I think they are all jumping on the popular term bandwagon.

An MMO has an expansive world, with expansive character development while Evony is in essence a pvp war game. Now if Evony had little mini games within it and its development expanded outwards instead of upwards, I would start to reconsider.
While some of the kiddies and fan boys will say, 'Smart Marketing', it's as you put it, they jump on the bandwagon of what is percieved as a more succesful type of game (can you blame them when WoW is using 15 mil. players in its ads?).
The downside to this 'dumb' strategy, is that it attracts people who are expecting to see exactly what you've described. Any wonder we have so many single cities that haven't progressed past the first hour of play littering the servers...

Anyone actually seen one of the numerous responses that isn't basically -

"We are aware of the issue. It has been addressed. Please see our other responses that say the same thing. Thread Locked."
I searched, but I might've missed it.

Suggestion - Start putting updates into the official response. Hopefully then we wont see anymore "Paedophiles are attracted by these ads/Won't somebody think of the children!" hysterical topics.

Or better still, give us more things to do in the game/cut down the research & build times so we aren't getting bored with 'playing secretly' and finding something to 'rant' about in the forums.
