So a new day, and once again I can’t login to Evony.  And I blame the boobs.

The Evony Game has been growing in popularity since its arrival a month ago.  This is mainly due to the intense advertising campaign that UMGE has been pushing.  Yes I’m talking about boobs.  The ads that are plastered everywhere on search terms I’d never even thought of.  These Save the Queen, Save your Lover and others with boobs have been infecting the internet for a couple of weeks now.  Each time a new ad comes out it is more promiscuous than before.

This spamming of the internet has reached into every nook, crenny and orrifice of the net and plastered scantly clad women all over.  All begging players to come and play the MMORPG Evony Game.

The ads are just there to suck you in though.  Once you start playing there are beginner quests that are built to help you familiarise yourself with the game.  These are a great way to start out and also are the hook which makes players addicted to Evony.  As you watch your castle grow and build resources and troops you get more and more hooked and want more and more castles.  This is the hook where the boobs are the bait.

Once swallowing the hook, you will play Evony like the other 3 million online gamers that are enjoying Evony now.

Like many MMORPGs it is often hard to login to evony.  This usually happens in times of great lag or the daily server restart.  The best option is to just keep refreshing and trying.  One day the little loading icon will pop up and you’ll be able to play your beloved Evony again.

 There are a couple of ways to Login Evony, you can go to the Evony homepage, put in your email address and password, click the server you want to login to and hit the Evony Login.  Or you can go directly to the server you play on if you have bookmarked it.  The bookmark will take you straight to the Evony Login for that server.  It even saves your Evony Login details so you don’t have to type in your login and password every time you want to login to evony.

The Evony Login page is the same one used if you try and refresh the browser in times of lag. 

Evony is putting on more and more servers to keep up with demand and in an attempt to keep lag low.  There are currently 21 Servers and 12 World Servers.  These Evony servers are divided up like this mainly for the language barrier.  That is, on the “normal” servers, English is the main language.  If evony players wanting to login to evony and speak other languages, then the World Servers are the ones to chose.

New Evony players are recommended to log in to the latest server.  That is, the one with the largest number.  At the moment the newest servers are Server 21 and World 12.  Joining an Evony server that has been going for a while will put you at a disadvantage straight off as there will be a lot of other gamers that would have built up their Evony castles much bigger than yours already.  Starting out in a new server gives you even footing.

If you have friends that are already playing evony and want to log in to their server, you can do this by ticking the server they are on and hitting the “Play Now” button.  If you can join the same Evony Alliance that your friend is on, this will give you a helping hand and could get you up to speed of the rest of the evony server and hopefully you’ll be less of a target.

If you are having trouble loging in to Evony, it might be in times of lag, or it might be after UMGE releases a new Evony Patch.  Try doing what developers call a “hard refresh“ this is done by holding down control and pressing F5.  This forces the browser to go and get fresh content from the server.  Another one of the ways to get past the dreaded orange “Please Wait” screen is to clear your browser’s cache.  In Internet Explorer this is done by going to tools, Internet Options, then delete temporary internet files.  If you have more than one browser, maybe firefox, then try switching to it to login to evony.  Or try logging in a different way.  Loggin through the main Evony screen, then chose your server.  Or try going to the server directly like http://[server number].evony.com/s.html this could work too.

Unfortunately one of the more memorable parts of playing Evony Free Forever is the site of the little clock madly ticking away and not being able to see anything happening on the screen.  This is the dreadded lag monster that affects most MMORPG at one stage or another.

Evony is working on combatting the lag by upgrading their servers and developing better client-server code to minimise the data sent between and un block the choked up lines into the Evony server.

One of the updates that Evony has done is to do an automatic reconnect when the player loses contact with the server.  This is a great feature and works well.  When the lag watch has been up for a while there is often a message telling the player to refresh the page and reconnect.  This sometimes helps, but more often than not will put the player out to the logon page to try and connect to Evony for 10, 15 or possibly over 20 minutes.
