tried it when it was called civony. Looked interesting but got turned off by the seemingly average age of about 12 or 13 based on all the "LOL!" and "PWNED" and "NOOBS!" I kept seeing in the ever annoying chat screen at the bottom of the screen.

and just as funny:
Evony - A patchwork of stolen parts.: Ark's Ark

part of it...

As I mentioned, Evony was originally called Civony, and it is not hard to see who their inspiration was. If by “inspiration”, you mean the place where they blatantly stole stuff from. Like Civilization 4, each technology description begins with a quote. In fact, like Civ 4, each technology description begins with the quote from Civ 4. I’m almost surprised Leonard Nimoy isn’t doing a voice-over, though I hear him in my head when I read them anyway. Lifting all the quotes straight from Civ is exceptionally lazy. Oh, and most of the descriptions are lifted straight from Civ 3 or 4 as well.

:D

Played it for 1 hour one night. While I don't mind games that have some premiums that you can pay for (The West comes to mind), just seems like that game nickel and dimes you to death. Any game that wants you to pay $ to chat, um... no.
