“We at Evony feel that the future of games is the free to play model called “Freemium”; whereby customers can purchase if they want, but are under no obligation to.  It really shows the success of Evony, LLC by going against the normal video game publishing and charging for access or forcing players to pay, or alternatively to forcing players to watch third party advertisements.  Instead of forced loyalty, we’re able to create an extremely loyal community which grows exponentially through word of mouth as well as marketing and generates a wonderful game community atmosphere where players help one another for the love of the game.  Our model of Freemium sets the standard for the future, and we’re quite proud of that achievement.”
