I suspect that the developers are wanting ppl to buy medals with real cash and that is the reason for the delay.
I think a lot of ppl are reluctant to use their credit cards with a new company from China but I'm not sure.

Focus groups would be a great idea on this for the company. I also think that a business model that relies on ppl buying items etc might not work and that they should look at using a few ad banners and stuff to pay the bills and make some money while this gets off the ground and UMGE builds a rep for itself as a trusted company. How they would use ads that are targeted to a local business area given that Evony is a global system is up to ppl smarter than me.

I like this game a lot but I, like others, will only put up with so much squeezing before I wash my hands and walk away.

How bout some medals....even if we have to put up with ad banners. We are used to them all over the internet....NE1 listening?
