We’ve spoken about the huge potential for the MMO gaming world brought about by Facebook and their game app component. The addition of the games to the Facebook realm allows gamers to easily access new games and most of them are free and they can quickly add their friends into the games too.

Kingory was another title recently that went down the facebook gaming route and others such as Mafiawars and Farmville have smashed MMORPG gaming records as they tallied hundreds of thousands of Facebook users to play their unique little games free.

But what about Evony?

The leading web based game has had another strong push for accounts and logins and while gamers can still play evony free, the fact that the sequel ‘evony age 2′ is now on tap – and new marketing components are around the web via adsense – evony is ready to do another push for accounts.

But what if they joined forces with Facebook or MySpace?

Evony could seriously attract big numbers – and if they don’t , then blizzard inc is expected to release a world of warcraft style web game to rival the evony game and cash in on the buzz.

If these online free web games arent up your alley, then you might like the Wewaii game which allows the gamer to play free and setup a resort and manage it against competitors! An interesting concept, but one that may prove interesting enough for new gamers to wedge them away from evony, farmville, mafiawars and even the new blizzard (battle.net) agreement with facebook.

While development on the original evony continues, including larger maps, more in-game items, better strategy options and an ever-growing database of accounts and thriving alliances – the next step, away from the original game platform could be futher away than we think.

The problem for Evony and the makers – Evony LLC and UMGE (wowmine / eric lam backed), is that given the strong success of the original game in the MMORPG market, if they move away to a totally new sequel ‘Evony Age 2′ as some have suggested – then it could cripple or make a massive dent in the original official evony game and it’s large gamer base.

With some suggesting that there are near 20 million login accounts having been created for the original evony and now around 1000 free english servers for the game – starting to tell the world about a sequel would certainly see some of that gamer-base and goodwill move toward the new release.

In response to recent releases by Innogames such as the Grepolis Game by the makers of (The West and Tribes) – Evony have simply cranked up their web marketing campaign. But will this be enough to keep it atop the MMO BBG ranks?

While they are attracting new users and signups at a high rate, there is no guarantee that firstly these users will be long time evony players. Some will arrive, signup, login and create a town and grow it minimally, check out the battle scenes and military related options and may never return.

Then for the percentage of online games players that do stay and continue to keep an active Evony Account, will they eventually purchase evony game coins? Because if they dont, they arent generating any profit for the games makers and backers.

Apart from Grepolis by Innongames out of Germany, other rivals of Evony include the Kingory Game, Adventure Quest Worlds and DragonFable.
