		<description>First this blog went from talking about evony and press and how bad it is then it went to counseling for some chick that wont leave her husband alone and then i skipped some lol and went to the bottom and it was about how good the game was. What is this blog about? if its about bad press, sure everything gets some bad press, if its about that crazy chicks husband, get over yourself, if it&#039;s about the game being good, its amazing and if you dont like it, your entitled to say that, but if you dont know what the blog is about shut-up okay? its about bad press, not about your personal issues or what you think of the game. It gets bad press okay if you were as big a deal as this game is, people would be looking for bad things to say about you 24/7. Overall this is called a failblog sorry brucey :/ get over yourselves people.</description>

		<description>I love Evony! I&#039;ve been playing over a year. Tell you what, I can play the game better for free than more than half the people who blow their life savings on it in an attempt at game greatness that they seem to think will carry over to their real life.  Bottom line: If you don&#039;t like the game, don&#039;t play it. If you do like it, play it, but watch out for me ;). If you are no good at the game, stop whining because you get your butt kicked and find something that suits you better.</description>

		<description>Lol..that last post was correct. Evony will destroy your personal life, however, for some of us that don&#039;t have anything better to do it is way past worth it. For those of you that have never tried it then u have little room to talk. If you have played it and still feel the same then u are entitled. I personally have made many friends off the game and learned a lot about myself and how to read others, which are good life skills to learn. Let&#039;s not forget that not everyone has to love a game. But, lets not ruin it for those that do. I would love to work for Evony one day. Any game that has that many players, especially that many that play it all day and all night has got to be good. Otherwise no one would do it. Thanks for letting me put in my 2 cents(no pun intended) :)</description>

		<description>I have played EVONY, well, since before it was Evony, it was called Civony and I was a beta tester.  I have seen many changes in format since the game&#039;s inception.   The changes have all been geared towards &quot;encouraging&quot; players to &quot;buy&quot; more items.  There is no debating this.  Even when players created defensive strategies by building NPC&#039;s around them Evony removed the players creation.  The EVONY team continues to interfere with the gamer with the singular purpose of gleaning more cash from players.  Customer support is NON-Existant.  I had an issue where Evony &quot;lost&quot; my coins, I wrote for 3 months with no response.  Even the powerless moderators were unable to contact EVONY.  They simply took my money without recourse.   Evony is simply a money grabbing effort.  Want examples?  I have tons.  Sure you can still suceed, but you must quit your job and have your dinner brought to your computer because you have to log some serious hours EVERYDAY.  Want to take a little break?  Then you pay for it.......am I bitter about the experience? Nope, I could care less.....the FACT is...this game WAS conceived and excuted to bilk as much money as possible from players.  There is no arguement against that.</description>

		<description>I am trying evony out and I am checking to see how it goes seems fine right now but I dislike the paying aspect. Anyways bruce runescape is a online flash game but something similar to this that doesn&#039;t&#039; require you paying is Utopia a game I played along time ago.   It is good fantasy game also from what I have seem it is much more warfare based and while you don&#039;t get to pick your starting allies it is kingdom builder that is free and when I last played you couldn&#039;t buy your way ahead I haven&#039;t played in awhile but after I get bored and killed by people who brought their way ahead of me I think I&#039;ll go check it out just putting it out there if someone is looking for something somewhat like this with less shadiness. Also I enjoyed my time with the game that even though I have not played it in a couple of years I would recommend it to anyone looking stat game fix plus you can be undead and that is just damn cool
I&#039;m sure there are tons of other games just like this but read about 55% of this and intend to read the rest of this and did not see a single recommendation of a different game that was akin to this one so I thought I&#039;d post this.
I sure there will be a few naysayers who will chide me for shamelessly plugging Utopia but I am in no connected to them I just enjoyed the game immensely and giving a option that people might try if they are looking for something different</description>
