No, I did not spend a dime on this game for the first 6 months because I couldn't. My Paypal account was closed a while back and it took forever for some other online payment place to setup my account because I had american cards but live in japan. So I abandoned all of my cities and rebuilt them 2 months into the server with zero cash. And I grew strong with zero cash. Only for the last couple of months have I dumped lots of money into the game for my hero gear and stuff, long after I got Prizz title. I got my Prizz title while all my cities were colonized, zero game coins, farmed for medals and built up 10 cities with tons of barracks in each one so I could crank out troops faster than my Suzerain. Then I captured my queen via the quest while colonized with no game coins. Then I leveled her up and uprose on my suzerain and captured 2 HH's from my suzerain. All of that by basically starting 2 months late with zero cash. Now, after all that, then I started focusing on my workshop materials and stars. Evony stopped dropping materials way back when. So after a while I decided to start spending cash on materials, which lead to more cash spending, lol.
So dont jump to conclusions on when I spent my money and that money helped me rebuild 2 months into the game when I redid all my cities, it did not help at all. I built myself up the hard way.
You know, everyone wants to enter the server in a top dog position and maintain that position forever. That is like starting out in sports as a pro and staying a pro forever. Look guys, it is normal to start out low on the todem pole and work your way up. And with the original Age II servers (Na1-19) ALL players have a chance to build AND KEEP 10 cities. Just not historical ones.
As for the newer Age II servers (Na20+), they are basically Age I, not Age II. So I would call newer Age II server Age 1.2.
