    Default Evony, fail at game making, or genius marketers?

    In consideration of the different resource demands between new and established players, the team has adjusted the purchasing power of the Buy Resources system so as to offer players the best buy.

    Let’s check it out.

    Originally, the purchasing power was 1 Cent = 4,000 Food, 4,000 Lumber, 2,000 Stone or 1,600 Iron. Now, the newly adjusted system allows players to purchase more resources however still spending the same amount of game cents as before. Now, the new adjusted system takes in consideration the level of your town hall and resource fields, which means now you’ll be able to gain up to 15 times the amount of resources on the original purchase. Your city running out of resources? Get these great buys by a simple few clicks.
    So what this means, in effect, is that its encouraging players to buy resources with coins to supplement barb farming to hold EVEN MORE massive armies. Which they will then have to continue to buy coins worth of resources to support, leading to a never ending cycle.

    Shrewd.

    Pretty sure it was designed to give incentive to still use this method in times of need in mid to late game.

    Welcome to Evony, free forever and paid by people who enjoy the game looking for a small edge or means of convenience. Without them, you'd have no sever to play on or forum to complain in.

    don't care about coins. i just think it is annoying that they show up everywhere (want to do this? buy coins first *sigh*)

    FurryBrigade has a point there
    But you got to admit how people could get addicted to this game.
    Well, if there is a system change to how :

    1 warrior can stop 100k of warriors

    and

    how 1 million troops and AT cant be defeated, that would be great! =)

    One of my members did some research and found out that Evony is owned by a company that are "gold farmers'. Pretty much, this is not their only game, they make massive amounts of money, and I think it's a pretty ingenious idea.
    Oh, Let's do it.

    while this may be a somewhat valid point, you have to remember that Evony has actually come a long way since it started, and has a much higher player base than it did before.

    Personally Im not interested in buying Resource, Im happy to trade within my alliance and have done with it.

    but i also feel this was a Good step for evony to take.

    I just find it irritating that the only time we're ever sent system mail these days, its to tell us what *amazing* offers we can get through paying to play.

    Yet the patches and changes that are made are not told to us clearly enough. Perhaps utilising system mail for system updates every once in a while is too much to ask. . .

    FEAR at heart.

    Careful, the irony police around here use the ban cannon.

    We dont arm the irony police with ban cannons. The irony police carry non-lethal ban gas and ban sticks. Their job is merely to break up satirical riots so that the sarcastic populace will return to their sardonic homes as facetiously as possible.

    LMAO

    I love it!
    Don't get me wrong, I love this game. I just hate the way it's handled.
