    Vacation modes are too easy to abuse; all you have to do is attack someone and then slap on VM and bam! No retalliation.

    No one's gunna do that like this.
    Although, I don't know if many people will use it at all...again.suts me; I don't think there should be a VM regardless.

    Absolute garbage that you have to make money on even this aspect of the game. Way to figure out how to charge for people who will not actually be playing the game.

    Takes some rather large testicles to tell your customers who want a break you will now charge them NOT to play.

    Should have charged a set amount or even a percentage of resources in the city. This takes resources out of circulation and forces the player to play even more. To make it easier they could buy cents if they wanted, but the way you have it set up a player is FORCED to pay if they want a break for any reason and want to protect the city.

    I see alot of complaints from people about Evony "free" Forever saying your actually charging. I have always said thats not true because you can get drops and still raise city levels to lvl 10. So in theory your not forcing anyone to pay to play.

    With this system your forcing people to pay to NOT play if they want city to come back to.

    Way to let us have a vacation from Evony. Be nice if Evony took a vacation from our wallet at the same time.

    Garbage

    Allow me to correct something.

    Didn't you mean "Proud to dip our hand into your wallet if you want a game to come back to after your vacation?"

    MY LETTER TO EVONY

    This has to be the ultimate in all rip offs to date. I can not believe you are charging for vacation mode. Every other game I have played offers vacation mode as a FREE option. What the heck are you guys thinking? You are penalizing people for taking a vacation? Vacations are good for everyone and they are not for you to take advantage of. Also, not everyone can put money onto the game, especially kids. Also, not all kids have the option to stay at home when their parents go on vacation and they take their kids with them. I expect a reply to this message explaining to me how you justify charging for vacation mode. I assure you that when I go on vacation I will not pay for vacation mode and when I get back to a dead account I will be done with the game. So, vacation mode will eventually lose you one account.

    There is no need to profit from someones vacation. If you need more money charge more for other stuff.


    ALSO... if someone is on vacation and can not play the game how are they going to log in every 2 days to extend???????

    I think VMs are bad for most people, who take advantage of it. This is their way of absolutely preventin' most VM abuse and makin' a potential profit at the same time.

    Also, it said you can increase in increments of two days. If you're goin' to be awya for a fortnight then increase it to 14 days before you leave.

    RIP OFF,

    I have seen games like this that let you have a holiday mode for FREE and for as long as you want,

    Because you can not get stronger or weaker when in this mode so who cares, it should be FREE and at least let a player go into holiday mode 3 times a year for as long as they like,

    Just Evony being money grabbers again.

    Obviously they have figured out how to make money off the people that are quitting in droves.
    If you quit, the last thing you would do is activate vacation mode.
    If you did, you would have to be either crazy or stupid or crazy-stupid, or, or...

    ...sorry, it just isn't a sane discussion point.

    To the people who think vacation mode can be abused read how ti works... paying has nothign to do with not abusing it. Your accoutn get frozen, existing attacks still hit you. There is nto benefit to using vacation mode for anything other than vacation. There is not need to charge for it. This is a low life tactic to scam money. If they want mre money charge more for other things.
