Why does Evony's ads all say Save the Queen when a) the queen doesn't exist and b) if they elect one why should people protect her when she probably won't be on the server they're on?

Strategic advertising to specific demographics.
It's a retarded ad campaign.
If Evony just said "We're an MMORTS," they'd have more players than they'd know what to do with.
But instead, they're using some idiot ad agency that doesn't know anything about gaming to come up with a completely stupid ad campaign that has nothing to do with the actual game. If you looked at just the ads, you'd think Evony was an MMORPG or something.
I gotta disagree with you here buddy. I still remember my first day in Evony (civony), I clicked in through an ad NOT suggesting that you molest a queen, and started up fresh and new as everyone else. Over the next hour or so my chatbox was filled to the brim with
"Wheres that hot chick?" "How do you find the hot chick in the ad?" "I wanna do that chick where is she?" "I don't see the chick" etc.
Server 2 continued to be populated, but I know tons of people who admitted they joined up just cuz they saw a hot chick with boobies and wanted in (that was the original when they stole the chick from a clothing advertisement LOL).
Sex sells. It doesn't seem to be working as well at KEEPING people anymore though, as servers populate and depopulate just as quickly. Having a new server every day doesnt help much either.
I just like how instead of "save the queen" it has become "save your lover"

I agree with Pokey. And it is true. The first day I joined Civony all I heard of on world chat was people asking where they could get the hot chick, and how they could find cheats. Lol. It was ridiculous. I wonder how many people joined JUST because they saw a beautiful animated woman on one of the adds? I bet more than the ones that joined for the game itself. But I guess it got people to play, so it worked.
Flying is simple! You just throw yourself at the ground and miss!!
I have to admit... it worked on me. I think mostly it was just the graphics of the ad that stood out (I know I'm trying to back peddle now). But really the game wouldn't of kept me. What kept me was how refined everything was, it felt like a seperate software piece altogether.
Most of the browser games I experienced before was like these static web pages that would jump from one to the other. They really sucked!

I joined from the warrior ad because I thought it looked bad ass but then quickly quit because it was too damn confusing. It wasn't until I was stricken with disease did I actually get into evony.
In conclusion, I think the new ad should have two lesbians in white shirts with water on them making out with a warrior slicing some guy's head off saying, "Evony, it kicks ass"
I got into Evony through a friend of mine that had discovered it, back when S2 was fresh out of the oven. I can't recall seeing any ads about the game...then again, I'm immune to ads (don't even glance at them), and AdBlock Plus gets rids of most of them anyway
First thing I noticed about the game...? "Hey those Walls look awfully familiar...Hey, that's the Palisade from AoE2! How cool!"
Of course, things have gone rapidly downhill from there, but that's another Vintage Whine...
Science never sleeps...
