Evony Ad

[megamania]

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!"

well..... yeah..... but it does still get my attention.

More boobage.

At least this one has a face.

I love the female form, but this is getting ridiculous. I'd prefer some more subtlety.

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.

The first one was one of the worst. Anyone have a screencap of that to show what I mean?

It doesn't even give any idea of what the game is like, it's just a blonde with a lot of cleavage.

The word Evony is barely visible. They are just looking for click-through apparently.

The game is okay. Instead of spending their time on their game, they figure, "Sex sells! We don't no stinkin' R&D."

Also discussed in Meta, BTW. http://www.enworld.org/forum/meta/259228-oh-those-hilarious-evony-ads-new-post.html

Since it is coming from google ads, Morrus can't do much about it. Though if the "rumors" are correct, it might be possible that they are using copyrighted material illegally and could be banned from google ads.

OMG... I knew that fairy costume was familiar! They were selling it at the Halloween store my niece worked at last October.

Evony: most despised game on the web?

It turns out that the site's backers are equally unpopular. Evony is the product of Universal Multiplayer Game Entertainment (UMGE), a developer linked to a Chinese gold-farming operation called WoWMine. That site has also come in for regular criticism, but the real kicker comes with the news that the company's owners are being sued by Microsoft over allegations of click fraud.

Sadly, my brother is playing this.

Although he has said that he point-blank refuses to pay for anything on that game.
