New ad

Looks like they are taking the "Sex Sells" idea very literal now.

None DnD type appearance but LOTS of cleavage and the words "start your journey now My Lord."


ahhhh.... the journeys I am thinking of....... mountains, valleys, bushlands.... adventure of the highest kind....

I love the fact that they hide what the advertisment is for in the upper left corner, barely visible. But now they are doing away with even a medival theme and going straight to the satin & lace.

On the other hand, you have to commend them. At the start of this thread, people were making fun of the bad unrealistic graphics. But this new ad... they look she looks quite real.

I'm just glad Evony ads have moved past the uncanny valley.



Yeah I'm letting that one hang out there.

They also had an improvement on the models they used. The first one looked like a horse and this current one looks like a stipper. Sadly, they still need to up the resolution a bit.

I'm reminded of the lyric, "Mountain high, valley low."

Why, I have no idea.

Anyone want to photoshop an Evony ad over these boobies?

dancing-blue-footed-boobies-pictures photos & pics

Or maybe over images of Parus Major (common name would be censored)

Seriously? That's an actual ad, not a photoshop? ....*starts trying to saying something, but then figures it's not worth it*.....

Ah well, much as a I appreciate the beautiful display of the female form, I'm more of a leg guy. So unless they start putting out miniskirt ads, it's clear this game is not meant for me.

Some Hiver ought to compile the various Evony ads to ask Goldmoon about them when she pops back up...

I haven't seen that exact one myself, but its font and brown...er..."clothing" matches the banner ad (rotated 90degrees) that..."popped up" at the top of my screen before I clicked on the "New Reply" button.

I was cranky when I was reading through this, 'cause all I had was something with a polar bear (yeah, that's exciting), but it looks like the ad finally popped up. And yeah, it's nothing but pure sex appeal.

Meh, what good are they without a pretty face?

And these ads don't say "Look, hot babes!" to me, more like, "This game sucks, so we got to pimp it with with TNA!"

I feel guilty every time someone walks past my computer while I'm reading ENworld.

These Evony ads are bordering pretty close on being NSFW. It's really sort of irritating.

You are not the only person who I heard complain about that.
