Look i understand what you are saying here..but since you cant change a promo,cant you add to it..or make a 2nd promo to go with it. There has literally been half food for friends and alliance mates on all promotions during the last few years and now its changed. I know for one in my alliance on SS1,during the promos, we have many coiners due to the fact that not only are the packages somewhat appealing but the majority of us do this to get our alliance mates and friends 50 percent off. I for one can say i usually spend a lot during your promos and i know many others that do. This is one thing that kept many of us,including people on other servers as well to keep playing by offering the 50percent food buff to all. Please think about adding a new promo or something to go with this to get more people buying cuz i can tell you usually in first 12 hours i have at least 10-15 system mails saying someone has spent,today i have received only 4.
Please reconsider,as i truly believe this is one of those things that keep us spending and also keeps more players on your game.
