    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
    @tentpig: seriously? Strange comparison, you don't go to the cinema EVERY week during 2 years do you?

    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....

    Point is, people have a certain amount of $ they spend on leisure activities. You do not have to be a major coiner in Evony, but in absence of major coin, you have to invest a lot of time. Coining is simply a way to reduce the amount of time you have to spend to be competitive.

    That's an interesting concept. Let's say you made the odds of a successful upgrade for any level 1 out of 100 (1%) if you use 4 flawless. That means it would take 400 flawless on average to complete any one level, or 6500 flawless total to obtain a level 15 star set.

    Server na10 just got its first 15 set, showing how long it takes if you don't just buy it for a small fortune.

    I agree that the star system is overly harsh and that it does appear that the programming is faulty. For myself I got to a 13 set, with rings and charms at 14, and I have stopped trying to upgrade stars any further due the the extreme cost of recovering from a failure and the need to preserve the 13-set life bonus.

    Default What i did to get 15 set

    I just finished the 15 star set on NA10 a few days ago, theres only 2 people that have it on that server.

    Ive only spent $2800 in total (although $1600 was spent during the xmas just gone when evony had the double cents going) all that cash was spent in the last 7 months and i went form a 9 set to 15 set in 6 months all research was at lvl 10 needless to say. Ive never won 1000 cents on the wheel and ive never bothered with comis quests. I estimate ive spent about 1500 cents on adv ports and HH portraits.

    I used the break to make style many use these days and i only got a 14 set by accident on the way to 15 set. (ive seen japanpimps videos and hes got the right idea not sure if hes got the 15 set yet)

    I see many ppl banging on that the odds are not fair and they spent 2700 cents getting back to 12, there is a simple reason for this and thats your missing the logic. It doesnt matter if you want to get a 12 star or 15 star the method is the same try flipping a coin and see how many times you have to flip it to get it to land on heads 6 times in a row. I bet it takes a while thats kinda what most ppl do cause they have fear of loss on the star set. Dont get me wrong some times you can get really unlucky and fail 3 or 4 in a row some times more. I lost my temper 4 months ago and broke 5 14s in a row, what the chances of that are im not sure but maybe evony didnt like me that day.

    The method is simple but you have to stick to it or it wont work.

    The concept of stars (coming from a non spender) is a pain in the :mod edit: when you have to farm forever and evony needs to make adjustments to make it fair and not just have 15 sets available for the big spenders. More than 10 people have 15 sets on NA36 and 3 of them are 1 guys alts! Yes 1 guy has his account and 2 other alts that also belong to him that are at 15 set and he dropped at least $8k to get each one to 15 thats $24k. Its ridiculous how expensive this is.

    yea but the 2-10 people who have dropped $2000-$30,000 fund the server the price varies based on luck and how long you are willing to farm so some one on a early server like na 10 can farm for a years and get a 15 set with modest spending some one who wants to get ti the first week of a server will have to drop real money real quick. But if you do not like a game that costs 2000-30,000 to be top dog in then play another game their are games out their where for $500 you can be the top dog and if you are unwilling to spend then you will never be top dog.

    nobody drops 20-30k $ on an age 2 server lol, worst cost ive heard from the ppl i know with 15 sets is 7k$

    and your post is nonsense, i know non coiners who are beasts, better than those whove spent even 100s, depends on your work rate, and luck on the wheel also helps

    I've spoke to ppl that have 15 sets on other severs and compared what i did to get the 15 set and some have spent well over $10k and dont even have the 15 set.

    Its all down to how you star as well as a bit of luck. I see ppl trying to auto star upto 14 or 15 every day. This is not going to work, its like trying to flip a coin 6 times and get it to land on heads every time
