Now that the Evony Browser Game was starting to walk forward, they needed to get a crew of staff members to moderate and manage the community forums. Between April 14th, and April 23rd, the administrators selected 14 moderators as the first official Evony forum staff. These people were: DANKFIRE, Zenrax, Phoren, TWT, Stevinho, Crypteia, MadK, Sukasai, Ktanaqui, Lord_Zylok, BBQ_Sauce, Aderik, Just Jurgen, Brutal Xian. TWT was later removed due to various reasons.
