"Your Queen awaits you"
...
Indeed it doesn't. Its actually a really dumb way to advertise. You get people expecting boobs and half naked, tied up queens in here. They start their cities, see nothing resembling queens or boobs, leave. They don't pay, they only consume bandwidth. Its like trying to attract customers to your guitar shop by pretending that it is a strip joint. How much you want to bet 90% of Evony's "Half a million accounts" are abandoned emptiness due to this very reason alone?
hey i didnt realise this topic was already been discust, ive just opened a new thread but here what i put...
im soo tired of seeing the advertisements for Evony receantly, i just think there so cheesey and cheap, had id seen one of these advertisements before i registered i dont think id be playing now because the way i see it is if the ads cheap then the game probably is..
i found this game through an advertisement about 4weeks ago, the advert was just a picture of the lands it said Evony, play now, free forever or something like that but it grabbed my attention and i did something i never do, clicked an ad.
but as the games gone on and ive invested money for Evony to spend on adverts theyve just gone stupid, first it was a pic of a woman with saggy bits and it said save ur queen, ok a little cheesey and daft but ok.. then as time goes on the writing changed to Evony Save ur lady, Play secretly.
and now its a different woman or maybe same woman with a wonder bra, it says Evony in the top left corner really really small and i was only able to make it out becuase i recognised the world inside the o in Evony.
at the bottom it said very small play secretly.
to me this is as good as false advertising, what lady do we save and how do i save her?
how can i play secretly?? all the bright colors and the pretty much full screen display will give it away.(thats if i was at work)..
as far as i can see there is no reason for a woman to be on the adverts its stupid! and it really gets on my nerves. theres nothing in the game to do with saving any woman, just the dumb vote for ur queen which started as a gimic also.
dont get me wrong i love women, ive got a little girl myself and im a mature player that spends money. but i just think these adverts that Evony is spending our money on are stupid and look ****e!
i forgot to mention the writing on the ads is in word art as well which makes it look even cheaper! a friend saw one of the new adds and said to me isnt that the game ur playing at mo..?? i was too embarrest to answer!
youve got a forum full of people all you need to do is find someone with a nice avatar and ask them to create a nice ad in exchange for Evony cents, or even have a forum only for creating ads then post em in and if they get choose then the person gets cents.. or something like that..

I don't think any ladies have talked about this so I'll take a stab. I play two online games. The other also has me rolling my eyes over some of the graphics; especially armor choices. But the difference is I don't mind letting people know I play "that" game. Evony, on the other hand, yeah, I keep the fact I play this game very quiet. Along the lines of post #12 which had me roflol! Added into the fact that I would not be surprised at any time to see the game gone so why would I invite people to it?
Yes, I might need some therapy as to why I am still playing, but I've met some nice people here and none of them wear DD's! Until the game has some major issues cleared up (including the ads) I'm not spreading the word about (shhh).
Honestly I do. I can't stand marketting/advertising in general and their need to push things so deep down your throat.
The ones that really get me super agitated are the TRUTH commercials. I can't stand them. And I'm not even a smoker! I tell you what, I want to start a campaign that everytime I do see a TRUTH commercial, I'm going to light one up.
There campaigns working, bad thing is I have roughly 15-25 other people within 10 miles on EVERY server I use
kempion gets owned so hard and so fast when he comes here its so funny to watch him grasp for straws in all of his "arguments"
Well, at risk of offending some of our lady players, they could always put boobies on the wheel :)
Seriously though, it took a full week of seeing the earlier ads around the place before I clicked one.
I was expecting to find some kind of MMOFRPG at the other end, not a variation of the old play by mail war game (for lack of a better term).
Good thing for Civony, I don't mind the play by mail types of game.
Still, it does illustrate the point that at least one person seems to be missing, advertising should at least be indicative of what the actual end product really is. Otherwise it's nothing more than false advertising...
I dunno Sdog. Given the Evony to reality exchange matrix, would you really want to put up with that much shyte for your 'reedemable funny money'?
I have no need to grasp. There has yet to be a valid point made against my point.
Dude, you know what's funny? This is a great marketing ploy. I mean if Evony did have like fast delivery services like Dominos or a chinese franchise (come on all us online players eat the same. We want it fast, and we want to be able to eat it above your keyboards) at the click of a button within the game, I bet people would use it!
Especially if you got like cents back lol.

shoop alert
easiest way to tell is because the Evony logo is all wrong
fission mailed
holy crap thats hot i dont know whether to masterbate or sign up for evony
I believe to speak for everyone when i say
''What the hell.''
And the down hill trip continues. We all know Civony was a rip off of Civ. Well, I did a google image search for more Evony ads(filter off of course) and it turns out that Evony is the name of a p0rn0 magazine. I think that explains it all.
Evony just wants to bring in new people to spend money until they learn what the game is about and then they are as disposable as us =\
112 posts discussing Evony advertising.
It worked.
112 Posts making fun of something doesn't mean the advertising worked - it just means we think it's hilarious in a pathetic "They couldn't possibly be this dumb.... Oh, yes they are" sort of way.
If you could say that these advertisements brought in 112 new customers that would stick around and buy Cents, then, yeah, then you could claim the advertising worked.
Besides, half of those posts were used to shut up Kempion, so those shouldn't count.
Oh this is bizarre! Here I was searching the web for other comments on the advertising and found one guy gets in trouble with the ad http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/421791 and what ad is showing to the right!!!??? You guessed it , an Evony ad *falls off chair*
