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.
Actually I am pretty much in charge of advertising and marketing for my company- I know how much ads cost and all about ROI.
I also know that it is much more cost effective to keep the customers you have happy than it is to go find new ones, and I understand the value of having a good brand image. Two things that Evony seems to have no clue about.
Evony may be A business, but it is not the way business with half a brain is ran.
