    It's total BS, what about the people who have already purchased coins in the past, if I hada known that there were gonna be promotions like this crap, I would have waited to buy coins. It's a total slap in the face to people who have already spent money in the past. Screw Evony

    Anyone can value a generic ballpoint pen at $3 and throw in a generic pack of gum that's claimed to be worth $5.

    Same with the amulets, which offers a random items that are arbitrarily valued. Even if it wasn't, if we compared the average of 24 cents compared to what's on the wheel, it kind of disappoints. There are usually items with high values (some of them being items people don't want, like speakers), yet the average is 24 cents. Besides, it's hard to know the value of some items. For all I know, food could be worth 10 cents, while iron is worth 25 cents.

    I think Evony needs a research/survey team, a marketing team with long-term vision, and more customer service representatives who are in touch with their customers. It's gimmicks like this, along with certain overpriced items, that angers both customers and potential customers.
    This is different than your example. You can view the items in the package and see their fixed cost in the shop. Add them up and it comes out to $50 worth of items if you were to buy them with Cents in the shop. We didn't simply make up the value, its what they sell for on a daily basis. I hope that makes sense (pun intended).

    This is not a fair criticism. Every business enterprise runs specials and sales from time to time. Customers who bought something at another time have not been "slapped in the face" by the business. They simply made a purchase that they believed to be fair at the time. If you bought items in the past, we appreciate your business, and there is nothing preventing you from participating in this promotion as well.

    Yes this does make sense dawnseeker but what people want out of evony is the fairness of the general value of ther money it seems that these kind of marketing is not only seem over the top money wise but tends to cause problems to players that are not as well off to play pay to play games. Most players that play evony see the advert FREE TO PLAY FOR EVER these players will be cross due to finding these kind of marketing knowing that if you have money you have an advantage.

    "Claim your Free $50 Package..."

    So there actually is some poor shmoe out there who buys speakers in the shop? All you have to do to get speakers is spin the wheel for free... almost guaranteed to get them.

    but it still says insert serial, if someone buys the $30 and passes the serial to another person he'll will get it? i don't believe

    What about the people that have already spent money in the past? UM, LIKE 3 DAYS AGO. Do they get the package? NO, instead evony wants them to cough up a few more bucks. 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.
