ZOMBIE CANNONBALL OF GORE

Turns out they’re evil: http://www.bruceongames.com/2009/09/14/evony-libel-me/

http://www.bruceongames.com/2009/07/15/more-about-evony/

and the one that started it all: http://www.bruceongames.com/2009/07/10/dont-play-evony/

If you don’t feel like reading it, here’s the gist.

Evony is likely a front for a chinese gold farming company. Their game is very buggy. They make most of their money off of selling in-game items, much the same way that say Habbo or Maple Story does. They’re well known for their sexy, spammy, cheaply made ads featuring images of models shopped out of costume catalogs. Now they’re suing Bruce Everiss, an Australian game marketer, because he wrote a bunch of negative articles about them.

And to top it off, they recently added a special “utility” that you have to download and install which “is an application that you download into your PC to invite your friends to join the game in exchange for in game rewards. This could very well be a Trojan designed to harvest email addresses messenger pbumwords and much else. Would you trust a Chinese gold farmer inside your computer? Many gullible people are.”

Right from the moment when I saw Saw, I laughed.

So this is a game that claims to be free, but once they reel you in you actually have to pay for certain parts of it? The nerve of some people… I’m sure once JB and ET find out about this they’ll be appalled and remove all the ads from this site.

no, it’s a bit different. FWZ doesn’t, strictly speaking, require payment for a good chunk of game functionality. It’s also generally functional. Evony, these articles contend, is not generally functional. It also requires payment for basic game functions, like sending messages to other players. That would be a bit like FWZ charging people per tubmail.

Would you like to send a tubmail to Evil Trout? It will cost you 2 bp(0 left) It seems you don’t have enough bp, buy more here!

So, you want CZ to drop Evony’s ads because you found one guy with a seemingly obscure blog who made five posts about how they’re evil? Are there any articles in mainstream game magazines about them?

Considering those magazines generally come out once a month, I doubt you’ll see any articles in them for at least that period of time.

What? Unless Evony has been out for less than a month (and I have no idea, never heard of it), how is that relevant?

This. Also, Google has plenty of info about Evony and its bull****. If those aren’t enough, seek help about the trust issues.Log in to see images!

Hahhaa, Evony blatantly copied other people’s games, advertises with porn models that have nothing to do with the game (it has terrible, dated graphics), is genuinely made by gold farmers and designed to make as much profit as possible, and has been out a lot longer than a month. It’s strange you haven’t heard about it. The ads are everywhere.

I don’t care about ads or not, because if you don’t use adblock you kind of deserve what you get (viruses and scams).

I’m talking about the problems with Evony, which, if thread is to be believed, are just being examined by the media.
