Evony, the free-to-play gaming sensation, today announced its official one year anniversary, inviting the game’s 19 million players to join in the celebration. First launched in May 2009 with Evony: Age I, Evony has enjoyed a warm reception from its growing fan base, which includes registered players in 191 countries. The game’s unprecedented success is expected to continue with the April launch of Evony: Age II, the expansion that boasts a suite of new features and enhancements.

In May of 2009, what started with only two servers and a vision to create the best possible user experience has evolved into a MMO phenomenon played around the world on 210 servers.

“Today marks a special occasion for the Evony community," said Tony Cerrato, Marketing Officer at Regan Mercantile, LLC. "We share our passion for Evony with a staggering number of players from all over the world. In just a year, we have built a rich community of players, from hardcore gamers to those discovering free-to-play gaming for the very first time. Evony is proud to welcome all types of gamers from all over the world as we head into our second year."

The recently launched Evony: Age II features new quests involving historical heroes and cities, a redesigned graphical interface, and Facebook Connect integration, providing innovative ways for players to build their own kingdoms, form alliances with friends, conquer enemies and make new friends - all from a simple browser interface.
