IEvony is simply their affiliate program. Have any of you heard of affiliate programs? They are simply paying people with game cents who help being them more players. It’s SMART business. That’s all it is. There are millions of affiliate programs all over the Internet.

Evony is not telling people to spam other people. The people who are spamming are the ones who aren’t following the rules. You are’t supposed to spam others.

I have had technical difficulties and their technical team SUCKS, but Evony is not a criminal website like you all make it out to be.

And Evony isn’t spamming your websites. They are paying for ads from Google. If you don’t want their ads showing up on your website, you simply go to your Adsense account and block them. My God. Get real. Seriously.

Until he sees those ads coming in and specifically blocks them. Though they have ways around that, as well.

So Mike Byron and Dan, you’re dead wrong.

Don’t take the “dumbass” part as personal; I did not intially think that I was going to post this here, but then I realized it would be a nice addition to… Well. keep on reading.

You have to realize that if you’re going to preach against one, you should also preach against the others, also blatantly (yet less obviously) exploiting the female image.

If you take the game at face value, it’s fun, you can play solo or alliance, however–the upward limit of lvl ten comes very quickly, and once you get there, (usually in about two weeks) there’s nowhere to go but another server (they are up over 60 now) and start again from the bottom.

It has a very limited life per player, and I suspect a huge turn over of players who max out and suddenly discover the same game every time.

The Ievony thing is a true rip, as you are expected to involve your friends by giving out their email addys to evony (my friends would have me drawn and quartered), who Im sure then bombard them with invitations. the draw? You get 500 ‘free’ game cents.

big whoop.

Im on my third time around, and it’s starting to get old very fast. Finally got my third fort, and I think thats about it for me.

I just wish the kids who use the chat function could spell…lol

All was well, then suddenly the “Call of the warlords” gimmick shows up. Basically, it crams all the players of 5 servers into 1, without regard to their prestige level or number of conquered or owned cities. They did this with a one-day notice before actually doing it. Cost cutting or otherwise, I personally think it was an under-handed move to cut down on the number servers they have or force players to battle it out in one over-crowded server and “kill-off” the weaker smaller players and anyone who is unlucky enough to be off-line when the attack begins.

Whatever the motivations of the developers were in doing this “Call of the Warlords” campaign, they ruined it for me and some of those who have been playing this game.They did this to server 1 to 5 and merged it into a single server called wn1.Alot of players lost cities, accounts and supplies. Many complained, no explanations were give. Now, they have merged server 9 with 4 other servers and by tommorrow, we will be battling it out, if and when we do get to go online again.

Maybe Evony is an Age of Empires clone. But I enjoyed every minute I played it for the past three months that I have kept my account. However, things will turn sour pretty soon. I won’t bore anyone with the specifics, but to maintain a massive army in an over-crowded server is not fun, and the cynical side of me is starting to think that this is what we get for players not buying game cents from a supposedly “free game’ and is a way to cut down cost in maintaining this on-line game.
