Exactly.
The reason this makes me so mad. CIVONY HAS UNLIMITTED POSSIBILITIES AS A GAME. This is an awesome game but they are shooting themselves in the foot by making them pay for chat and core game functions.

Frankly, players need Speaker to chat in world. As all can witness the current situation of the world chat, some players are just spamming the chat with vulgar language. The speaker is designed to limit players' "language". If guys are aware that chatting in world cost game coins, they do that with more consideration.
Of course, speaking in alliance and private chats are free. That why we recommend players joining alliance and ask stuff in alliance chat.
I'm not in an alliance yet. Does that cost to chat as well?
No - Alliance chat requires no Speaker tokens.
Private messages are also free.
Mail is also free.
No it's not stupid World chat is where what you type in is showed to all players. That and you would not make it in a lot of other games like Maplestory.
And one last thing, money grabbing developers? Come on the games still in BETA other then fixing all the bugs, they still need to pay to keep the game alive, workers, taxes and what not. That and if you dont like the game then don't play it.:p
I wouldn't be too concerned about this. After all, you'll most likely get speakers from the amulet wheel anyway. . .
No you are.
Also, I agree with the original poster. It seems a bit lame to pay to chat, but then again, you don't really need it since you do have alliance chat.
The only thing I think which should be modified is the fact that game coins get taken away automatically if you have no speakers when you chat in world chat. There is no message warning you it will cost 5 cents to chat or anything like that. There are warnings when you click to speed up building or troop training, why isn't there a warning when you're out of speakers and your "LMAO" is about to cost you 5 cents?? The same thing happened to me as it did the original poster, and I'm never gonna be able to complete that quest which requires you to buy something from the shop until I get coins from the wheel. I'm thereby also missing out on 1 senior and 1 intermediate guideline :(
Of course this game is about the makers getting money, isn't any other?
My advice; Join an active alliance, it's almost the same, but toned down on the newbage.
