What the hell is the deal with Evony?!

[The Political Gamer]

*Looks at Evony loading up in one of his tabs*

Well, based on this [http://www.lazygamer.co.za/general-news/a-history-of-evony-ads-the-insanity-continues] it seems that, as time went on, Evony had to resort to more desperate means of brining in new players, and as the famous saying goes: "When all else fails, try porn."

Give it a year and it will be full on nudity.

There was a thread exactly like this a while ago. It was made by a female escapist. Apparently her teacher saw the ad and accused her of watching porn. It was quite hilarious.

 

[Numb1lp]

Yeah, it really isn't that much fun.

 

[CrimsonRegret]

pretty sad

 

[VanityGirl]

LOL, i had one on youtube the other day.
I had to screeen shot that *****. Hahaha.

Spoiler: Boobies

 

[Bloody Crimson]

Those ads are so annoying I want to beat the webpage to death with a wooden spoon. I see it, and I think "uuuuhhhhhh--no. Not now, not ever."

 

[Canadamus Prime]

The appealing to gamers who are all hormones and no brains, so pretty much teenagers etc.

Firefox+adbockplus=no more evony ads.

EDIT: I had never even heard of Evony until I came to the Escapist and started seeing threads about their advertisements, because I've been using ad block+ for a couple of years now so I normally don't even see their stupid ads.

EDIT (again):

I think its a real let down.

It looks like some kind of free porn, and then u go on the website and its an MMORTS.

What the fuck?

Hey at least we know the ad worked on one guy.

Evony: 1
TheGreatCoolEnergy: 0

I was going to click on the ad just to see what it was about, but I was afraid my hard drives would becomes massive breasts and slump out of the casing. I'm just glad they don't have any horrible audio cues like those godawful smiley ads. It's probably the sound of horses neighing and a woman having an orgasm

LOL, i had one on youtube the other day.
I had to screeen shot that *****. Hahaha.

Spoiler: Boobies

you know what I'm pathetic. I didn't notice the boobs first I noticed the AC 2 trailer first...

*sobs*

First thing to pop to my eyes...

Spoiler

god damn I can't wait 'till the PC release...

 

[un533n]

How many times do you have to see side boobs in advertisements to take the bait (lolpun) and go watch porn?

 

[MaskedMori]

I don't think I've ever seen an "Evoney" add.

LOL, i had one on youtube the other day.
I had to screeen shot that *****. Hahaha.

Spoiler: Boobies

But if it looks like this I probably would have thought it was for some kind of colone. -,-

 

[Baldry]

Examine the advertisements. What do you see in all of them?

If you guess breasts, you're correct. Showing breasts to a prepubescent boys(which make up 99.9% of the games population) is like fucking mind control.

Im so proud I didn't fall under the spell of zee BOOBIES, so like am I the 0.1 that didnt click on it (of the pubescent boys)

Edit: Im just wondering how long before they turn the pics into vids of them striping or before the just send a stripper around whenever you click on it.

 

[DanielPowell33]

Theres nothing wrong with it....(i like the ads, hehe)
also this threads been done before.

 

[RedDiablo]

Ignore them. I clicked on the ad today, and all I got was some useless pop-up.

 

[TheLefty]

Yeah, the boobz are pretty enticing.

But now I have ADBLOCK!

It's amazing, and NOW I don't have to look at those shitty weight loss ads anymore !

Seriously though, get FireFox, then AdBlock.

I use firefox, where do you get that?

 

[ProfessorLayton]

For everyone saying ignore it, you obviously haven't had your family walk in on you having a big Evony ad on the screen and trying to explain yourself. It's kind of annoying, like the big flashy emoticon ads that talk to you and give people seizures.

 

[oppp7]

Have you seen the ones where it's nothing but breasts? It's actually kind of funny how low class the entire thing is.

 

[A teenage old man]

There was already a thread on this, and it inspired me to get adblocker, and ever since I have had no problem with Evony, and thus I suggest it to all of you.
