Evony is xenophobic

[Morgan le Fay]

So you're suggesting we should have a package for:

St David's Day
St Georges's Day
St Andrew's Day

The numerous catholic saints & their days

Oh there's Australia Day
Chinese New Year
Bastille Day
Guy Fawkes

Oh I could go on all day.... but seriously how many of those days outside their native countries does anyone celebrate or even know about.
Evony have got to draw the line somewhere.

I see nothing to really complain about, the main player base of the game is American, so obviously most of the holiday offers will be for something that is actually celebrated there, or well known there. The important thing to remember is that you too can take advantage of these offers, I do not understand why this is actually an issue, it is just a theme for a special offer. If you were to get special offers for every holiday, of every country with any sizeable player base, then there would be no point in them at all.

Firstly, this is not evidence of xenophobia at all.

DoubleM is right about the importance of St Patrick's day. In the US, it is a hugecdeal, the supermarkets sell all kinds of green junk, just like Halloween and St Valentine's day. St Andrew's day is not widely known in the US.

so it was just the irish that were immigrants to America?

every day is a holiday somewhere. you have to pick and choose

I don't get angry that they don't have Waitangi day gifts, or ANZAC day gifts.

This thread is not OT appropro, it's got a liitle taste of evony, a splash of religion and a snifter of whiskey.

I don't know a single gaming company that recognizes every known holiday of every known country or culture in the world. Yet it always feels like Evony's the only one that ever gets flak for doing the same thing every other gaming company does.
