  • Get inspired by watching Freedom’s YouTube video on why he quit Evony and how his life has improved since – Uninstall Evony and reclaim your life.
  • Get support from those close to you. Ask them to keep you honest and committed to your mission of reducing your game time or spending on Evony.
  • Use App Blockers to either completely prevent you from playing the mobile game or perhaps prevent you from playing at certain times if you just want to reduce the time spent on the game.
  • Request your bank to block payments on Google PlayStore or your store of choice so you can’t spend any more money.
  • Go scorched earth and allow your bubble to burst or request another player zero you. If you really want to commit then simply delete your entire account.
  • Think about the consequences of what you are doing, for example, what is it doing to your life goals and how is it affecting your valued relationships?
  • If all else fails and your gaming is still causing significant issues in your life then it is probably time to seek professional help.
