A History of Evony Ads – The insanity continues [Updated-Again]

If you have browsed a gaming site on the Internet over the past few months then I can guarantee you have come across the ads for the free online game Evony at some point.

While these ads started quite normally with a request to come and play a free online strategy game we have seen these requests degenerate into something pretty extraordinary since then.

The latest ad is seriously pushing boundaries of what is acceptable to publish on Google and really it’s just starting to get a little bit embarrassing for the company.

Take a click through to see all the Evony ads I was able to dig up and watch them degenerate into a blatant plea for clicks.

[Update] This story continues to receive a large amount of interest so I will continue to try and keep it updated, feel free to leave links to any new adverts in the comment section

Take 18 (Thanks to Miss Coconut)

Take 19 (Inspired by Avatar)

Take 20 (Obviously not enough flesh in the last one, thanks: SSFF6B)

Take 21 (Obviously that promise about moving away from naked women has failed)

It’s classier but I think we are all looking at the same thing here, thanks to P33Z for the tip

Take 22 (After months of standard ads Evony is starting to make a comeback)

It’s not bad but at the same time it has absolutely nothing to do with the game

Probably the best ad campaign on the internets.

I found these here:

I believe the second link I provided is actually take two.

And I know you’re missing at least one gif that is basically a moving screen of gameplay.

Its ridiculous, but also extremely successful. Look how many players they’ve managed to scrunge up. I played before and during the highly misleading ads, and saw people in the chatroom asking “Where are the chicks” and “Who wants to cyber”. lol

Haha! The “Evony Online” ad campaign is an experiment in the effectiveness of advertising. Where did you think such a crap game would get the funds for hiring B-grade porn stars? The radical changes seen in each consecutive ad are experimental: some get more click over x amount of time and on y sites then others. :devil:

  you dont need funds “to hire b-grade porn stars”
  these are stock photos.. from a monthly pay service.. which means you can sign up for one month… download thousands of photos and be covered for any use of them
  - Asmodeus
    
    My point exactly – It’sexperimental. They have certainly not gained much monetary profit from people who have played “Evony Online”!

the best i have ever seen, its interactive. you can make the parts bigger

I am SO sick of these ads! NOT EVERYONE IS A STRAIGHT MALE AND I HATE SEEING TITS EVERY TIME I GO ON A WEBSITE!!!! Not to meantion how awkward it is when someone looks over your shoulder like “w…t…f are you looking at?”
- sophie
  
  i aggree even though im not a boy i hat seeing this and its embaressing for girls and me!!!! i feel sick now :shocked: :sick: :dizzy: :ermm: :unsure: :wassat:
  - claudia
    
    i agree, it’s hard enough to be a girl and go on gaming sites in general (bc a lot of commenters are immature sexist idiots) but then you see an ad like this and it’s like, this wasn’t written by a 13yo boy, this was made by an actual COMPANY…who must have all agreed that it was ok to take a shit on anyone who’s not a straight male
    - Asmodeus
      
      I’m a straight male with a libido a mile wide, and I still hate these ads – despicable, talentless.
      But it matters not to the company – every click on every ad is added to a comparative database.

The internet IS for porn. People just don’t give a damn about civilization MMORPGs anymore. Where did everything go?

Ah, which reminds me, you could get into several bad situations. If your child, wife, girlfriend walked into the room..
killer face

guess what new advertisement that the ad makers just made says. “click on the body parts to create your ideal woman.” the picture is just a girl with light up breasts. as always. :shocked:

:ninja: I know how to block Evony ads (and other ads) from your browser.
1. Get OpenDNS at http://www.opendns.com/ It’s free.
2. Get Google Chrome at http://www.google.com/chrome It’s also free.
3. In Chrome, right-click next to an Evony ad and click “Inspect Element.”
4. Expand the tag containing the ad (You will know it has the ad because it will turn blue when your mouse is over it). Keep expanding the tags until you find an <embed> or <iframe> tag
5. Copy the “src” for the tag and block it with OpenDNS

I HATE EVONY

I played Evony for 6 months. When the ad was the first one, that ad was fine with me. Then i go and i am on the net checking my email…..and guess what pops up!! A half-naked woman was on the side of my screen with the word EVONY on it! I was sickened. I had posted a link to evony on my site, and i removed it the day after i saw that! I hope evony gets what is coming to them! They should have kept the first ad, but they went WAY too far. it is so sick!! it makes me want to vomit!! evony, i have one thing to say to you, KISS MY ASS YOU JUST LOST A CUSTOMER! :shocked: :angry:
