New Evony ad campaign - Boobs for clicks. - Polidicks

I had no idea what this was but I've seen the ads about...even then didn't get my attention.

only desperate nerds play shitty games because the advert has boobs

j

Seen these ads all over the place have caught my eye a few times :downs: Also I don't get ads, There blocked but I have it set up to ping but not show files. So I still save bandwidth and garry gets money.

Oh yeah i remember seeing these ads, they're fucking EVERYWHERE.

Oh yeah I saw this. It's hot.

The adverts are slowly becoming less and less about the actual game.

I saw these on thatguywiththeglasses.com and facepunch, terrifyingly the only sites I couldn't use adblock plus with these past few weeks. (I was at my cousin's house and his adblock wasn't working, and TGWTG didn't work without me using IE at one point). These things must be everywhere.

just another shitty ad for a shitty game. happens all the time: [URL=http://filesmelt.com/Imagehosting/#9eaea2c65ae44404c069741b90f908b2.jpg][IMG]http://filesmelt.com/Imagehosting/pics/9eaea2c65ae44404c069741b90f908b2.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I love those ads simply for the fact that they all end with ",my lord" like its specifically targeted with guys who have some kind of power or domination fetish.

Something kind of funny is this ad isn't as good as the previous one, the current woman's face just doesn't look right.

Online games have been featuring scantly clad woman in ads for years now, why is this news?

It's a scam. [quote]So it seems like every website has ads for this website game, so we (Digital Confectioners) decided to actually look into and research it. And we came up with a whole lot of lols. The first thing I did was go to their website to actually find out about the game and what it's about. So I click on their Tour page and all it has for six pages or so is screenshots of the game. The screenshots don't have any extra information, and neither do the pages. So in the tour, you don't learn a single thing about the game. So in the screenshots, as I look at it I think, hmmm, I have seen these graphics before. Turns out, I'm not the only one and they've actually been lifted from Age of Empires 2. Exactly. Comparing screenshots of the game to ingame content, I found it was either the same, or copy-paste jobs. So I think, ok, with that aside, perhaps the actual game isn't so bad. I read their forums a little bit, and I uncovered nuggets of gold. The game uses a 10:1 ratio when it comes to cash. I know you're thinking that they give you $10 ingame currency to $1USD... but it's actually the other way around. That's right, to get $3 ingame currency, it costs you $30USD. Now, the game states that it is free to play... but there are some catches here. Some content of the game cannot be seen or unlocked until you've paid $0.5 in game currency, thus you can't do some stuff unless you give them $5. This charge exists because the item you need to buy upgrades a building. That's right, you have to pay $5 just to upgrade a single building, so you can see more content. Anything they could monetize, they've done. Ingame world chat costs you $0.3 USD. The funniest thing about all this is the payment schemes. The smallest amount you can pay is $5 USD and the largest amount is $3000 USD. What? Seriously? For $3000 USD you can play WoW or some other top notch MMO for years. So now that you know about the money side of things, one of the deals with joining up to the game is that you get $100 - $50 worth of in game stuff. But when things wind up costing so much, you may only get a couple of things in the end!!! The women in the ads are also funny. This game has no queens at all, even thou the ads tell you that your Queen is awaiting. The official forum FAQs told me this one. Even the moderators think half the game is stupid. Lastly, I decided to look up who on earth would make this game. It turns out to a Chinese company in China called UMGE. So I went to their website, and on the far right there is a big button which says "Add Fund! Pay now!". I haven't even registered or signed up to their site / games and they're already trying to get me to pay for stuff. Note how they talk about three games on their site, one of them being Civony. There are another two, but I wasn't able to even access either sites! So I can pay for the other two games that I can't even access to. Lastly, on the footer, it says "ALL CONTENT COPYRIGHT ©2009 REGANMERC.COM". What the hell? Who is reganmerc.com? So I went to that address and it's just a parked domain name by GoDaddy. So either they stole someone else's site, or someone messed up huge time.[/quote] [url]http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=185220[/url]

this is actually the first time i've noticed these adds because I mentally block out all internet advertising

[url=http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001286.html]Jeff Atwood made an interesting post about it.[/url]

I haven't seen the ad yet. Adblock for the fucking win.

Funny story, I just saw Evony on the bottom of my page. Hilarious, right? NO PICS NO PROOF

I thought I was the only who found this annoying

God, these ads have been following me everywhere.

get adblock plus

lol it worked for me :/ then I played it and it was really stupid.

I like how they say "Play [b]discretely[/b] for free" as if trying to say "Don't worry, nobody will know how many awesome boobs you'll be looking at" When really, it just means "Don't worry nobody will laugh at you for being tricked into playing this shitty game"

I know somebody that plays this game, he's annoying as fuck.

Dern it, what is the ad? I have ad-block plus, so i dunno.

How the fuck did they afford all these ads everywhere anyway

[QUOTE=Xgen;16301641]How the fuck did they afford all these ads everywhere anyway[/QUOTE] It's probably whatever moron gets suckered in by the lure of breasts.

I used to play Evony a bit. Then I realized it sucked. Took me a while. And I thought I was alone, thought it was one of those google things that target ads JUST FOR YOU.

Fixed it. [img]http://fc09.deviantart.com/fs49/f/2009/208/6/3/EVONY_by_Ryu_Gi.jpg[/img]
