@tentpig: seriously? Strange comparison, you don't go to the cinema EVERY week during 2 years do you?I have no idea why you think Evony is an expensive game to play. As a rank 1 player with a 15 star set, I've spent perhaps $500 on this game over the past two years that I've played it
I have no problem spending money on a game. If you buy a game in the store or online you pay $50 something (40 EUR) and you can play for some months for that money. Even if you calculate the cost of sharing a server online you pay about 5$ a month, in 2 years I would say $170 is more than enough to pay.
Of course, anyone can decide for his own how much he wants to spend on a game but that's how I make the comparison...
The problem is that you can't play against money... even if you are a better player than the 'bad playing big coiner' and didn't make your 14-15 star set, you can forget it. You can beat his troops but you will waste more of them...
I did realize this went I started the game but was too curious about the battle mechanics. It was fun until only the big coiners on the server we left over...
And no, starting on a new server is not on my list. The fun is in the battles not in farming medals and gems....
