Today i noticed a new add from Evony, and i attached it, this time it is 2 girls with only their underwear, personally im not complaining but im starting to see these adds on every site even TGC from google adds.

Other adds include:

More naked each time lol.
I think they completely lost the point of mentioning the game.
I wonder what the next one will be??

Sex sells. If you don't like naked women, get an adblocker.

lol, looking at half naked women was not my point, the point was how inappropriate it is. Especially since the adds are floating on many different sites, including this one.

edit

Especially since there isnt even girls or reference to girls in the game.

Whatever, those are great. I come to TGC just for the ads now. Anyone complaining is really obscenely lame and I could never hang out near you.

...Edit...
The game seems pretty lame. No bikinis or anything right now, I'm just building cottages. I'll fill you all in...


Download the game!

I have to agree that this is a very serious problem. Seeing women in their underwear to sell a product seems to be confusing many kids these days. If there's a girl on the package, then the product must be good.

What we really should be concerned about, is younger boys starting to fall victim to this propeganda. What happens now when they go into a store to buy clothes? Well, they'll walk right past the men section, and head straight for the outfits and packages with half-naked women on them. At the end of the day, you'll see them walking out of the store in a dress and pantyhose

And all that's left to say is, "Evony Adds gone wrong".

*end of joke*

i really think they should keep to the game, skip the girls, we want to see parts of the GAME
the game have not even a single girl in it
so why is there girls on the ads which is like... NAKED?! (almost)

seriously, its like putting a naked girl on Painkiller (the game) or DOOM...

I agree. That approach has never failed for me.

The game is tremendously lame. I have to wait like, 12 minutes, to levy crippling taxes on my people. And no girls at all. Oh well.

Hmm...that's interesting. I don't think I've ever played those games.

Most likely, they knew the game wouldn't have been able to sell itself.

I've got to say, my mates have been trying to convince me to play Evony for months, but the adverts are becoming more and more convincing. I might just wait another year or so and see what the ads are like then before I actually think about signing up though...

apparently evony is a secret wow gold mining site =S.

[edit]

i bet someone cant count all the times the second vid says .com

[edit 2]

apparently evony installs malware onto your computer, copied runescapes sourcecodes website, runs wowmine.com, and many other things, all mentioned in the second video??

maby this topless women thing to make people play the game has another motive, not only to make them play the game, but to exploit their users?

I just watched both videos. The first was funny, the second showed that Evony is evil. Not because they have women in their ads, but because they're using costume store models and adult film models in their ads without permission.

The part about wow worried me, not because i care for wow but i do care that peoples accounts in a game should not be hacked.

wow, that just proves all evony wants is the money, heck think of all the parody movies of wow,gw,microsoft... wait theres a whole commerical series on microsoft.

seriously that is going too far.

Very interesting youtube video. I'm not surprised at all. Who took those ads seriously? It was pretty obvious from the get go that the game was a scam.

Yeah, I'm sure Evony would love to file another lawsuit against TGC.
