…jeezus… I can’t believe my eyes… you know what, there’s gotta be some way to get you all to some therapy especially you game fag. That’s some really awesome shit you wrote there. Go to Chapters or whatever bookstore, go to the self help section, and shoot yourself with a high caliber pistol.

Had been playing for about 3 months with about 500 US. tied up into the game. Had no problems with it until one day the game locked up on me. I couldn’t get back in. Gave up until the next day and tried signing in. Sure enough after going through my mail I found my password was changed. Kinda funny seeing nobody had my login info. Proceeded to sign in and found everything gone. Both my cities were degraded to nothing. Had almost one completely upgraded city. Nevermind that, all my items were erased. Items I had purchased. Included in that, I don’t receive my autocents either. Totally unimpressed after sending many bug-mails, mails and whatnot to them, haven’t gotten one response from them at all. Nothing. Well they got my money, now they don’t give a damn. Great business…

Been playing evony for about about 9 months on and off and in alliance with some good crew from all over the world and like a lot of people playing the game the credit card has been hit a few times to get the extra goodies and this is where my question begins…i spend money/dollars to buy stuff and if another player who has spent more dollars to level up attacks my city/cities he/she effectively “steals” what i have paid for…bit like me going down the street to the neighbors on a lower income and stealing their car out of their driveway..this is where the game is no longer “FREE”..IT COSTS !!! End of the day it is a war game and i have plundered heaps as well but i have been careful not to smash the target into oblivion unless they have persisted in causing me grief..if it was really “FREE” I wouldn’t have a problem but I don’t like the idea of people losing their hard earned over a game…i know of people who have spent thousands,you only have to watch the reports to see the dollars ticking over and it’s the same names…online gambling ? maybe a game of chess or halo might be good..Bones

This is NOT a free game. if you plan on going into this as though it is a free game, you’re just another sucker taking a hook. They tout the game as free, but many players pay real world cash to basically over power the free players right off the bat. If your looking for a good “Free Game”, don’t spend your time here.
And if you have a gambling problem, don’t spend your time here. It’s got some similar hooks to gambling in ways to get you to buy “Coin’s” so that you can get cooler get powerful faster. Let me put it this way, to be competative, after a month of playing, expect to spend roughly $200.00. That is if you start on a brand new server.

Months ago my best friend first got me to sign up for Evony so that me and him could play the game together. I told him for the longest time I resist clicking on the ads, I was afraid of getting spyware, but he managed to talk to me into signing up. After signing up and downloading the client for the first time, I looked over the interfaces. At first, it did not seem bad as building went by pretty quickly. It also reminded me of OGame in a way, making me like it more. However, when I started to really get more into the game, getting past the newbie guide missions and getting out of protection I started to see the bigger picture, so to say. At that point, it was nothing like OGame, which was enjoyable for me, and became a frustration.

I think one of my biggest concern for the game is how unbalanced it is and remains in that state.

Players with high mines can produce an astronomical amount of resources in a short period of time. Something that I never even noticed the fast universe of OGame. The combat system is severely botched. It has to be when I create a large amount of all sorts of soldiers and defenses and they get wiped out instantly by an army of archers. That is when the game became un-enjoyable, especially for a player like me who only got on for 15 to 20 minutes a day.

The players who got a big boost at the beginning seem to never let up. They only get stronger as they drain the newbies of their resources. Perhaps it would have been wise if they implemented a system where you cannot attack someone so many levels below you? I even suggested that in the Evony forums and got shot down for it by the very same people who are on the first page of the ranks.

Like someone mentioned, the only way you could survive in that game is by kissing ass rather than making friends. No one actually seemed helpful towards me or sympathetic. The staff did not concern themselves with the players as well, unless they told the truth about the horrible game. Then they made sure to silent you. There was no respect from the staff or Evony community.

Worst online game I have ever played.
