@Bruce

RE: ”What I don’t understand is why the mainstream press haven’t got hold of this. There are some very important issues here.”

Have you tried promoting this more using the social bookmarking sites, Digg is an awesome method of gettting stuff out there as is twitter. The more people know the better in my opinion!

Have to agree evony are corrupt to the core! Been playing for about a year and spending around $30 per month, ran into some problems, contacted evony support for help and to this day they haven’t responded! In short Evony couldn’t give a damn about their customers and even tho they promote the game as ”Free Forever” every single thing about the game is designed to persuade players to buy, indeed to be successful you need to spend.

The wheel of fortune for instance only gives you what you dont need (very irritating) same with medals if you need honor medals for promotion, medal farming will give you something else. However if you succumb to buying a medal chest you can guarentee your next medal farming will give you medals you needed before the purchase.

Noted with some interest that Evony definately dont practice what they preach. For instance they’re taking you to court over freedom of speach issues, but by the same token dont allow their members to express their opinions. I resently got banned at the forums for voicing my opinions of there diabolicl customer services.

Good luck with your campaign.

You should use a disclaimer that says that any litigation against your website is limited to jurisdiction of your town, or something very specific to counter the idiots and this new category of trolls. I hope this company will burn in the nesuing streisand effect.

Bruce, your articles have cost them just as much as if you pirated their game…

By the way, I served in the armed services in America, if someone wants to take my rights that I earned with blood and sweat then they can try it in my country.

Anybody tries to sue me in another country and I just wont go to court. I don’t pay taxes in America to deal with that bullshit in another country that I have no loyalty to.

Bruce you committed no crime in any country, tell them to come to you with complaints. Better yet just drop 100 Atomic bombs on China since they don’t intend to ever get with the rest of the world on the international shit.

Wow, how awful. After this I’m paranoid to so much as leave a comment on your blog!

I actually just saw an ad for Evony (one of the ones that makes it look like Age of Empires or Civilization, NOT one of the half dressed women ads) and it looked intriguing, but I decided to read up on it first. I was linked here from Wikipedia and I can assure you I won’t be giving those people any of my time! This worries me very much; one thing I have not found is what happens if you just ignore it?
