why do we need more advertising with "Evony Queen"?
just a few thoughts regarding your idea of having an "Evony Queen" , first is that it just means more advertising from yourselves. which in turn means more players , more server lag , more crashes , and finally a mass exodus of good players.
you would be better to sort out a premium acct system which has extras available for those that choose to pay for them but not on the outragous scale you have at the moment. something that is $4 to $5 a month would be a lot fairer and a lot more people would consider paying it. paying players pay for staff and servers.
look at other games of this nature and see how they raise revenues, an example is a very popular one Tribal Wars, they have a column of advertising to the side of the screen.
yes other games have lags and crashes too but not to the extent. I know it is early stages but you need to get the game sorted out properly before looking at advertising.
you have made a brilliant game , please walk before you run or your quest to have a great successful game will crash and be known as an Epic Fail.
enough of my rant and venting my spleen ....
cheers more beers
