    I've edited out my info it contained in the actual email. No way am I clicking a link in an email I'm not sure about, so if you mods could tell me if this is a legit one or not, I'd be greatful.

    Yeah it seems legit, the links are legit, and they didn't ask you for password information or account info like most phishing emails do. Did you recently register for server 135?

    Compliments of the wonderful Warsimi!

    Yeah. I had just never gotten one on the other servers I played on.
    It's letting me play without going to that link, I'm on it now. I just don't check that game email very often.

    Forgive me for asking, and I'm not being sarcastic, but with all the recent banning/suspensons, I'm not going to wake up in the am and find my acount locked because I didn't click the link..... will I?

    That isn't a redirect link, it's a link to the server with a code for the server software to process activating your account there.

    Looks like Evony is starting to do Email verification which is a good thing as it will cut down on Multi-Accounts because you will now need to use a REAL email address instead of a bogus one. It won't stop Multi's but will stop Flat Fillers at least.

    "People once believed, that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens, that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes the crow could bring that soul back to put the wrong things right"

    Yes, those who spam sites adverts the first couple weeks of a servers life.
