I doubt any of you have ever paid money to advertise something... if you had then you would know that you need to catch people's attention and do it fast or you'll lose your advertising money. These ADs are obviously working. Sex sells.

It may not be the right type of advertising for a game like this but I'm sure if you could make an AD that gets a decent click-through-rate then Evony would use that too. Most people want everything for free (sites like Facebook/Twitter etc.) yet they fail to realize that those sites only survive through advertising revenue. Offer an alternative, make your own ADs, or pay to access every site you visit. This is business.
