jonni Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Libel law across the globe is nasty stuff, and he was lucky to get away from that cleanly. props to him, and mmg - nice to see UK gaming stick together.Everyone's so eager to see what mmg said, it almost makes me think you're expecting him to have been dropping new skill hints in the courtroom lol dedicate your idle computer power to a scientific project.

Power Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Evony is by far the worst example of baiting pubescent males with b00biez in advertisements that I have ever seen. Glad they didn't win... tbh I want to read the criticism the guy wrote about them but the link isn't working for me.Like I said in another thread my dad got sucked in by the "b00biez" and I thinkt it's hilarious.

Indeed, come for the boobs, stay for the promise of boobs, leave when you realize the boobs are a LIE. :evil: Of course this is nothing new, Evony is just the most blatant example. Most games that engage in this form of advertising at least feature their female mascots in revealing looking ARMOR, Evony ads are just women in bikinis now basically.

Dupin Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Tbh I don't mind those ads :P Evony is really just the tip of the iceberg here. Seriously, have you ever played a game with women in it that did not in some way use them as teen-bait? And before you say Runescape, I've seen Rs ads/concept art etc that contained attractive females with significantly less clothing than most females wear. Maybe not as bad as some other games, but Jagex isn't completely innocent here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand if the game had better graphics and more detail, but... Anyway, who took a pee on our names? SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

ChickyBee32 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Does anyone actually play Evony? o.O I mean I guess so, I just never hear anything about it. Yeah I'm playing it atm - I wanted to see what the fuss was about. One of the 'quests' is to join an alliance, then get rewards as your alliance gets bigger. Overnight, we went from 20 members to 80.

totalpwnage Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I played Evony because my friend was playing it and its pretty much afkable, so I'd do it while I got EP. Some of the people that pay when they play are ridiculous. It's basically a game where you can lose everything overnight if you're not online or you don't pay for truces (which keep you from being hit for 12 hours). The people are pretty shady though I will say that... nice to see that he won. Too bad thats not gonna be a lot of money. Started free trade with 1.5m cash. 2 weeks later, have hit max cash 2x. PvP drops: 359 Brawling Gloves, 11 Vesta's Longswords, 41+ Zaros/Ancient Statues9 Dragon Full Helms, 3 Dragonfire Shields on the old PvP loot system Brawler guide is being finished!

Aiel Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I liked this comment on the news post thing describing the case: "What a shame, I was looking forward to hearing how the Evony evidence to the court gradually just became ever larger pictures of boobies." OT: From just that, it seems to me that evony could be linked to possible criminal rings in china and be linked to gold farming <_< I'm suprised jagex didnt think that too and go in to screaming "END FREE TRADE! REMOVE THE WILDERNESS! KILL THE CHINESE GOLD FARMERS!!" DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

Mercifull Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Bruce was making alot of slanderous comments and connections with no basis in fact.I think the general gist is that Bruce won the case BECAUSE his comments were fact. If there was no basis then he would have lost the case. I don't agree with a lot of what Bruce comments about (especially with regard to piracy... I don't pirate games either) and he does like to pick fights with people but in this case he is 100% right. I have sent Bruce an email asking for a copy of the transcripts when he gets them and will post what MMG said when he does.

Mercifull Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 A quick glance at the transcripts seem to suggest that when MMG gave his affidavit he didn't do it by sending a letter he was on the phone in court via Skype. I will have a more detailed read later. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Bruce was making alot of slanderous comments and connections with no basis in fact. Do you have evidence of this or care to point out some examples? Apparently Evony was unable to prove that bruce was being slanderous. It's not Slander if you are dealing in facts "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better.

Ellac Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I go to check out the links at the top of the first page and see an ad for "World of LordCraft" with a half-nude lady on it. Seriously.. Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omali Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Bruce was making alot of slanderous comments and connections with no basis in fact. Yea, that stupid Bruce Everiss and all of those "facts" he presented not only in court but in his blog. I mean, what do pictures and press releases mean anyway? NOTHING, that's right. Not that it matters. Bruce will continue blogging, and Evony will go back to making Generic Asian MMO #98579234847593874593784593874593478589347958348753974 for the glorious people's republic!

Robert_R Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I just went to a website and guess what the add on the side of the page was. A picture of a half naked girl with flashing boobs(that's right flashing) with the words "come play my lord" next to her... The game must really suck if they need to have advertisements like that to get people to play it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
