evony its $1 = 10 cents with last chaos $1 = 100 AP with perfect world its $1 = 1 gold if i remember the currency right however perfect world may sound like it is a rip the value is pretty decent considering its got 2 forms of currency 
in my time playing evony i have noticed several things that concerned me like it being nearly impossbale to progress with cities then the requiering items to make lv 10 buildings simplistic battle mechanics without visuals 
overall i find runescape funner and a better value (btw if theres a reveiw on runescape id like to read it)</description>

		<description>evony is a great game and sometimes i stay awake right through the night as i am while writing this.It is a great game but someone needs to make something like it that doesn&#039;t involve paying for cents as it gives some an unfair advantage.</description>

		<description>I love the game (true some people in the chats are simple jerks, but what can you do?).
But, in regards to Bruce&#039;s lawsuit and being Australian myself, that after reading some posts I felt compelled to make my own comments on EvonyMasters.com.......basically no so much as supportive of Bruce, but clearly on his side of the fence....and also clearly defendingthe Australian Courts - I am sure Evony will be fined minimum by courts if they proceed. This is due to the fact that I do know something of Corporate law and have been involved in IT (alot in security) for some time (over 10yrs). I am totally convinced that evony is &#039;walking the plank&#039; as I put it in regards to their vilification of a not-for-profit blogger.

Strangely enough - 2 mins after I posted that comment, The servers were upgraded and I can no longer log into my accounts. I fully suspect that my IP address may now have been blocked by them. We will see if that is the case....but its also true that everytime you complain about the many, many bugs in the programming you get no response except how to logon. Their lack of respect for the gaming community will ultimately be their downfall. Unfortunately.....</description>
