There's a huge difference between being money hungry and money greedy.. Evony can be money gready at times.. and they certainly don't sell their product for what it's worth. Sure I buy packages here and there.. but I would venture to say for every one package I buy there's 30 others not buying. Suppose they charged 5 bucks instead.. do you think 10 of those 30 might buy one? Where do they stand to make more profit 10 people buying 5 dollar packages or 1 person buying a 30? It's simple math and basic economics, that dept of Evony is failing. Burger King could make the tastiest burgers in the world.. freakin mouth watering.. but would you give them props if they charged 30 bucks for them? Don't even get me started on speakers.. they are just plain dumb and any self repecting alliance uses a forum, instant messenger service, or evoliance to communicate rather than buying speakers.. sure I use speakers but only when I get them on the wheel of misfortune.. NEVER WOULD I BUY THEM.. Am I complaining though? Heck no.. keep it up Evony.. you may stand to loose money by overcharging.. but it makes life easier on ballers like me!![]()
Evony is a business and they are selling a product. They are taking peoples money and when they can not support the product they are charging for, then people have every right to be angry.
In their failed lawsuit against XXXX, Evony claimed to have less than 10 employees.
It is not just 15 minutes, there are people who can't even log on at all. The other day I was unable to log on for close to 5 hours.
It is expected for there to be bugs once a game is first released. Evony decided to release Age 2 with known bugs that were in the beta. The beta was filled with bugs and exploits that should have been addressed prior to them going live and taking people's money.
I am giving Evony props for rushing an unfinished bug ridden game and getting people to pay for it. They did an excellent job of fooling people into thinking they actually are going to sell you something that works.
Once again Evony is a business. We as customers don't need to pat them on the back and say "it's ok, at least you tried hard." The developers will listen to us when we all walk away and stop spending our money on a broken product.
Why do you ask are they working so tirelessly to give to fix this game and hash out all the bugs? It is to keep us around so we still keep spending our money. Right now there aren't many people interested in playing Age 2 or spending money on it.
Holy cow jobu55!!! You mean you shouldn't give props to a company that realeases a product to customers without working all of the glitches out of it first? Dang I better tell my buddy who wrecked his Toyota a few months back cause of a stuck accelerator and got jacked on the insurance to stop giving Toyota props... <--- sarcasm...lmao nice post
You just don't seem to get it do you? Why don't you search the internet and look around for information on Evony and it's history.
Now, I guess I need to explain to you how Evony works as a business. Since they are not charging you a subscription fee, they are trying to bring you in and market this to you as a free game. Once you start playing their hope is that you spend money.
To i amdrama this tread is to give evony a break not criticize what they do. read the topic line before you bash. And i know they hope for you to spend money THEY HAVE TO LIVE TOO but i will also say this do they ever force you to buy anything to play envoy. Simply putting some offers down does not mean they are forcing you to buy stuff. I WILL SAY AGAIN THIS IS A THREAD TO GIVE PROPS not to bash. We have enough bashing all around the forum.

Is it me? or has anyone else noticed that people are not getting banned/suspended for being anti evony as much as they used to.. Maybe it is because they have bigger issues to deal with now than the forums.. Maybe they are more focused on getting Google back in than censoring these forums? Hmm just a thought. But then again AGE I is still being ignored. Oh wait! Lets try and stop the toilet from going clockwise ( counter for those aussies out there) and ignore the core group that helped start all this.. </>
