    I think the fact that this thread was created says enough. In Age 2 you spam us with "with the release of Age 2....." And the 5 for 250. Why not post a system mail saying. "Greetings Lords and Ladies. Starting tomorow Evony will have an in game pop up with Cent bundles....." Then they will know it was Legit. Also, since clicking on pop ups scares most people. Have a pop up telling us boutt the new bundles. And how they can be found in the "all new Cent Bundles tab" under the Shop. Just a thought for the future. Random pop ups scare me. Cause they're fast!

    I have this to but i never spent any money on this game because iam to young and dont have a Visa/Credit card.. is must be for people that spend "$X money" like Rota said.. or for the players that have spent $0..

    Dawn the reason for asking about the verification is evony is a web based browser game that has appearntly been exploited in the past, so to clarify and make certain this wasnt a "keylogger/virus etc" the thread was posted as there was no notification of such a pop up in the past. Advertisment has been limited to System Mails of speial offers.

    Also out of a 94 player alliance only me and another recieved the offer, which was fishy within its self as the other person has never bought cents but holds "rank" within the alliance.

    So i appreciate All the feedback and the promptness in the replys. Good Luck to all the lords and ladys of evony.

    I am aware that the in-game Flash-based, within the game client, official advertising window popping up (henceforth called "popup" for brevity) is a "plain as day" communication, but like Rota said, the fact that some people received the popup and others did not breeds the suspicion.

    Since I didn't get the popup, the questions I would have are:

    1) Will I ever be offered that, or are some customers just going to get better deals than what I can get?

    2) If some customers are going to receive better deals, and I'm not one of them, then why should I spend money at all?


    To summarize:

    Not everyone received the popup, thus causing panic that the game client may have been hijacked. Since some customers received the popup and others did not, it gives the impression that the company feels some customers are worth more than other customers, by giving them special deals.

    This is how the advertisement campaign fails to communicate with the customer base in an effective manner.

    As of now, I've heard of people that have spent money in the past seeing the popup, as well as people who claim to have not spent money.

    As I pointed out, I have spent money in the past, but have not been presented with this offer. This makes me wonder if certain people are going to just get better deals than other people, which, unless a "membership fee" has been paid by the customers receiving the better deals, doesn't seem appropriate.

    also this advertisement does not make it clear just what we are getting in the process. if i buy game cents in this manner will i still be able to get a happiness chest? Once I click on the pop up will it explain this to me? Or am i locked in....it is presenting coin bundles in sizes that we are not aware of on Age1 and i am not sure if they even have that same size bundles on Age2. So that in itself was enough for me to consider it fraudulent. But since you are assuring us that it is not, then there should be a mass mail sent out explaining the discount.

    it fails to deliver

    click the button and all you get is the original 300 coins - reported to evony but that will take forever

    I just want the option to turn it off, instead of popping up every day.....

    I got the same pop-up, so figured I'd give it a try since I have spent money before, but hadn't in a while. Here's what I got. I DID get the full 425 coins by spending $35. I DID get to send a Vesta's Blessing to another member, and I DID receive a Vesta's Blessing myself. However, when you choose this option you do NOT get an Evony Happiness Package. So.......is this worth it? Maybe to some players it would be worth it, as some people don't want the stuff that comes in the package. To me, it's not worth it. I would have preferred all of the goodies that come in the Happiness package and the chest versus an additional 75 coins. The items you get from both chests are worth WAY more than the additional 75 coins. So, in the future, I'm just going to spend the $30 and get the key and get to open two chests full of items worth more than 75 coins.

    And with that in mind, is there any way to turn the dang thing off??? I'm not going to do it again and want it to go away!
