Darvious, that's a leap. You think online games with developers running servers and such are ever going to be free? Korean MMOs have been running on that model for more than a decade. Its a legitimate style affording accessability to the game to everyone for free but providing an incentive to spend when you want a little more out of it.
gigaclon, ripoff games deserve to be ripped off. And its hilarious when a sleazy, plagarizing game like Evony gets ripped off by a game that is actually more superior.
Also, this game is more like Ikariam than anything anyway.
