On the subject of the ads, I saw ads for evony a long time ago, and they were actually the only reason I didn't start playing. I play a lot of MMOs and web based games, and if it wasnt for the fact that a friend started playing this and mentioned it to me, I still wouldnt have played, purely because of the ads. As a gamer, surely I am part of the primary target group, and the ads actually put me off!

As for the "Come play my lord" ads, they dont even say Evony, so I avoid those like the plague assuming they link to dodgy **** sites...
