Benjamin, as it was put to us from the management of Innogames...
" You can always lower prices and make the game cheaper to play, but if we made it cheap to begin with and then raised prices people would all scream and complain and it would never happen... better to charge more, optimise the game and reduce the price to get the balance right than less and be stuck with it!"
Yeah it means we are paying more now, and yes I am one of the people who is paying more, but the way I see it personally, i'm paying to help develop the game I want to play, if I buy a game like Civ or Heroes, I usually pay before even trying the game, and usually $100+ for the game, hell when I signed up to Star Trek Online I just bought a lifetime membership... $500 or there abouts for that game (and I still only get on once a week if im lucky, I play this every day)... you get what you pay for, and I don't have a problem helping pay for the development, if you think diamonds are to expensive, don't buy them you can play without them, or just buy a few and use them strategically....
On the positive vain the thread was intended... THANKS
we are also enjoying the game, and the devs are doing a great job, thankyou to them for creating a great game...
