    So you all seem to be focusing on spending the money just to get this package? Why? All that's happening is you're spending $30 to get the things you want, and Evony throw you some free goodies, cool, thanks, back to the game.

    Seems to me it's just the wording used that's pi$$ing everyone off about this offer. If it didn't say free package worth $50, and just said bonus package, nothing else, would this even be an issue? Now I'm gonna go read some Blegemoth posts to feel better.

    The "package" offer is a junk pile of a joke. Don't do it unless you enjoy wasting money.
    "Forever Free" ....until they come to some sort of sense of reality.

    need a fifth option, I would if the recent problems were resolved.

    Ex. my troops are still missing and so far I've only gotten a message stating that they will only be restored if it was from the rollback.

    Short answer: package isn't worth it to me; Aleksander's suggested package sounds about right.

    Long answer: the prices which Evony has assigned to their items are arbitrary and do not reflect their actual value to a player.

    Because of the incongruity of these prices and actual worth, everything derived from this seems misleading and perpetuates the sense of nearsighted marketing. Does Evony realize that players are laughing at the idea that the Wheel of Fortune average value is 24 cents? It all comes down this disjunct of price and worth. How many players, upon receiving a "Ritual of Pact worth 500 cents!" would rather have been awarded 5 cents worth of food? If Evony can't answer that question, then they don't know what their players' game experience is like. Further, if they don't understand how utterly worthless "5 cents of food" is...well, you can fill in the rest.

    One more thing...all of the posts complaining about the terrible English in game text are absolutely right. It really detracts from the game. Fix it please.

    The real baloney is that the price of everything in Evony is terrible. The reason we're latching onto this free 50 dollars worth of stuff is because we'd like for the price of the 30 dollars of stuff plus the free stuff to be worth about 30 bucks, but it's not.

    beginner guidlines 10 - worth NOTHING
    primary guidlines 5 - worth NOTHING
    speaker 10 - worth NOTHING
    20k of all resources - worth NOTHING
    michelangleos script 1 - worth a lot, these are awesome, still not worth 5 dollars
    Cross medal 3 - Worth NOTHING
    lion medal 1 - worth NOTHING
    wisdom medal 3 - worth NOTHING
    freedom medal 3 - worth a little bit now that they've nerfed high level barb town farming
    napoleons diary 2 - worth very little, I have some, never use them

    so in all the bonus package looks to my sensibilities to be worth about........ 5 dollars tops. If all of these items are worth the prices they say they're worth then fine let us trade in the items we think are junk so that we can buy items that are useful to us.

    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!
    Very true... i have spent money on the game before and it didnt realy give me any edge over othe rplayers it just made me grow a little quicker... also the server upkeep point is very fair becaus eif people didnt spend money we would still have those horrible old laggy servers.

    Tbh i think so people are looking for an excuse to rant... if an xbox went on sale and you had already bought it people wouldnt have the guts to go and rant at the manager but over the internet its differnt... because its anonamus people dont care (sorry about my spelling!)

    However on a side note i do feel evonys items are well over priced... i could get more than that for $5 on a far more advanced internet game...

    Make the package better or you will see no ris ein sales making it a total waste of your time.. ITS THAT SIMPLE
