Lots of people are leaving Evony now. Some were banned for botting, some got fed up with the lack of customer care and others didn’t like the interminable farming necessary.
Mostly they have moved to the many similar browser games. Current favourite is War of Legends, mainly because it is published in the UK and has good customer service and no endless farming.

I have written a couple of articles about how the online evidence about Evony that I need to defend my case is being deleted by someone.

@Bruceongames

Large scam companies like that tend to have a reaction like that against people trying to reveal their true nature in such a way.

I mean seriously, this is stupid.
Maybe if they didn’t have such shitty advertising I would give their game a go, but now f*** it.

I mean look at their latest advertisement:

If you are wondering why this advertising works, search online for “classical conditioning.”

Apparently the web game is a sideline. Their main business is gold-farming mills in China. The idea of appropriating Madonna's likeness to sell their gold, even from China, is a spectacularly bad one.
