    Default Post your opinion of the Christmas/New Years Package here!

    This is a simple thread to let Evony know how we feel about their new packages. Please do not post a comment saying "do not buy this package" or the thread will be closed. Thanks!

    They are not purchasing packages, they are purchasing cents only.

    A person purchased $30 worth of cents. They then received a christmas package FREE and were able to send a special christmas package to a friend FREE.

    Say a person purchased $30 worth of cents and a friend sent them a special package. They would then have received:

    1. Christmas package worth $15 FREE
    2. Special christmas package FREE
    3. Buff FREE
    4. A friend has a buff for FREE too
    5. A friend has a special christmas package FREE too

    So for $30 worth of cents, that is one of our most comprehensive packages for free we have ever given out. A total of five items (3 of which a purchaser would obtain for themselves, 2 for others).

    You didn't purchase $30 worth of cents? You still obtained the buff free.

    Now knowing the full extent of these purchases, i now see this is a great package and well worth your money if your serious about this game (:

    P.S. I'll be the first to post. You may follow (:

    I think it's a great package. So far all of their special packages have been well worth the price and they only seem to be getting better.

    Actually, I think the real good deal and obviously everybody is happy and enjoying and had benefitted is the zero upkeep. Now, it'll be interesting if they can sell zero upkeep as an item. Now that'll be wonderful.

    I wish I knew what the new years package is but as we can't log on that would be impossible.

    Default My Opinion.

    *Please note that I have not bought either packages. Many of my friends have and this is a combined opinion.

    The Christmas package was designed to gift 'milk and cookies' to all friends who are associated with a player who bought the Christmas Package. In my opinion, this was hardly a benefit. Christmas is about giving and letting those know you care about them. I mean the 'milk and cookies' was creative but it was hardly worth a 30 USD package.

    In order to open the Christmas chest you needed a special key. The Christmas Chests are obtained through buying the package as well as gifted by friends who purchase the same package. The Package also grants you with a key to open the Chest.

    I think Evony should have granted all of its players with some coins. I understand how this could be risky to do but if you only granted say 20, it wouldn't make the game unfair.

    I will edit this post when the New Years package comes out and/or when I receive more information about this topic.

    *Please note: I will not and am not trying to influence players to not buy this package. I am simply sharing my opinion of these two items.

    You are incorrect in your post. They are not purchasing packages, they are purchasing cents only.

    A person purchased $30 worth of cents. They then received a christmas package FREE and were able to send a special christmas package to a friend FREE.

    Say a person purchased $30 worth of cents and a friend sent them a special package. They would then have received:

    1. Christmas package worth $15 FREE
    2. Special christmas package FREE
    3. Buff FREE
    4. A friend has a buff for FREE too
    5. A friend has a special christmas package FREE too

    So for $30 worth of cents, that is one of our most comprehensive packages for free we have ever given out. A total of five items (3 of which a purchaser would obtain for themselves, 2 for others).

    You didn't purchase $30 worth of cents? You still obtained the buff free.

    Yea, but if you actually bought it for $30 and opened it, im sure you would find the contents of the package were well worth it....

    Keep in mind this is a business, not a charity. Just because it is christmas does not mean they are required to give everyone something for free. Did mcdonalds give you a free big mac for christmas?

    the food buffs are worth a quarter million food for moderate-sized armies, more for the bigguns.

    You needed a key to open the chest. To do so, meant buying the $30 package to get said key and it is only good for one chest, which means if you got five chests or more, that is a lot of money that you need to spend to get the key to open it with.

    With how jobs are looking and a lot of people are out of work, spending up to $500 to get the keys is not really nice. If the key would be able to be purchased for like say $5 and would open say five chests, you would see a lot of happy people and some who might even buy the $30 package to send more to people.

    Just my opinion on this thing. I'm not even going to buy the $30 because I'm currently $300 in the red in my bank and I need to start saving up my money.

    I think it comes down to this "gift" thing. If evony hasn't made it that one buys a gift for someone, yes gift, and the someone have to BUY and key to open his "gift".

    What if they have named it erm .. Christmas Wow Chest *lol* .. there'll be complains but probably not so heated as in "WHY SHOULD I PAY TO OPEN MY GIFT" .. *lol* or just name it unlock "Santas Mystery Chest" for $30 .. *lol*
