The distinction between pay vs no pay is already pretty large, but the addition of "Dream Truce" is so large as to break the game.
This will be rescinded, made universal, or I'll have to leave the game, and I suspect many others will as well.

Yup this is ridiculous. It completely removes any vestiges of "Free".
Pay players will now have a massively unfair advantage over those who don't.
Say goodbye to a massive amount of players Evony, this sucks harder than anything else you've done to us so far.
(which I might add includes outright lies, such as we asked for the so called "Call of the Warlords Campaign" which never even existed and still doesn't).

Well I would say there are a few nominations for hardest "suck" thing they have done, but this is definitely in the running.
We also might be jumping the gun. This new dream item might be as common as speakers to drop from the wheel of suck.
That would certainly lessen the "unfair advantage" to pay players.
I'm hesitant about this new item, it seems to create far too much exploit potential. But, let's wait a week or so to see how it really affects gameplay.
At first glance the concept is absolutely insane - a player can schedule truces as many time as they want for each item, and the item neve goes away? It is unclear as to if the player has to pay for each truce session - I truly hope so, at least that would be very expensive for them.
At second glance it appears that at least players will start to provide their schedule to other players as to when they are on/offline if they choose to use this. Assuming most players would normally sleep on avg 3hrs a day, there should still be offline time available to be able to conquer cities, as we all know you CANNOT capture a city when the player is online.
I suggest Evony needs to augment and update the comforting capabilities of a city and how PvP mechanics work on seiges. Currently a player can increase loyalty by 15 every 15 mins by using Prayer - but attacking players cant lower loyalty but 1 every 6 mins once it is under 15. Since attackers can't destroy warehouses, say with catapults, there is no way that an attacker could defeat an online player's city with a warehouse. It is inconcievable! Particularly since Farms are outside of city fortification, why is food production not affected when under attack?
C'mon Evony - I support your need to influx cash into your for profit game, but for every little thing like this you add, you significantly change the game, and it is already overly stacked towards the defensive side. As it stands now, the jury is out on this new 'item' - just not enough detail in the littany of 'packages' that are put together and marketed so that Evony can generate the money it needs to operate and sustain itself.
Cant wait to see it in action however - just hope it doesn't ruin a perfectly good game!

I have paid my fair share to the game but this is too much, I think. May be quiting, give it a week.

Verba satis celant mores, eademque revelant. Words serve to hide one's character as well as show it.
its just another way to get money from people playing this game, just like with the gifts where you send your friends a chest and they have to spend $30 to buy a key just to open it, and if they get 5 chests they have to spend $150 to be able to open all 5 chest, the game is a joke when it comes to items
so soon the rich ppl just can play this game this sucks ...
I need to spend 30$ and i will get this 'dream truce' item?and it will never ends?1payment of 30$ and i have truce overnight for ever?Woow this suxWe all know how much money evony gets-its insane when im geting those gifts in my system mail,its huge money out of one alliance in one server-dont understand how much more they need-this is starting to ruin game a lot.have spent money here but will not spend enything more,just not worth it.
So now people can PAY to log off the game????
I can understand the need for a holiday mode and regular truce (which is too short in my opinion) but this is a HORRIBLE IDEA!
Evony is failing it's players. Period.
What is the point of playing a game that doesn't have enough players in each server, have to travel over an hour to attack anyone worth it only to find out they are in truce because...it's a certain time of day!? Wasting time when you could be farming npc's for precious food for an army you can't produce enough food for?!
Folks who pay to play, and yes I've spent a few bucks on rare occasion, already have a big advantage. But this is outrageous.
Why don't we just take all the people who cannot afford or choose not to buy coins and put them all in one huge alliance. The coiners can declare war on them and stick to them prison style on all their cities. If by chance the non-spenders can recoup and muster up the army and defense to retaliate, just go to sleep and "dream". Does that sound like fun? This is a game after all.
Maybe I'm just in a bad mood.
