    Advertising campaign
    See also: Online advertising#Ethics

    Evony's 2009 online advertising campaign was criticised for featuring what The Guardian called "a string of increasingly racy images." The images depicted females who, as the ad campaign continued, grew further and further unclothed, until the ad was simply a pair of enormous breasts. A running slogan for the campaign was "Save the queen!", although within the game, there is no queen to save.

    One 'Save The Queen' advert featured a woman without a bra or panties lying on the floor with a sword pointed at her breast. It in fact has no nudity in the game though and is quite boring after several seconds. Another advertisement used two ladies with their eyes closed and the motto "Save Your Lover," even though you don't fall in love in the game. This game uses sexy women and large breasts to entice players to join. It said "Play Unnoticeably", despite the fact that Evony does nothing to hide itself from network logs and its URL and cookies will still be present in a web browser's history like any other website.[citation needed]

    Evony was also accused of using spam promotion.
    Copyright issues

    The game and website currently uses graphics from various games including Age of Empires: The Age of Kings and Age of Mythology as well as descriptions copied directly from Sid Meier's Civilization III and Civilization IV, as well as from other Mods and Wikipedia.

    During the ongoing advertising campaign a particular advert featuring a fairy was apparently taken from the website costumecraze.com. The owners were subsequently informed and blogged about this.
    Any of the Game's developers care to comment on this?

    (And this is NOT meant to be an 'attack thread', I'm genuinely curious as to the developers responce/excuses)

    So the devs are going to be like communist China, pretend all the little issues dont exist and just do what they want?

    Dont they want to at least try to deny the claims they've stolen material and that their ad campaigns are invasive and spammy?

    Doesn't the community want to know their responce? After all this time, why wont the developers wake up and smell the questions?
