    Default Claim your free $50 package poll

    Yes thats right you all should know about the $50 FREE package, I thought GREAT nice title they given us a nice gift guess wrong...

    "Evony is holding a promotional event from June 4th to June 10th. During this event, players who spend $30 or more will also get a FREE bonus gift worth $50! To see the contents, check the Bonus Package, accessible through the top left gift box icon. You can click on Bonus Package to check out the medals, guidelines, Michelangelo's Script and tons of other goodies inside the package. Don't miss out on this amazing bonus! Be sure to grab it before time runs out!

    And, as if this free package isn't enough, we have a bonus tip for spending cents: using an Amulet for the Wheel of Fortune, which cost 5 cents, will net you an item worth an average of 24 cents. That's right, you get an item worth almost five times the cost of an Amulet!"

    So lads spend your money $30 on cents and get this free WOW 50 cent worth of CRAP ( The package is worth more then 50cent but in my eyes thats how i feel about it )

    beginner guidlines 10
    primary guidlines 5
    speaker 10 O.o ???? only 10?
    20k of all resources
    michelangleos script 1 - Yes i agree this is nice to have
    Cross medal 3 lion medal 1 wisdom medal 3 freedom medal 3
    napoleons diary 2

    Ok This is just a poll on what you guys think of this kind of money making thame. Simply Vote your veiws about this with out flames LET THEM KNOW WHAT WE THINK!!!

    The Aim Of the Poll!!!
    Evony is trying to get players to spend $30 as an result you will get the $50 free gift package however what im saying is inside the free gift "contents" would that make you insterested in spending the $30 between 4th - 10th of june thats what the poll is aiming at this "feed back" may help Evony understand what kind of things players would want when paying real money

    Stupid question maybe but, wouldn't an event of this TYPE be more successful if the game itself was worth spending $30 on?

    Comparisons,
    $30 is equal to more than 10 gallons of gasoline
    2 months on WOW
    2 months on EVE
    or 2 or more months on other gaming sites
    or far more value in Virtual game currency in so many other places

    I still like what I see
    however, lets not get over anxious to inflate the value of a work in progress.

    In order for it to be a poll, doesn't there have to be....well....a poll somewhere in here?

    Also if you spend a bit of money on this game ($30), you get a free package worth $50 for no extra cost......which makes it free.

    Where is the scam in that? the bonus package is free just as it states it is.

    It is no different than sales we had in the early 70's
    Buy one speaker get the other speaker free
    of course the price of the first speaker was NOT ON SALE pricing
    in fact LIST pricing is rarely a true representation of value.

    I would ask ,, how much time do the items provide me in savings
    How much time would it take to get that cash?
    Is my time in a game , or is the time I save by using an item
    and spending cash a DEAL or a Steal and which side is favored more in the transaction?

    Anyone ever expect to pay sticker on a new car?

    roflmfao what are you ppl on jesus quote " Also if you spend a bit of money on this game ($30), you get a free package worth $50 for no extra cost......which makes it free. " evony advertising quote " EVONY FREE FOREVER " while ppl keep spending money on it they will never stop charging for things i personally think if they advertise evony as free forever then you should not hav to spend money on it to get your gifts.... this is a case of false advertisement and therefore ppl could be sued!!!!

    With this promotion, Evony is loosing income by marginalizing players with lower revenues.

    By setting the bar at 30$, Evony is excluding pple who are only ready to commit to a 5~10~20$ payment. This is especially true for would-be first-time customers who want to try out the store for the first time... So the 30$ purchase requirement really goes against the aims of running a promotion in the first place. It's also excluding low/modest income players. Management should reconsider the disposable revenu an average player can cough up within 6 days... coming from a game promoted as "free forever".

    To include everyone, the promotion should have had a lower price bracket to include the 5~10~20$ purchase range. For all the above, it should also have been in the form of a certain % bonus to the bulk of game coins purchased.

    I knew they would stick some speakers in there somewhere! I really would spend the $30 for the package deal had it give you 2 medals of every type. That's all I ask for... you can keep the speakers!

    And 20k of each resources. I suppose it gives you an advantage beginning on a server ... but that's about it. I'd rather take 1 of each produce item, even the 24 hour kind.

    I still maintain a special offering 500 cents for $5.00 would yield far more
    net profits than any other special they could run.
    A true 1-1 ratio of real life cash to VIRTUAL non existant currency.

    Regardless of the actual worth of the "prize",I thought that in game message was sublimely funny!Sounded like some old,cheaply done radio pitch for used furniture.
