If you have read my article called “Do you have what it takes to be the next Spam Queen?” it actually explains everything about this obnoxious online game browser, the one that must not be named before, ehem Evony. The ubiquitous ads of Evony seems inescapable as they hog the ad space in every gaming site or non-gaming sites we visit.  Since countless bloggers and advertisers complained to Google regarding this spam abuse of Evony, this is their early Christmas to all of us:

“Hi everyone — thanks for your patience so far. We’ve received all of your feedback and have looked into your concerns. Any Evony ads should now point only to evonyonline.com, so having evonyonline.com on your filter list should now effectively block all Evony ads. If you still see ads after adding this URL to your filter (and it’s been over 48 hours since you’ve added it), reply to this thread and we’ll look into it.”

Woot woot, I don’t need to filter all my articles and comments and replace them with an image version [], that’s less hassle indeed. Well speaking of the devil, UMGE Group, a  publicaly listed game development company out of China, wants to dominate the online gaming market through their shady Evony, as well as dominating the advertisement world too. Now, it seems their next tactic for supremacy is to control the bloggers and media people by threatening them with lawsuits. Bruce Everiss, a veteran games industry marketer who runs a website at http://www.bruceongames.com/, is their first victim of this nonsense libel case they filed in Australia. The armchairdiplomat.com blog also criticize this move as saying “Now setting aside the obvious dick move on UMGE’s part by suing a UK blogger in Australia for a game owned by a Chinese company who’s servers are in America, doesn’t something have to be proved to be incorrect to technically be defamatory?” and PopeHat.com witty response “Its Lawyers Rely Upon, Act Like Boobs”. Even the British daily newspaper “Guardian” received a legal complaint from Evony LLC and the demanding to remove the controversial article “Has Evony become the most despised game on the web?” So I want to ask the same question I’ve been pondering, has the Evony become the most despised game on the web? Oppps, don’t say anything defamatory or Evony will shoot errr sue! After the jump, you can read on the actual threatening letter sent to Bruce from Warren McKeon Dickson, a firm of Australian solicitors hired by Evony.

If you want to help beat these people you can. Just cut and paste anything I have ever said about Evony on here and put it anywhere and everywhere on the web. You don’t even have to credit the source if you don’t want to. They cannot threaten everybody! The more that the truth about Evony is propagated the better the Streisand effect will be - BruceonGames.com

Bruce Everiss, a veteran games industry marketer, has revealed in his blog “bruceongames.com” that an upcoming MMO will be released soon. Well this might be not the fantasy RPG everyone will be looking forward to.  From the same developers of , this suspicious business strategy-based browser game will grace our placement ads, blog comments, and mail inbox with their false advertising  in a matter of time.

Update: Evony.com threatens Bloggers: Don’t Criticise our Game or We’ll Sue

According to Bruce in his other blog post, these dirty tactics are connected to Chinese Businessman Eric Lam who was sued by Microsoft for online advertising click fraud. He is also directly involved with this uproar of countless bloggers in the web and now he’s ploying to release an alternate empire to bombard us with spam bots and a new cheesy line such as “Hi there, come save me, my Lord!”

Update: Evony.com threatens Bloggers: Don’t Criticise our Game or We’ll Sue

The best way to combat this kind of  spam abuse is to directly report it to their support center. So we did try to contact one of the admins a few days ago and gave them the spam related links and screenshots. They admitted it was one of their members who has been bugging us. They have a program called  that lets members earn credits by referring new players to the game. However this kind of spamming already went overboard and it’s giving headaches for variety of websites. A few hours later (on that same day we complained), they posted a new announcement on how they will take action against the issue:

Here’s a witty response by Mark for thebigcritique.com
