Most players that play evony see the advert FREE TO FOR EVER these players will be cross due to finding these kind of marketing knowing that if you have money you have an advantage.
    I play Evony and I am very competitive. I have also never spent any money on the game, nor do I receive any free items based on my position. I have put the screws to plenty of players who have spent money on the game. This game is certainly free forever if you wish it to be.

    That said, we are a business and the servers are not free to run, nor could we afford to work on the game for free or continue to support it for free. We really love the "Free Forever" model because everyone can participate at the level they wish to. If you want to be a hardcore power player and help support the game at the same time, you can. If you want to relax and never pay a dime, but just build a kingdom slowly or pick an occasional fight with your neighbors, you can do that too. How you play is completely up to you!

    It's not free if I have to spend $30 of REAL money!!!
    You are spending $30 for 300 Evony Cents. The Bonus Package is free, because it doesn't cost anything.

It's poor marketing and a GIANT FU to the paying players. Good luck keeping a fan base with such a poorly run game. By the way this asian run company needs to fire their current interpreter cause the in-game english is horrible.
    As I mentioned before: if you went to Best Buy and bought a Xbox 360 and then the next week you came back and it was on sale, would you yell at the manager and be outraged? Of course not. How is this any different?

    Yes i agree with you 100% but what im trying to say or explain is most of your players in evony probly only play because its a free game. Thats why most of the time alot of players tend to go over the top when seeing marketing like this kind favor the rich. However all players should know its a bussiness and i agree money should be made but the point EVONY needs to understand that the value of there items and ingame cent are way above a pay to play game. For example... its like 1 ingame cent to nealy $2 around that..

    Dawnseeker - I don't want to come off the wrong way, as if I'm tick off or anything (cause I'm not), but honestly... this package seems a little out of touch with what more of the long time players would desire or need. I think the Evony team should have made two packages, one to appeal to newer players, and one more directly aimed at more advanced players. Or something that contained some game cents or free amulets so people have some more exciting options/potential from the bonus package.

    slap in the face? maybe.. but thats life.. there are TONS of companies that will have SALES and PROMO's.. w/o having a giant notice. i mean sure some people are such tightwads that they will take a sweater back to walmart when they see they are "ROLLING BACK" prices but seriously... do you want Evony to lay out their yearly promo schedule so u know when to buy and when not to? that would kinda hinder their income, no?

    If you were to go to Best Buy and do as you suggested they would honor the price difference! Most large chain stores in the US will always honor a sales price if the item goes on sale within a certain period of time from the purchase date, in most cases it is up to 30 days after purchase. For those who dont all you would have to do is return the item for your full money back and then repurchase the item at sale price!

    The package is only worth 11 dollars when you consider what most people want. Medals are available...20k resources is a joke...the only things good are the guidelines and the script. My suggestion for next time would be:

    Michelangelo`s Script 1 -5$
    Intermediate guidelines 4 -8$
    Master Guidelines 1 -8$
    Ultimate Guidelines 1 -12$
    Advanced Teleporter 1 -9$
    Napolean`s Diary -3$
    Aries Amulet 10 -5$


    That package would get people buying cents. What is offered now is a waste of all of our time to be fair.

    Who else will spend 30$ if the package consists of what I propose?

    Ummmmmmmm, Best Buy would let me return the item and purchase it at the discounted price, I've done it before. Besides, Best Buy does a better job at advertising their sales, so I would actually know when the item is going on sale.

    The reason Best Buy would let me return the item in exchange for the discounted price is because Best Buy actually cares about their customer base. They actually listen and work with the customer to retain their business. Evony apparently needs/wants more money to keep evony "free forever". Which by the way is joke.

    No matter how you spin it, absolutely NOTHING is free if you have to spend money to get it. Absolutely nothing. I think this is a pure and simple example of the owners' inabilility to grasp the English language.

    As for the poll, I would have liked to have seen another option. The answers were a bit too specific, I guess. Perhaps "No, it's not worth it" without the balance of the statement. I'll continue to play for free, or perhaps, later, spend some real cash.
