Evony is running a writing contest! What do you guys think? Post discussion on the "Write a Review, Get a Reward!" promotion here! Please note that forum posts do not qualify!
For details on the contest, check out this thread.
When it says "the writers of the best articles will receive the bonus!", does that mean the top ten reviews, or some other top number of reviews? There isn't any indication as to what constitutes excellence, or how many rewards may be given out.
Do you have any more information on this? I am trying to gauge the chances of receiving a reward.
i have noticed most of the major game review sites such as ign, GameFAQs, gamespot, dont have a page for evony. infact ive seen 0 game websites that make reference to evony. this makes it hard to write an effective review, i requested that an evony page be added to GameFAQs.com but i think it would be more effective if the guys at UGME get their game on these major sites.
While i like this idea I would like more information on the location of this Review, for example, Must it be on a big multi milion Gamer site? a Newly made forum? A blog? a hub? publishing can mean many things, but if this is for advertising purposes then im guessing you want it main stage.
Really confused because linking to the articles is against the rules and you'll get warned.
Reason:
-------
Unwanted Advertisements
This is just a warning: It's currently against our forum rules to post or link to outside sites not endorsed by Evony.
In a few weeks we will release a fanpack, and fansites can apply to become endorsed official sites.
Please do not post these links until this happens.
Thank you,
Mike

i would like to say that this is this is the best stratagy game online. i've never in my life thought something that's so realistic game ever to be made into a on going war between two player's or a whole bunch of player's. so i'm proud to be apart of this game and the future that the rate is going. for a while there was hardly anybody playing but now that everybody has seen the advertise ment's on myspace, and on the other site's that this game has been posted on, i just wish this game and the owner who created this game the best of luck on getting this the one of the best top games online to play. it's a realy thrill ride of a game, I still proud of playing this game. so thank you for creating this game, and having so many player's on here.
I have never played a stratagy game like this before what can i say i is the best i like how you can get in an alliance and they can have your back. i also like the fact that you can prodouces troops and make your army unstoppable every if it takes huge amount of lumber, stone, food , and iron. i can say there about to things that can be added to This game like insted of real money all the time u can use gold in the game to buy game cents and i see that it is very hard to get medals maybe it could be a bit easer but even what the these miner things it is still the most dynamite online stratagy game ever
err what is the top number you have to be in to get award
Well i sent them a link to my review, Its not very good though, Ohwell atleast im raising awareness of the game to the world
Please note that forum posts do not qualify. :)
Dawn, can you tell Us may'b how many rewards?
whens the closing date?
will the succesfull reviews get shown in a link by the evony staff?
The question is - if you have to PAY people to review you, are you sure you're doing it right?
People who truly, truly love a game will say good things about it without being paid to do it.
A biased review is really worth nothing - especially when people learn that the review was paid for. When people learn that the great reviews that lured them here were PAID for, and obviously biased, they are going to feel cheated and lied to. Not a great way to build any kind of good reputation, IMHO.
While i understand where your coming from, you have to understand, this is free marketing for Evony and with the ammoun of reviews that will go up now they will recieve alot of players and alot of Money from ingame cent sales which are vital for the success of evony
Easy solution. Post a review on any of those "non-affiliated" Evony.me/EvonyFreeForever/DogsoftheSeas blogs that are out there.
Find one and you've the links to the rest. Post gushing review and go to bed with clear conscience :)
this game is the best strategy game online! I may only have played this game for a week but I haven't played a web game for so long! It's so cool to could produce units, and siege weapons to lay waste to other enemies!! it's hard to describe this game. i like the way that everything is free, and it's easy to begin. people that say that this game isn't good... well... they rewally haven't played this then.
I hope this little tekst will help others to start playing this game, and everyone should help evony get more people!!
Spread the good word about evony to everyone you know!!
I w*uld l*ke t* wr*te * re**ew *b*ut Ev*ny B*t all y*u see* t* s** is t*is*. W*uld b* Ha*d T8 R**d.
I sent in a review.Did I do it for the prize?No evony is a great game and other people should know about it.
What I wonder is how they will decide which reviews are the "best" reviews? Will only those that give glowing reviews receive bonuses? Or will there be a bonus given to someone who gives an honest review about the site, even if it is not 100% positive? Will anyone dare to submit a review that gives Evony less than a 100% positive review?
Do negative reviews count as well? Or is it just all rosey-posey that 'wins' you anything?
My review is already on Page 4 of google.com when searching evony review
personally i think the whole review thing is a joke and most people who will right a good reveiw deep down know the game is ****e.
this would be my review if i wrote one.
evony is a game that has stollen graphics and game play from numerous other games and that after all this time still does not work properly.
the lag on the site is the worst i have ever seen of any internet game.
the game also constantly takes things out of your account such as medals and amulates and men you have building.
thats if you can actually get on it to play.
what ever you do dont spend money there because they do not value their customers and you will get no support or service.
i personally had 22 amulates go missing from my account over 2 weeks ago and after numerous mails and bug reports i have not recieved a thing.
the game is also changed constantly with no warning and the developers of the game dont care. this game is also based in china there for your chances of getting any money back when they rip you off is slim to none and believe me the will rip you off it has happened to heaps of players.
also there are lots of players who have dual accounts in the one server and this is supposed to be not allowed and your account is supposed to be banned but players have admitted to having dual accounts even here in the forums and yet they have not been banned because they spend money which means this sites supports cheating as long as you spend money.
there is so many problems with this game i could go on for ever but you get the idea oh and dont forget ievony the data stealing virus most of you downloaded.my advice to you would be not to play but if you do dont spend money.
now where is my 500 cents.lol
It has to be a "good" review, right?
How honest are the reviews going to be if the reviewers are being paid to write "good" reviews?
Will the reviewers actually ever recieve the 500 game cents?
noone has thus far recieved any reward for voting the "vote for a queen" thing.
I wont write a review unless I can be honest.
I dont think it`s right to pay people to write good reviews about your product.
i would like to say that this is this is the best stratagy game online. i've never in my life thought something that's so realistic game ever to be made into a on going war between two player's or a whole bunch of player's. so i'm proud to be apart of this game and the future that the rate is going. for a while there was hardly anybody playing but now that everybody has seen the advertise ment's on myspace, and on the other site's that this game has been posted on, i just wish this game and the owner who created this game the best of luck on getting this the one of the best top games online to play. it's a realy thrill ride of a game, I still proud of playing this game. so thank you for creating this game, and having so many player's on here.I think it's better runescape and mafia wars on face book.
i have noticed to most of the major game review sites such as ign, GameFAQs, gamespot, dont have a page for evony. infact ive seen 0 game websites that make reference to evony. this makes it hard to write an effective review, i requested that an evony page be added to GameFAQs.com but i think it would be more effective if the guys at UGME get their game on these major sites.

A review by Lord Cheezus on Server 28.
Evony, a medieval, free to play game, first invited itself into my life about a month ago during which I had been browsing the internet and was brought to the recruitment page. At first I was very reluctant to sign up due to the fact that it supported images of a nature of which I was not particularly fond of but I am very glad that I did. When I first went into the game it looked confusing and a bit too much for me to take in but thanks to the quest guide I was helped tremendously. You have you own cities, your own armies and your own buildings of which you control all! I mean, what more could you ask for? The way that the in game time is in real time ads to the realism and makes you feel that much more a part of the game. There are 3 ways in which you can observe your city by clicking the tabs at the top; town, city and map. The town tab allows you to look at the area in which you build buildings, such as an academy where you construct research, cottages where you house your population, barracks where you train your army and of course the domination town hall which is the heart of your city. The city tab allows you to view the area where you build resource gathering buildings such as farms, sawmills etc. and these allow you to build more buildings or allow you to sell them in the marketplace for gold, which you use for research. The map tab shows your city on a map of the area you are in within a 3 mile radius: as you upgrade your town hall, you can make your city look like a unguarded wreck, a moderately safe city, a well defended palace or a mighty kingdom which will bring fear to your opponents! There is also a system, of alliances in Evony which is a group of players that are basically are your in game family; they can help you by giving you resources, some knowledge or some of their army to help protect your beloved city. Of course, whether in your alliance, or by yourself, you fight to become the top player, and this is determined by you prestige. Prestige is earned by defeating other cities, by building or by researching and can determine whether you’re in the bottom 100 or the top 10! In my, and many other opinion, Evony has made this game great with its amazing features and real like game play and it truly is the best web browser game. As they say, your city is awaiting.

A full review on all aspects of the game.
Short description:
Heroes, buildings and scientific research with one mans opinion...
My review is done, written on a popular article hosting website, also i dugg the article and posted a link to the article on facebook. my review focused on the playability, the aspect thats its easy to play on any type of computer in any browser. Also focused on the appeal of the game to casual and hardcore players. It touched on the robust economy and combat.
Ive sent my email with links to my review, player name and server. My review should show up on google search when searching for "evony player review".
hey, i recently started up a new city on a brand new server (Server 58), and this was after i published a review for the game on "viewpoint.com" (http://www.viewpoints.com/In-Browser...st_posted=true). is there anyway that i could get the reward cents on my new character?
josh
*note: i used a different email to create the new account for sever 58 than the one i submitted for the contest.
Can members please send there submissions to PR@evony.com following the rules please.
I think people are not understanding this correctly.
And please, forum posts do not count!Quote:

i.e. player creates account, selects server and plays. player writes review and in the same account starts a new character after.
would the new character be able to win the reward, since the account was created before the announcement?
sorry, rediculous question i know! just hoping i can get cents on my new guy ^_^
*edit* rad review bob! very detailed
I think this is meant for serious critics not the average player.
2 problems with this:
- 1. serious critics don't play enough or get involved in the game (or any game) enough to use 500 coins
- 2. I have yet to see a legit positive review of Evony so I don't think a real critic is going to give a positive review for a measly 500 cents (or any amount of in game currency)
But for all the people who think this is "unprofessional" to bribe a positive review out of a critic, it's a common tactic, however underhanded. I'm sure everyone has seen a quote from some unknown column writer from some obscure paper saying a movie is "the best film of the summer!" When Roger Ebert says it's "absolutely dreadful from beginning to end."
The producers paid the critic to write the review in much the same manner Evony is paying critics for positive reviews here.
Well, you'd have to resend it with proof that your the one who wrote the review after sending the submission twice. It would be difficult or you could talk to a staff member personally about it.
And thanks, im reading your review now :)
i don't look at this as a bribe, i look at is as a way to help out people who have been providing me with free service, and get a little coin in the process!! i really believe this game has the best graphics for an in game browser, decent servers (despite of the trash talk, this is a reliable game in comparison to the majority of free to play games), and a lot of fun. People don't need to be "professional" to express thier opinion, but a spell check program is definitely in order for most of the reviews ive seen so far!!
just reposted and resubmitted my review, and emailed pr@evon.com with the changes. hope i win!! lemme know what yal think http://usergamereviews.com/viewrevie...atform=6&id=56
*edited
I wrote mine and submitted it. Don't know that anything will come of it, but I had been planning on writing a review of Evony for awhile now.

There it is if you're interested. :)
