It is a matter of emphasis. The word 'ever' is often used to intensify a phrase, or an emotional reaction as surprise or impatience. As an example, 'have you ever seen anything like it'. In addition the word is used to define something that is happening continuously, such as 'ever since then'
The word 'already' implies of something happening at a previous time. For example 'when we arrived they were already there'. Also it cam be a mild reference to the passage of time as in 'is it lunchtime already'.
Both words should be used in their own right and not mistaken, one for the other. This will perpetuate the richness of the English language, leading us towards more picturesque speech
