I bought it and I would say the bonus package is totally worthless. I've started playing just over a week and I didn't feel the bonus package at all. So much for giving something useful to the noobs. Next time I will think hard about spending money on this game (by the way I already spent $100) on this game and I feel stupid.

Just a tip to Evony staff - make your paying customers happy and they will spend more and more paying customers will come.
