Thread: why do we need more advertising with "Evony Queen"?

Hybrid View

  1. #1

    Thumbs down 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

    Totally agree with this. They want somebody to allow their photograph to be manipulated and used for advertising, and all they're offering are some game cents. I would have bought game cents, but $30 US (And I'm Aussie so that's $60 for me) for 300 game cents is beyond ridiculous. They should use some advertising panels, like you suggested. This "Evony Queen" thing is crap. Girls who play this game are geek girls who are coming here to escape from a world that is trying to turn them into barbie dolls all the time. Don't betray us like that.

    That sort of statement is a bit insane and more than a bit disturbing.

    Are there geek girl convents or something in your insane world? I have known what some would consider "geek girls" they are also what I would consider "normal people", I hope I never meet the type of lunatics you are talking about.

    First off, who said you had to spend $30.00? There is nothing making you spend that kind of cash. Second, if a geek girl wants to dress up and be called "Your Highness", let her. We do it all the time in the real world. You get dressed in a uniform, suit or whatever and are called things like Mr., Ms., Sir or Ma'am. These are titles.

    Evony offers a chance to buy stuff, it's their game, they set the prices. Sure I'd love to grab 4 or 5k coins and go wild, but I can't, so I don't. I don't see a mod or an admin telling me to pay up or be deleted.

    I like the idea of having the players be involved. It gives us a sense that maybe we are part of something big. There are players from around the world here, not just the US, Canada or Western Europe. So far in my alliance Singapore, Australia and Brazil are represented.

    To all the ladies who are wanting to participate, more power to you and LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

    Sorry, I was under the impression that was the minimum spend. I stand corrected I guess.

    Initially I thought that you bringing aesthetics into this was a non-sequitur, but reading her(I assume "her") post, now I'm entertaining the thought that her point was "All Girl gamers are dogs". I find this possibility thoroughly amusing.

    Edit: And on an unrelated note the exchange rate is also a lot better than 2.0. 30USD is probably less than 45AUD at the moment.

    Were you talking about me? I certainly was not implying that girl gamers are physically unattractive! I was only saying that perhaps we enjoy having a space where we can compete on the basis of other skills. Do other girls not agree? Actually, it's not the dressing up as a princess bit that annoys me so much, just the total lack of ownership of your picture once you submit it.
    I received a message saying I had insulted you. I'm sorry if you felt that way, but I was not the one telling anyone else they were "Crazy" and "disturbing". And even *I* wasn't insulted, because I see no reason for you to feel that way about someone you don't know, based off of one sentence.
