Day 54 and some observations |

Published in United States of America - Social interactions and entertainment - 3 - 18 Jun 17 22:06

Hi everybody,

   Well our new game is almost 2 months old now. I can`t say it`s progressing like i thought it would, but it is slowly getting it`s footing. I hate to see the division going the way it is between the HAVES and the HAVE-NOT`S. As with all these games, there are those who seem to have a never ending supply of money and can just throw thousands of $$$ away. (hopefully without hurting them in RL )
  Sadly, i am one of the Have-Nots. I did spend a small amount of money to get started and would gladly spend small amounts regularly  IF small amounts were not penalized sooooo harshly. 30$ gets you i think 130 gold ( ? ) which we all know can be spent in about 13 seconds and won`t even buy you 1 q3 company.
  But, you see it seems to me almost a waste of money to even TRY to catch up or be competitive with the Haves. So it is doubtful i will EVER spend any more $$$$$ here. So i am delegated to just plodding along saving up what little gold i get with what little wee weapons i can make.

   I am not complaining, just saying it the way i see it. I realize the producers of this game do it for the money. I don`t claim to know the answer, but it seems to me that if you did NOT penalize a player by making small purchases more equally % age wise to a large purchase, you would have more normal/regular/not so rich/people trying to raise a family  type of players who would and Could spend say a 10$   every couple of weeks or whatever and actually GET a fair sized amount of gold for it. It seems to me you would create more revenue for yourselves and have a more competitive game in the process. As we all know, you need to spend 80$  to get a decent amount of gold, and i know for sure most young people (who probably make up a large percentage of your player base) simply cannot afford to spend that kind of money.

   OK, now on to prices in markets. I cannot believe some of the prices i am seeing for weapons and things. I mean 8-10g for 100 q5 air? and just outrageous prices on all weapons. I realize  AGAIN  that the HAVES are the only ones making these type weapons and so therefore there aren`t really a whole lot of them available. Hence supply and demand kicks in and drives prices up.
 Its funny to see, q 1/2 houses you can`t give away, because all the poor folks can make those, but once you get to q3 and up, you have to refinance your REAL home to get enough gold to buy a house here.

 Well, as the title say, this is no superarticle. Just a few observations of mine.  No fancy pictures or maps.  ( i have no idea how to do all that stuff. My hats off to some of you computer geniuses out there who can)

 There are some really nice people playing this game and i want to thank all of you who have supported me and others along the way. I always try to pass that kind of stuff on.  :-)

  I could really use the 5 gold so if you can find it in your heart to click on subscribe, that would be lovely.

Thanks All  and Good Luck out there in the REAL WORLD   :-)

Good article, glad too see most of the players started to right decent articles, at least they are writing their own opinions instead of just making s4s. About your topics yes you are absolutely %100 right about spending money but we all know it was going to be like this. I cant even spend 10 dollars for regularly. It is simply too much for me especially in Turkey because of TL-US Dollar balance but as I said we all knew when we registered this was going to happen. Gold buyers will lead the way and others just have to wait their competition at prices to get more buyers from less gold. As a handy tip try to accomplish society builder missions. With that way you can get some good amount of gold to establish your production facilities. At least it can give you a very good head start if you can complete them.
