This is what evony about
first I want to apologize for my bad language.
anyway. I know that I will be banned because of this post but I just cant hold it in longer
now I've been in this game for more than 14 days and i found out that the whole this game is about stealing our money
everything is expensiv. coins / items / amulet. everything. I have never in all my life seen an online game which is more expensive than evony.
it is almost equal as expensive as online casinos. the only players who make it in this game is the rich ones who buying coins every day. the others have no chanse.
watch when you bulid somthing. you should always use speed items and which costing
hell. and why is it to expensiv to purchase the speed items? why can we not build 2 or 3 things at the same time?!
if we look at Travian forexampel. you can buy 600 gold for $ 30. are you aware of what the 600 gold in Travian means?!
you need 5 gold to make 25% extra resources for the 7 day
15 gold each week to build 3 things at once. and many other bonuses in addition to
2 gold to speed your buldings time to 0. no matter if it take 5 minutes or 50 hours
can you see the difference?
600 gold is enough for a whole month in Travian. and this is the secret of Travian succse. but here in evony is much defrent.
I know a friend who has bought 5000 coins for $ 500. and he used them all in one fuc1king day. he came very high up at the start
but a week after he could see that he needs 5,000 more coins. and there he relase that evony game is only about makeing money for evony. it is not
for fun or comfort, but it is only about making money for them.
but I will also admit that I like the game if you guys just change all these things with coins and money. I will not say that you should not make money!
yes offcurse you should make money but not in this greedy way. you guys forget that evony is still just an online game that people play to have som fun, not
to win money!
you have many customers right now because people still do not know what this one game is all about. but at some point they could see what everything in this game about. and that people will start with
run away to another game. as many already did. people are not stupid!
anyway. you will even be able to see it at some point. what im saying is if you want to change things so do it now. before some others make a new game like evony
but much cheaper.
I hope you guys can take the criticism and I hope you dont delete this post. although I doubt it. but if you do then you will just prove to me that im right.

I agree with Maka, Evony charges too much for too little gain. I can not understand Evony's prices, these virtual items cost NOTHING to create (well after the codes are written), why are the prices so insanely high?
30 USD will get the players NOTHING, just look at all the other Pay to Play MMORPGs out there. Their average montly subscription is what $15 USD?
Lower the cost of items and I would gladly spend money and support this game, but at these current prices, I'll have to pass.
More Bang for your Buck please.

I think of coins as just an extra booster to my game and not a necessity. I only buy coins for teleporters (when I have an extreme need for them) and maybe the occasional excalibur and that's it. maybe 100 coins a month.
-
By making coins cheaper it would only encourage more players to spend money, making it a necessity to buy advances to keep up. In Evony, yes you can buy coins to get ahead, but most players find that by learning the game you keep up just fine. Today coins are not a dealbraker for winning, giving everyone a fair chance if they only put some effort into the game.
-
Reading this thread made me think. Many people already say paying is required to play Evony. But if items were made cheaper and more affordable so the majority of players could pay to play instead of just the smaller exclusive group that can afford the current prices, wouldn't that create even more pressure for everyone else to also have to pay to play as well? Then Evony -definitely- wouldn't be "free forever".
EDIT: iamthouth beat me to it, that's what I get for going afk while typing a post.

You forgot about the reports from players saying that they never get the cents that they do buy - and even have them disappear once they get them!
-
Maybe they are overpriced but they are by no means necessary to succeed. I haven't bought anything and am a duke and #1 on server 32, whereas most of the people that bought medal boxes to get ahead have a bunch of weak cities without the army/defense/research to match, and are juicy targets to be taken over and doled out to my alliance or barbed. Spending money will save you some farming time, or maybe get you out of a bad situation, but spending enough to have a complete supply of cash items and use them at every opportunity is so prohibitively expensive that only a few people do it serverwide, and even they aren't unstoppable.

You can play every aspect of this game for free (level 10 npc take overs help with that a lot). In fact I never bought cents till I hit duke, and I needed to teleport cities to specific locations.
I know fully well that many other players play for free. So.. you have a free game that if you really tired you can excel at (an no lame excuses we know there are people who are really good at this game and don't pay). Where the only people who end up paying are the ones who suck and doe it early game to get titles and build cities that the rest of us take over. Or the ones who really love the game and buy it near end game to give them an extra boost.
So think about what happens if you lower the prices of game items. It won't make a different for the noobs who buy the items early game, they won't know how to use it. But the dedicated players who can now afford more items plus the effort they put in...
The gap between players will become huge. And those great players who play for free? what if they can now afford to pay a little and get some cheap items? We're just going to get more complaints from new players that the game is unfair (like we don't get so much of that already).
SO I'm going to leave you with an example. what if we decreased the price of cents? I can now demo and build a level 10 npc up in maybe 3 days instead of a week. I can scout bomb you over and over again, because my cities are set up for production and I'll have over 60% heal rate with a pen.
get the picture?

Evony I-Win isn't connected to purchase power. It's connected to 8 amulets you get when you launch a character on a new server. Once you are ahead of the pack, the gap only widens. So if 'Score on the WoF' when you hit your 8 amulets, you win because even the most seasoned player wont catch you. They can for the duration keep you ate a pace but on day 8, they only need to be 1% better than you to exterminate you, impacting the gap in such a way that they then only need to keep active to secure victory over you.
WoF.
8 amulets.
Get Junk?
Dump the char, go again. Evony is 2 hrs to I-Win.
- Add on: I'm here because my current char on one of the new servers is spamming refresh to network errors.
Following tradition, I expect the ballista I sent to an NPC 7 minutes away to be returning from thier 7 hr journey. As was the case on most other servers where we repeatedly lost connection.
That might be part of it as well.

the makers of evony are also WoW gold farmers lol.
