Thread: Are those who don't pay to play limited?

Hybrid View

  1. #1

    Default Are those who don't pay to play limited?

    I have a simple goal in playing this game. I will not purchase anything. I see purchasing as a "cheat" of sorts, and refuse to do so.

    Will I be limited in accomplishments if I don't pay? How does one obtain things such as Michaelangelo's Script without buying them? Would you rather purchase the game to begin with, and have performance and strategy entirely tied to skill rather than money?

    It would depend on what server you play on. If you play on anything newer than 60, your have a better chance at winning medals and michaelangelo scripts from the wheel than you do from attacking. However, you can get the scripts from npc city's level 5 or higher.

    They "claim" you can progress all the way to end-game w/o paying for anything. I suppose technically they are correct.... although it'll probably take more years than are available in a typical human lifespan to win what you actually need to finish.

    Well glad I stumbled on this thread, because I came into the Forum to vent about how System no longer stocks/drops NPC 10's with Michaelangelo Scripts. I really think it's a conspiracy to get us to spend money on them. They used to be relatively easy to get from a 10, say five or ten percent of the time. Now all you get as a prize is a stupid medal that is worthless except to bribe heros with, or just maybe a holy water or speaker. Both useless to me.

    I think Evony has gotten too bloated and too greedy. I do spend money on stuff, and I wonder if some of these items are dropped so that the player gets hooked or dependent on having them.

    more time wasted chasing electrons around an imaginary world

    You will not be limited. Some of our oldest and most successful players have never made a purchase.

    Actually yes, you are limited in what you will be able to do. Unless you are lucky enough to win all your Michaelangelo Scripts on the Wheel of Misfortune. And you will need at least 6 of them. How lucky do you feel? For them to say you are not limited is a rediculous claim. You have as much chance of hitting the Lotto as you do getting the Mikey Script from the Wheel.

    I think personally tha te people that made evony have put alot into it and have paid for the website and for our immense enjoyment some of the members choose to get coins to help themselves and give back to the makers of evony. if they didnt evony prolly would downgrade alot because they wouldnt have any money to pay their staff and keep the site running without losing their money.
