I played it for a little while.... don't get your hopes up. It gets pretty boring, and the game has a ton of serious issues (which aren't helped by entirely unresponsive customer service). Take a look on the forums and you'll see tons of complaints.
They stole their original graphics from some Microsoft game (I forget which one), and stole their original advertising images from some costume catalog. They claimed to be out of beta back in April, and then sometime in May they made a big announcement that they were leaving beta and changing the name. Normally you leave beta when all the bugs are fixed, but not Evony... even after leaving beta, servers were frequently crashing throughout the day with no word whatsoever from the Evony staff. Then they made a big announcement (sorry I forget the details) about upgrading the servers to what turned out to be as-yet-unreleased technology. Unsurprisingly, that scheduled upgrade never happened.
Enjoy it as long as you can, but I'd strongly advise not putting any money into the game if you're normally inclined to do such a thing. I'm not one to pay for a browser game, but Evony was terrible even for a free game when I tried it out.
