Thread: Pay to Stay

  1. #1

    Default Pay to Stay

    A portion of my upcomming review....
    And yes I protect my name.

    I've played a lot of games and Evony is somewhere around ok.
    Evony gets huge marks for giving every one 100cents and 10 amulet for a few hours down time. (unheard of actually) Kudos

    However, there is to much of a difference between the payers and the freeers.
    Free players have no hope against the paying players. Or those that have figured out how to manipulate IEvony. And that is not hard at all...

    So back to the free player.... He or she eventualy will become stuck. Can't get the medals to expand.... well if your patient and have a month to kill, you can do it, maybe. Or spend a hundred bucks and it's yours.... till the next level.

    No point signing as my game name has nothing to do with anything.

    The compensation package ain't all that great. The Wheel of Fortune stinks, and the only use I can find for the 100 cents is Mich Scripts.

    THIS IS A FREE GAME, REMMEMBER! they don't have to give u 100 cent compensation and they don't even have to give u the wheel. It is your own choice to either pay for this game or not, and u don't have to pay for this game to become powerful either.

    I just want to address the common theme I see quoted often that because the game is free "They don't have to give you anything." This is nonsense. A big part of any business is customer retention/relations and it's an everyday part of marketing strategy. Competition is so fierce that giving customers something free or of perceived value such as faster customer service is often critical.

    Take fast food places, giving free water vs. charging for the cup and ice can seem small, but can influence the customers over all perception of the company's "brand".

    Taking steps to positively boost your brands image is like breathing. A company has to do it in today's economy.

    Players that pay are what Evony wants to retain. Freeloaders that will never spend a penny can move on for all they care.

    And you didn't think that free package was a cup of water then? They made an offer and people only seems to complain even more.

    Wal-Mart doesn't have to worry about their image. Everyone knows how Wal-Mart operates but yet people still flock to their stores at 1AM because of their low prices.

    there is no difference between 'payers' and 'players'.

    i've spent 100 bucks on the rewards program and my coins are wasted on the wheel of fortune because there is nothing worthwhile to buy.

    even then if you can't withstand an attack from a 'payer' then they have more skill than you because defense has ALL the advantage in this game.
    You have been banned for the following reason:
    Repeated and constant insulting of members and total lack of respect for authority.
