Our Evony wiki (Evonypedia) served its 1,000,000th pageview today!
McDonalds may have served billions of hamburgers, but they have a head start.
We at The Evony Network (EvonyNet) thank all of you, our loyal visitors, for making the Evony wiki (Evonypedia) a success!
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.
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
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.

We started a telecom franchise!
Xiao Yu and I started our first home-based business together: we bought a telecom franchise.
We are now authorized distributors of Telus, AT&T, Verizon and every cell phone carrier in Canada and the USA! If you are looking for a new cell phone, or cell phone service, give us a call first.
As franchise owners, we get access to new technologies, including, ...
Video phones!
The ACN video phone is only $100 and replaces a home phone line.
Do you recognize this person? She is a famous actress and model using this video phone!

I got married!
Xiao Yu and I became husband and wife on March 1, 2009 with a small ceremony at my parent’s house. We plan to have a proper wedding sometime next year, when we have enough time to plan and invite all our friends.
And we have a baby!
We recently learned Xiao Yu is pregnant! Both of us are very excited and expecting our first baby on October 20. Xiao Yu has been throwing up a lot and having a tough time with the pregnancy, but we are more than halfway there. Yay!
We had our 100,000th visitor last night on www.evonypedia.com!
I am so excited!
In 30 days, we watched our audience grow from 0 to 100,000.
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.
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.

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

Dear Evony Players,
When Evony was released, the demand for the game far exceeded our expectations. Our servers and network were designed with a moderate size player base in mind, and the number of Evony players now exceeds 500,000. While we were thrilled with the response to the game, we were also overwhelmed.
We were basically left with two options: scale up our infrastructure to meet demand, or forgo the "Free Forever" theme and convert to a subscription system, which would reduce the number of users.
We decided that because "Free Forever" is what inspired players to come to Evony in the first place, we would stick with it and do our best to support all our paid and unpaid players, rather than changing the business model to subscription-based. Since that time, our team has been getting very little sleep, often working 20 hours per day on Evony to make the game better, more stable and error-free. We believe that while the game is far from perfect,our efforts have yielded results. Evony servers are more stable than ever before. In addition, we have ramped up our capacity, including adding a new server, and we will continue to increase our capacity to keep up with demand.
We're also working on bug fixes, based on feedback from all of you. Many bugs have been fixed, but we realize more still exist. We are doing our best to stay on top of them.
A major point of controversy came when we attempted to fix the "Scout spam" medal exploit issue. Our goal was to fix the exploit, but in doing so we had the unintended side effect of dramatically lowering the medal drop rate.
We initially tried to fix this by artificially increasing the drop rate, but we eventually decided to redesign the medal system entirely. Now medals drop based on the level of the barbarian city or valley attacked. Higher level valleys drop higher level medals, and the drop rate is much more predictable and even.
Our intention was never to force players to buy Evony Cents to get medals through purchased medal boxes. We are committed to a real Free Forever approach. We want players to be able to gain promotion and have success in the game without ever paying any money. Evony Cent items are designed to help players do things faster and easier, and are supposed to be completely optional.
However, much of the time these goals were not communicated, both because we are on a different continent and because we are so busy with efforts to correct issues and increase capacity. That was a mistake on our part and certainly conveyed the wrong message to you, the player. For this reason, we have now hired an English Liaison to help aid in communication with the community and are in the process of hiring additional liaisons, moderators and customer service representatives to help address player concerns and keep the lines of communication open.
After all of this, we want to let the players know that we are still enthusiastically committed to continuing to improve Evony. The new medal system will reward players according to the difficulty of their battles. Tougher battles are more likely to yield better medals. As Evony moves forward, we are working on some exciting developments. We're going to continue to fix bugs and exploits as they crop up. We're going to listen to the voice of our community through our liaisons and customer service team. We're in the process of building and strengthening our customer service team. We'll balance combat and the game economy by hiring game data specialists and economists. We're building better graphics, animations and in-game videos and adding music and sound into Evony. We're continuing to increase server capacity and performance, increasing server stability and reliability. We're adding new moderators in-game and on the forums.
And we are still developing Age Two, which will add a historical perspective and new combat mechanics to the game, among many other things. Players have responded in huge numbers to our employment postings.
We're excited to have so many of the people working on Evony also be players of Evony. In this way, we can continue to mold the game to be what players want.
We are all very excited about the future of Evony, and we hope you are too!
The heart of Evony is our community and we are honored and thrilled to have such an involved, thoughtful and enthusiastic player base. Thank you for your continued support of Evony.
Sincerely,
The Evony Team
