Evony wont win this lawsuit and more than likely they will be countersued and will lose.
evony has already perjured itself in it`s court filings. Evony claims that part of the defamation involves statements linking evony to the comapny UMGE and the country of china.Evony claims that neither it`s company nor any of it`s employees have ever been affiliated or associated with UMGE or china. Evidence available on the internet offers irrefutable proof that evony is lieing about this. evidence proves that evony was in fact developed by the UMGE company which is based in china and at least one current evony employee also worked for UMGE while it was developing the game.perjuring yourself to the courts before you have even set foot in the court room completely destroys any credibility you may have had.

Fact: i have seen many (I mean maybe hundreds of young kids starting in world chat with this question: Where’s the boobs? (or naked girls, etc)). Although I myself didnt make that referential link, I am sure that many, many others have fallen for it. The court of NSW is no Kangaroo court! In Australia, legal representation is light years ahead of the often corrupt and lobbying-influenced courts of the USA. I think Evony LCC will be forced to change their advertising, and, now they have done the American thing and sued (which doesn’t go down well in Australia), I think they will find themselves being massively sued in kind from the author of the Blogs in question (maybe even fined by the courts). As usual, we have a B.S. representation of the law from a legal practioner. I am Australian. I know the law pretty well – I am sure of what the outcome will be. Evony – fix your programming first. Actually produce a good product – not a Microsoft-like product (full of bugs). I have been playing this game for years and I love it, so that says something but….. The advertisements are totally misleading and encourage youngsters to act inappropriately for their ages. The company needs to project a mature attitude to its member players. Take a good look at yourselves guys – you are walking the plank with this one….And yes…get rid of the black-on-black….stupid idea!

I like Evony, but Evony should get a hold of themselves. Whatever this blogger has been saying has not discouraged millions of players to play evony, or decreased their playing experience fun one bit! Claiming it did is just sick and shows refusal to investigate the real cause for the decline! I’ve read the bloggers posts on evony, and he’s actually making a very good case. Solid posts, plenty of proof to back him up. And if Evony is going haywire over this one blogger, then what are they going to do about the hundreds others, who have been saying the same? As I said, evony should get a grip on themselves and focus on improving their game, rather than suing whoever voices criticism.

PS. please make the background of form fields another color. It’s impossible for me to see them. Black on black doesn’t go well.

This article’s disappointing content lacks the balance of a bona fide journalistic news item and more the self interested style of public relationship propaganda. It behooves one then to research further in pursuit of “the facts”.

From an objective viewpoint, it’s obvious and natural that hired attorneys are going to present a one sided view in favor of their client, and that their business client is motivated by retaining their business interests to make more money. There is no apparent self interest in the person Evony is attacking, the blogger Bruce Everiss.

From my subjective viewpoint, the Evony decision to take legal action has doomed itself and it’s product. At that heart of that assessment is the fact that Evony advertisement campaign notoriously and singularly focused on the presentation of female breasts, the fact that their product has nothing to do with breasts, and the fact that much of the advertisement presents breasts adorned with modern day undergarments when the product they sell is based in a medieval fantasy world. Courtrooms are their own beasts, but the jury of the public eye works not from legal niceties but instead from common sense. Given Evony’s notorious lack of ethical behavior in their ad campaigns to date, the public sentiment will discount further Evony communications and disbelieve their hired legal console. It is one thing to tolerate false and misleading advertisement, but when the a liar goes public in furtherance of his interests, I predict a very negative backlash. Ultimately it is the public consumer that will decide the fate of Evony, not some Kangaroo court.
