I miss that ad. That girl is hot, and flower wreath crowns always do it for me.

I was pretty sure they were. Ironically, the first Evony ad had some male knight in full armor. At least it think it was a male, since he had this bigass helmet on. All the other ads go for sex appeal it seems. The very first ad for Civony had that woman in the robe that was nearly completely open at the front. I snarked on it here:

It's all because of the Cleavage Law of Gaming: the amount of bare female skin used to promote the product is inversely proportional to the quality of said product.

Two words: Perfect World. You know the sidebar ad with that hot brunette wearing the ridiculous and utterly useless stripperiffic armor? It's utterly asinine, but it still gets my attention.
An how amusing, as I was typing out this response every single sidebar ad was some variation of this ad. Evony certainly paid to pimp their game, no?

As a tangent about stripperiffic armor, I was watching a cop/reality show the other day and in it, the women were being measured and fitted for new, more comfortable body armor.
Now, it didn't feature a target pattern on "the twins" or anything like that, but it was clearly more curvaceous than the body armor for the guys. I mean, it makes sense- if you take up more room, you'll need more room.

That's sensible armor. "Stripperiffic" is stupid crap like chainmail bikinis, breast plates, metal thongs, that sort of nonsense. You know the stuff we've been arguing about for like the last 6 months over in the General forum.

They've been running those ads for about the last two weeks at least. There's a couple of different angles with Our Queen in Peril in different poses, different amounts of rips in and blood on her dress, and at least one or two with her hands tied.

I liked it. I'd rather see more of that than the boring CG Queen. Ooh, looks like I finally got a banner version of that one.
And I'm STILL getting lots of Evony ads as I rip on it.

For reasons unknown (perhaps 2 reasons) I am reminded of this NWN ad:

Yeah, but NWN is actually a pretty damn good game. And didn't they use that ad in Maxim or something?

Those hands don't look right, the fingers are too short, it's bugging me. And yeah, that's the thing I walk away with from that pic. A critique of the hands. NICE ad, though.

Now the "Save your Lover" ad makes me think of the immortal words of Paul Simon in his classic song, "50 Ways to Leave your Lover"... altered below...
