    Actually, if they did use ads with half-naked men, the male players would be up in arms. They'd be like, "WTF?! We're not gay! Change that!" (Not that there's anything wrong with being gay.)

    In any case, here's one ad Evony could use. Now please excuse me while I purge my hard drive. I was not happy making this one:


    RETIRED FROM EVONY
    In short, the carebears won the battle for Civony. Behold their chubby rainbow bellies and tremble, for they lost every single battle, but sure as heck won the war.

    Be even worse if your daughter walked in.

    "Daddy? That's not mommy. MOMMY!"

    There's a nice long conversation that will lead to a complex for her.

    I'm going to have to say that I agree with this.... the original ad that I saw for this game was the "Save the Queen" ad, which to me was not so bad...

    However, now that I am an active player, to see ads like this make me wonder exactly what type of game this company is trying to market here.

    Imagine if I had no knowledge of this game at all, and I see and add like this, my first response may very well be "Ok, she's cute, and has my attention" ( Thats not so bad, right? lol) but after reading the tag line "Save your lover" I would lose all interest. Save your lover.....wtf?

    That response would only be ten times worse if I started sending these types of adds to people on my contact list. Some people just dont get this game to begin with, but having to try and explain why there is a half naked woman next to the register page is lame...

    Protest by not playing.....wtf would that make ANY type of sense... This is what a game forum is for, to talk with other players of the same game... as far as I am concerned, devs/mods would be wise to at least read some of these posts (especially since this thread is pretty clear on its topic, not watered down with OMG LOLZZZZZZZZZ responses) to get a better idea of who their players are.

    I agree, kudos to the OP

    Ah, Demonhero has requested for my input on this matter.

    I find the Evony browser game advertisements as an attempt to attract players as a misleading label that is irrelevant to the gameplay. It conveys a sense of meretricious beauty and due to such petty advertisements could generally be seen as a vulgar representation of false beauty, inflame the senses to lascivious passions and slavish desires as many users would be attracted to the Evony browser game solely due to the unimpressive images.
    In addition, such a display of physical appearances renders the target audience as vulgar and subservient for falling prey to such advertisements. Thus, it is possible that such a series of advertisements are degrading the virtues and morality of the general population as a whole.

    [Though I stated in my entry to a philosophy essay contest that humanity as a whole is repressed in their display of autonomy, afflicted with upheavals and turmoil of the soul and prone to pestilential ambitions that corrode even the most pure of social relations such as the family structure, humanity can rise up through apolaustics or a dedication to aesthetic beauty such as poetry, art, music, writing, etc. Thus, I take the Hobbesian viewpoint intially but I temper it with Schiller's aesthetic philosophy.]

    I respect the Evony Administration team, the Evony representatives and the Evony Community moderators, however, they should concentrate on the historical inaccuracies rather than on such form of advertisements. For example, the descriptions on the cataphract unit type is filled with historical inaccuracies. As a student of Greek and Roman history, as a undergraduate college major in Byzantine studies/history, it would be a better idea to create a more historically accurate browser game that is tempered with playability factors and gameplay mechanics.

    [I applied for the Evony position of history researcher; if I get accepted I will be dedicated to the providing of historical accuracy to the units, technology points, general history, etc.]

    *waves hand*
    I'd like to be a vocal "womanfolk" in the discussion.
    I also believe that these ads are ridiculous.
    I know plenty of females that play on this site, and I've got to say that a modern "come-hither" woman in lingerie is not going to attract me to any website, and it ESPECIALLY won't make my mind go to a medieval gaming site like I know Evony to be.

    I hope they get some new graphics&&ad producers soon, because I am actually ashamed to invite people now.
