A History of Evony Ads – The insanity continues [Updated-Again] Flame On
   August 13th, 2009 clock image 8:00 am

EvonyHeader

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 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

    This is actually a gif, but i’ll post just this one frame, anyways, I’m confused o.o

    http://i37.tinypic.com/64jw9d.jpg

  • Lee

    I am a student studying computer games design at uni and decided to investigate Evony.com.
    Just to see what some of these games are like etc. etc.
    The game is actually kind of cool (found myself addicted and even spent a little money on it).
    But I started to notice HUGE bandwidth use by the site as I played.
    I am not the only one either, there are comments on the evony forums about this.
    This is odd because all of the client info, the animations etc. are all downloaded in one big download at the start.
    There is no streaming media so I began to wonder what was going on.

    To cut a long story short I decided to break the law and reverse engineer Evony’s client.
    Not to cheat. Not to rip them off or even to use even a scrap of the code.
    But just to poke about a bit and find out what was going on, maybe even offer them some ways to improve things.

    Aside from the fact that the whole thing is very poorly constructed (it is really very beginner coder level stuff. Reminds me of a lot of
    what the first year students produce for assignments) it contained some very interesting information.

    Included with the client are 2 peices of tracking software that monitor your web use and which applications you have open while the client is running.
    These do not install independently on the machine though due to the limitations of flash and do not actually damage anything.
    But they harvest massive volumes of information. My firewall was blocking a lot of outgoing transmissions and it turns out that these
    were the data trying to be sent out. So they know nothing about me. lol.
    However there is a LOT of data coming IN over the ports the client uses. In otherwords it is downloading something into my cache for use later.
    I have bandiwdth restriction which slows these types of tricks down and I completely clear my cache every couple of hours if I am heavily using the net.

    I also noticed that all the varanbles etc. are named Civony still and that there are multiple references to UMGE.
    Even a couple of folders are simply called UMGE, one of these folders contains one of the spyware programs.
    So I can only guess at where the data would end up if I didnt have a good firewall.

    There are also commented out sections in the code which contain references to UMGE and Lam himself, though low on details.

    Thank you for reading this.

    • Poliuy

      two words: thank you

      • http://stejosaurus.webs.com stejosaurus

        Jeeze, glad to have people like you. I also played Evony when It first came out as Civony, and it was addictive, a nice replacement to travian, which went down after i was a long term member. I started getting the original Frame 1 and 2 ads on my own personal site, and at first didn’t see anything wrong, but once the prerogative ads started coming out I had to have a nice lengthy chat with the admins of webs.com to make sure that the ads were removed from my page. It’s not appropriate to for the younger members of my site to have to see such things. They mainly come from the game Mydinos.com, and go from seeing cartoon dinosaurs, to half naked, and even topless women on my page not only sets a bad reputation for me, but for the users of mydinos. Simply put, it gets to a level of disgust when games push the issue in a desperate cry for attention.. it’s like a 14 year old girl, who either cries and cuts herself, or goes around with the football team around her arms.

        Evony is officially the corner girl of the internet world. Shame sex appeal had to be used on a game that has literally no reference at all.

    • not surprised

      This doesn’t surprise me. About a week after no longer playing Evony (due to how slow it made my computer), my computer “died” of what I think is a virus. I can still start it on safe mode and use it properly, but I will have to format the whole thing for it to ever work properly again.

      Are they connected? I don’t know, but it really wouldn’t surprise me as I never had any problems before playing Evony.

  • Vedith

    I am so tired of these freaking ads! It’s trash. Can’t they think of some better and less degrading way to sell their crappy game? I’m so tired of seeing women treated as sexual objects. It makes me fucking sick. :sick:

    • Jeebus Crepes!

      Oh get over it you prude, the women signed up for the pictures AND the ads. One of the models even links to the pictures from her own site stating HERSELF that they were ads for EVONY.

      Get off your prudish high horse and get a dick will you? Just like saying “porn degrades women” WTFever… These women sign up for it, and if that is not good reason enough then you simply fail at empowering females because you would be claiming they are too weak minded to make their own decisions, so go crawl under the rock you came from ugly.

    seriously. evony doesn’t even HAVE anything CLOSE to these naked girls.
    it was only good in the first week, too. now it’s a grind. worse than runescape
    far worse than maplestory

  • zorkon

    Wow… I’ve seen all of these ads around… over a thousand times. I play a flash game, it’s there. I check my email, it’s on the sidebar. I chat with my friends, it pops up. I read an article on miley cyrus… (don’t judge!) it’s there. The worst (or best) part is, even when you do moderate safe search for google and others, they still show up because it’s not technically porn. I don’t know if i love it, or hate it… EH!!! :angel: :devil: :pirate: :ninja: :sick:

  • Abby

    This seriously makes me not want to play it anymore. And it’s embarrassing when I try to log on to Evony and my mom or little sister is here and they get to see some slut’s boobs. It’s disgusting.

    I play Evony/Civony and it is really addictive but when someone I know was disgusted by me playing Evony/Civony I really wondered why but I started looking around today and I see why: Hot girls from porn sites. I’ve got to admit they are hot and pretty, it was terrible for such a awesome game to do such terrible things like this. Also I heard from certain contacts (would be sued if named) told me that they are about to raise a contract with the website: “http://www.naughtyallie.com” .
    (Hot girls who would never thought to be advertising for amtuer strategy games.)

  • nick

    i have always seen these adds if i want to see naked chicks ill just go on the internet , i always knew this game was dodgey , they should be taken down somehow since game is spyware im pretty sure its illegal some iphone apps were harvesting phone numbers and there in deep shit.

    but I think there are at least 2 more ads missing from the list.

    I HATE THE EVONY ADS!
    I do not stand alone in the protest of these racy advertisements.
    It is unacceptable to post these half naked women, touching themselves, in nothing but a bra. I know that you didn’t make these ads, but I request that you stop supporting the Evony company.
    Their marketing tactics are violating my rights as a woman!
    They make me feel like I am an object.
    They exploit women’s bodies as nothing but a ploy!
    You are decorating your site with porno adverts. These women are touching themselves, and this has NOTHING to do with the game. Evony doesn’t feature any princesses, damsels to be saved, or ‘discrete’ sexual entertainment.
    Until you refuse to approve of this corrupt, degrading, objectifying, sexist advertisements I will stop visiting your website. :angry:

    • coolest

      No one gives a shit we like sexy woman and its not like u’re doing the ad so fark off.

      Instead of crying over web adverts, you could get off your computer and try to make a ‘real’ change.

    • http://www.lazygamer.co.za LazySAGamer

      I actually missed this comment before.

      Honestly I see nothing wrong with women being models and making a good living from doing adverts like this. I do not pretend to judge them or dictate my morals upon them.

      They also cannot violate your rights as a woman, you are not being forced to model wearing nothing but bra’s.

      You are also not a regular visitor so your threat to never return is baseless… but seeing as your email is also false I just ranted to myself..

      See who’s the fool now :blush:

      And now we can get back to our regular programming

    I read somthing else like this before about some guy gathering information up about evony to sue them. The ads have been pupblished without the girls being notifed about it. They stole it our the web or somthing like that.

    I played this game for over 4 months closer to 5 months in total, I reached it’s peaks that it allows one to reach without wasting real cash on it, and I recently quit it…
    my opinion and impression is that it’s a very addictive game, it makes you want to reach the targets of becoming strong which can take around 2 or 3 months depending on the time you spend playing it only in the end when you do become strong to get very boring and mechanical and everyone who has a clear head realizes that it’s a complete waste of time therefore they quit!
    The game itself advertises that they have over 15 Million registered users scattered in over 130 servers (each server they boast has over 100 000 players) but the truth is that they dont have more than 300 000 from all over the world who play it actively and they are scattered throughout those 130 servers.
    the good points of the game in my opinion is meeting people making new friends but beyond that it’s a failiure in both graphics as well as the game (you basically will never see any fighting going on it’s just imaginary and that’s what makes it addictive). As for the adds portraying girls with cleavage begging you to register in order to save them the closest you will ever get to seeing one in the game is comparable with chances of going to the moon without a space shuttle, so you judge it for yourself! :angel:

  • LuckySoB

    I did play this stupid game last year(it was still called Civony). I sheer irony of it all was that I met a beautiful girl while online. I figure I won the game! I saved my lover! :whistle:
    The actual game itself is a cheap chinese :pirate: ripoff of some real games made by real developers with real lawyers looking for some UMGE blood. :silly:
