Seems like an ad hominem attack.

June 18, 2010 numerous charges appeared on my paypal account to Regan Mercantile which is evony’s source for payments through paypal. I recognized it from the few times I actually did pay. What was wrong this time? Monthly recurring subscriptions at $30 US a pop repeatedly that I did not authorize, the end total came to a bounced checking account of over $1100 US!!!

Between paypal and my bank account I have a fraud investigation going as there is no way in hell that I would allow this to happen. Both are being extremely helpful and understanding. They also brought to my attention that it was further a weird situation that even after my bank account and c/c had refused further action and was rejecting the payments, suddenly money was being sent back into my account so more money could be charged against it. My bank said they had never seen anything like this.

Now to evony’s side of the issue. After they were contacted about the issue the only answer I got from them was to pay for all of the rejected payments in full. They refused to go back and restore my account to what it was before this happened. They did not care that my paypal account was somehow accessed without permission. The end result on their side is that my account is permanently frozen in holiday mode and they will not unfreeze it until they get the money they want which is a ridiculous amount.

On my side, I am done with the game completely. I have closed the paypal account and the associated bank account due to this issue. I now have gone back to the games I used to play and am spreading word everywhere that I can to warn others from getting caught in this same scam. I have told them I will not pay for something I didn’t authorize them to take in the first place.

1: English language accuracy was low level, resulting in huge confusion for beginners (ie – the persistent use of the word “valley” , when its actually a resource location)

2: Confusing terminology between Rank and Title

3: Wiki page is too extensive covering basics, but lacking in specifics. No usefull search engine therein !

4: Subscribers who initially enjoy the game, become frustrated with lack of advancement, so they have to purchase items to continue.

5: Now it gets insidious. A Medal Box is advertised as 88-cents to purchase. Its real cost is $10 USD minimum

6: You will never understand all the rules ! There are so many products and enhancements to achieve or purchase, for you to continue. Your better devoting the time to get a real Law Degree.

7: The game is full of ‘shills’ If you make a negative comment in World Chat, you will get 4 or 5 immediate whispers countering your opinion. Then, unsurprisingly, you don’t have enough cents to further comment in public chat. But you can purchase cents to allow you to continue. Strange, huh ?

8: There is no end result or winner ! I suspect the top ranked Hosts and Lords are game employees, managing and farming the game.

9: You cannot appeal or dispute an action or result that you have incurred. Because ………….

10: The developers are making up the rules as they go along As well they can adjust settings, tables, algorithims or what ever they want to their advantage.

CONCLUSION: Try the game. Don’t get too emotional with it. Quit when you feel your compelled to buy a Medal to advance. These developers make me nervous about protecting my c/card.

The chinese people as a race have just as many scammers and shady individuals per capita as every other race. Deal with it. If you are of Chinese decent the phrase “Chinese Gold Farmer” doesnt apply to you nor is it directed at you. Unless you also farm gold for real world money.

If bruce wanted to make it racist he would have left off the gold farmer bit and just said “Would you want a Chinese person in your compter.” Im not a racist and I dont defend racism. But Im sick of reading and hearing people cry foul of racisim simply because they feel insulted. Lets all grow an extra layer of skin.

Be Well!
