they took off the fb amkies
Implications of getting ridding Minor Fortune Packs
1. Speakers. The game will be dramatically less social as speakers are won almost daily....when we had Minor Fortune Packs...
2. People who do not spend, or spend that much will not have as good as hero gear,
2.1 - Wont have as good as star sets vs people who do spend who have alot better star sets completely un-balancing the game
2.2 people who spend have more access to amulets as you receive loads in happiness packages
2.3 People will not be able to rank up as fast who dont spend as much wil be stuck at ranks like baron and viscount 6 months into a server as the wheel provides a few medals a day
3. (Money-Related again) The server will be massively divided for a very long period of time between people who spend and dont spend for the reason above in 2.1 - 2.3. Usually you get the people, like myself, who spend to exeede faster at the start then a couple of months later most people are at the same level as in gear and rank etc.. NOW for people who dont spend or dont spend as much will probably take 6 months minimum to get Prinzessin and half decent gear and stars. By this time every one like myself will have claimed everything on the server leaving no room for anyone else besides those who spend lots. Thus the game will die. You will have coiners, who are limited to who they can fight because the game population will be significantly LOWER.
4. Stratagems. These drop of the wheel every day multiple times. So people who spend have basically full access to these and people dont spend or spend that much will have almost no access to these as the wheel drops resources most of the time.
Logically, people who spend should have acess to more...thats the way evony works. But the way Age II has worked since its inception has been perfect...gifting wise anyways.....but now The access to people who dont spend/or spend some.... has significantly widened. The way it was before was fine...Coiners rule for first couple of months, then everyone elses catches up rather quickly...now there is no catching up....
What there is now is protests and uproars and uprises (no punn intended *WINK* )
People have been angry about bugs you have fixed in the past but they were bugs...not part of the game...this how ever will probably kill evony....
Im one away from a 15set on NA33....I have a 16 and some Hhs and good troop count...Its gonna stay that way for ever cause I am...aslong this decision is in place...I am not moving server...or spending money!

[World]<02:09>[LazyLew]: Hey...I just met you.....and this is crazy.....so here's my co-ods....now spam me maybe
Every decision evony makes about the game and changing its mechanics is a financial one. Anyone who things the decision to remove amulets from FB gifting was anything but a strategic business decision to encourage people to coin for items rather than win them on the wheel, is deluding themselves.
i think they should just be truthful for a change
they took away facebook amulets because you need to buy them if you want more than one a day, it's all about the bottom line
so the advantage is back to the coiner in a big way
if you want to play for free, you can, but be prepared to get smacked, because without coining in age2 you cant get your heroes up, you can't get historical heroes, and just like in age1... it's all about the heroes baby
Soon Evony wont be "free forever", Evony will be taking more and more things off...if Evony doesn't fix this in 2 months they wont have any none-coiners and soon servers will be less populated and no one likes that...and then Evony will break apart.
I have played evony since civony, so i'm a big fan...it would suck to leave evony behind. I am a none-coiner now, so if i wont be getting ammies i'm probably going to leavefor no chance against Coiners.

Retired Evony Veteran<<<<< BACK AND KICKING! NA-54 Alpha host
My wife has been asking me for the last 2 years "why do u play that stupid game?"..................errr thing is im not sure I know anymore.
I got a sugestion though....screw fb just give us the 20 ammys a day instead of 1 !!
....it has always been part of the appeal of ageII that there was always a chance you might spin that last medal that you couldnt get to drop, speedups for ur new hc, materials for gear or on that odd occasion some cents.. how good does it make you feel to win some cents??..its appeals to our human nature thats why so many of us play the lottery for the "chance to win" and evony nailed it by adding it into ageII .... but its hardly our fault FB are giving them grief and they cant deal with the hackers and botters is it??
But take away peoples chance to win descent prizes (however remote and with one ammy a day i think i have more chance of winning a real lottery!!) and you will take away peoples "Hope" of improvement and without that "hope" they may just question the very reason they play the game.....
people were "annoyed" about multi tap and royals but they ARE "upset" about ammys. and thats not the emotional response you ever want to bring out in people!! they dont tend to stick around....collected my last 9 ammys off fb yesterday and already I just cant be bothered to log in...![]()
It Will be Free Forever. Getting in the game will always be free. Cause it's good for the business
They'd have A LOT less players if there was a amount of $ u gotta pay before you start up.
People come and start playing.. Get to know a few ppl.. Then they see they gotta spend a bit to be good etc. Step by step they become addicted coiners.
i think everyone should just calm down a realise that it is done
no amount posting on these forums will change anything
there has never been anything evony decided to do reversed because of a forum revolt
i mean really, how many suggestions have ever been implemented?
threats of no coining are pointless threats,
they'll believe it when they see it and they won't see it
the majority of evony players will always put their ego with their credit card and pay to win
evony doesn't care about you, it is a business
the only posts in this thread by an evony rep told you "this is why" didn't ask "why is is this bad?"
did evony ask anyone what their biggest complaint about age2/facebook and get an overwhelming "we hate amulet gifting!!"?
how many years did people complain about the facebook speech text?
they changed it because they know people will buy speech text to save their historic cities
they introduced facebook amulets gifting to get evony players connected to facebook, facebook is their new bff, not you
they did this to expand the brand, it had nothing to do with improving the player experience
so wake up and smell the coffee
if you aren't happy about this find a different game, because it's here to stay

If you’re not happy with it, then Quit as there’s no point in voicing your opinions to evony as they do not clearly listen to their customers.
