Empire Craft, the next Evony?

Empire Craft Logo

Well, if the Chinese gold farmers can make one free MMO scam with Evony, then they can make another one. Or even a whole string of them.

Empire Craft looks very much like the next one out of the production line. Everything about it has the same look and feel. They have an identical Terms of Use agreement. And there is the same lack of transparency about who is behind it.

So brace yourself for a second torrent of spam and dubious advertising. As more of these games are published, and they will be, the internet will clog up with their activity.

It looks like the face of gaming has changed forever.

Edit: It looks like Empire Craft is totally innocent and is nothing to do with Evony.

Not Chinese gold farmers, it’s China-man gold farmers. Just so you know, a lot of Chinese are not from China, and I’m one of them. Most Chinaman MMO sucks ass, avoid them at all costs!

Lol You know, I just saw an ad for this with some obviously ripped off fan art of a WoW night elf, saw the same box design and thought “Evony/Civony” is at it again!

I wonder if somebody is ripping off Evony’s ad design.
Now that’s ironic.

Ironically enough, there’s an ad for Empire Craft right on this article.

Seems like no one else noticed, that this Empire Craft thing stole the King’s Bounty logo… pf.

As I am reading this article an ad for Empire Craft (with its blatant ripoff WoW woman) is staring right at me

#11 A guy who saw one of the empire craft ads on this on 09.14.09 at 6:02 pm

I just saw an Empire Craft ad on this page. What a coincidence…

#12 Demented622 on 09.15.09 at 7:36 pm

Talk about being a hypocrite!! You knock the game “Empire Craft” as being Chinese money maker, yet you have an ad for Empire Craft on this very page!! How much are you ripping them to pay for this ad space?? You make me laugh!!!

#13 Trent on 09.18.09 at 10:52 pm

Now would be a good time to mention the add on this page is FOR Empire Craft. Shut up Bruce please

#14 Concerned Citizen on 09.27.09 at 5:28 am

Seems like the two people above me don’t know how google ads work

#15 pete78 on 11.06.09 at 9:43 pm

Empire……Age of Empires
Craft………Warcraft of Startcraft
