I hear naught but bad things, including hidden charges and a distinct lack of women in their underwear, contrary to the ads. ---

I’m on server 68 in Franconia. I rarely parade about in my underwear. It is difficult to play without spending money. But if you don’t give in to temptation, you can build up just fine without spending. ---

_— Begin quote from \_\_\_\__ What’s evony? _— End quote_ I’m quite sure that ads for Evony have been on the TEP site before. I’m not entirely sure what you actually do in the game but whatever the case, it’s advertising campaign is possibly one of the most annoying ever. ---

I got a synopsis from a friend: 1. Start doing the easy quests for instant rewards. 2. Get addicted. 3. Hit the wall where each upgrade to your city takes 5 to 10 hours unless you pay real money for it. 4. Plow on and on, your sense of fun and achievement getting staler and staler. 5. Get gang raped by other players who have either been playing longer or are paying real money. 6. ??? 7. Ragequit!! About right? ---

I just started Mafia Wars, been playing for three days, totally addicting. Already level 50…I had someone watch me go up 20 levels. Was kind of funny. ---

About right? _— End quote_ Actually, if you join a good alliance you won’t get raped. And the game allows several progressively difficult levels of military strategy. If you use those levels, you don’t have to spend real money to get enough resources for your builds. I’m kinda liking it. Of course, I belong to an alliance where the average age is more than 25, so there’s not much by way of internal drama. This alone makes me happy. ---

If I wanted to pay real money for a grindfest I’d go back to Runescape and at least get to play dress-up. ---

I can’t really say if it improves the experience or not. If I wanted to pay real money for a grind fest, I would go to Mancino’s. Their griders are to die for. ---
