Saudi Arabia Unblocked Evony

The government of Saudi Arabia unblocked Evony on Thu Jul 23 2009!

Four days ago, the King Abdel Aziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) blocked www.evony.com, preventing everybody in Saudi Arabia from playing Evony.

Today we were notified by a citizen of Saudi Arabia that Evony has been unblocked since Thursday.

This is great news, and we at EvonyNet hope our websites, like the Evony Wiki (Evonypedia), never get censored by foreign governments.

Saudi Arabia Blocked Evony

It is not every day that Saudi Arabia contacts you!

Two days ago, we received an email from Saudi Arabia notifying us that, as of  Sun Jul 19 2009, everybody in Saudi Arabia is being blocked from playing Evony.

The government of Saudi Arabia may have taken offense to the Evony Internet advertisements using beautiful women with some skin showing.

For example, here are Evony’s latest ads

vertical-01  evony-ad-5 

The King Abdel Aziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) is responsible for the Internet protocols in Saudi Arabia. Currently, there are around 750,000 sites blocked and filtered on the pretext of protecting Islamic values and culture. Unfortunately, if the user does try to circumnavigate the block, they will be having their use tracked and monitored.

China also has the power to block all of its citizens from any website they deem inappropriate, but as of this writing, has not blocked Evony.

Evony Will Not Tolerate Spamming

Dear Players,

We have been excited at the success of iEvony, but we have also come across an unintended side effect of the iEvony system. Some players have abusively and unethically engaged in spamming practices on a variety of websites with the intent of boosting their credits. This practice affects site traffic and makes headaches and extra work for moderators on a variety of websites. It reflects poorly not only on these users, but also on Evony as a whole.

For this reason, we will absolutely not tolerate such spamming practices. Players who engage in spam practices (posting multiple threads from multiple accounts on the same site, attempting to get forum users to follow a link) will be aggressively pursued and sanctioned. Penalties may include: being stripped of ALL earned Credits and any Coins or items they were exchanged for; having your iEvony account permanently disabled; being temporarily or permanently banned from Evony.

We encourage owners and moderators of sites that receive such spam to contact us to report it. Please provide proof of the spam (screenshots or search links) and we will take appropriate action to see that your site is not disturbed by our players.

Our goal with the iEvony program is for our players to be rewarded for being our goodwill ambassadors on the sites which they normally frequent and for the most part that is exactly what is happening. We do not agree with the negative actions taken by a few and intend to see to it that this does not happen going forward.

Please report spam to reportspam@evony.com.

Thank you,

The Evony Team

100,000 is a Large Number

We had our 100,000th visitor last night on www.evonypedia.com!

We are so excited!

In 30 days, our audience grew from 0 to 100,000.

analytics-evonypedia-2009-07-14

And we are making money.

Every 1000 visitors translates into $1. Yesterday we had 10,000 visitors and we made $10. Since we started 30 days ago, we made $100. Our projection for the next 30 days is $500.

adsense-evonypedia-2009-07-14

In total, we built 8 websites. Evonypedia is our wiki and we created a browser toolbar (for IE, Firefox, Safari), a custom Google Map and a Facebook-like social network.

See
http://discover.evonynet.com/

We are also learning a lot about SEO and how to gain Google pagerank. Many of our keywords now appear on the first page of Google. Yay!

We will send the next update when we reach our 1,000,000th visitor!

iEvony Beta Invitation

Evony is announcing that iEvony, a very exciting application where you are able to obtain cents for free as well as credits which can be turned in for amazing in-game rewards which otherwise are unable to purchase, is being released as Open Beta.

However this Open Beta is on an invite only. Are you wanting to be one of the few who gain a special invitation code? Here are a few ways:

1. Start asking your alliance. Most likely someone there has obtained the special invitation code and software, which they can then invite you in on the Open Beta program.
2. Start asking your friends!
3. Ask on the world chat channel! Someone may invite!
4. Go to the Evony Forums, General Discussion, at the iEvony: Open Beta - Requesting Invitation Code thread. You may get selected!

I will be deleting any off-topic items here or comments. Multiple requests from a user will be met with a short vacation for that user. Your post may be deleted if you've been given a unique iEvony code.

Note: iEvony has nothing to do with the iPhone so please stop posting about needing one. iEvony is a client.
