maybe a better idea not to do things that upset people that badly
Maybe a better idea to shut down innogames?
don't be ignorant. This argument has already been thrashed out in this very same thread. Your argument is that of an over-affluent snob who has no understanding of what any other lifestyle might be like. Apart from the moral bankrupcy of arguing that people with little money have no right to play, you are also forgetting that the cost translates differently in different currencies, and what may seem like a little money to you might be a large amount in other countries - but wait, they don't have a right to play either, right?
A person living in Vietnam, one of the poorest countries to play TW, need only give up 3 bowls of soup each month to pay the increased cost. (bowls of soup are a bad example, as they are quite probably important, but they are the only thing I know the Vietnamese price of off the top of my head)
I never argued that people who are poor have no right to play. (I have no job, live with my parents etc. Yet, I can pay for premium on 2-3 accounts constantly. That is, by myself, not my parents paying for it, me.) I argued if you were so completely poor that you cannot afford the increase of 2 dollars per month, then you shouldn't have been paying before, you should have been putting that money into savings. TW is F2P, they can play anyway.
DarkChaos answered that quite well.
"sector+inflation+inno"
I don't believe that the server cost made any larger difference, the new recruitment weren't the reason for the price change either apparently which have been said several times in the thread. Making up excuses later just shows the lack of common sense.
The inflation should benefit Innogames as people spend more time on games.
And no, I do not like this game and several doesn't. The only thing I want is to win, taking responsibility and finishing what you started is only the right thing to do.
You don't know any of that. If you are buying more servers, starting new games, hiring more staff (which wasn't actually proven), giving out raises etc. you might have to raise costs. The bottom line is, there was reason. Some people just seem to selectively read.
And I laughed, if you hate it so much,
why did you start?
However I can see the reason why the need a larger staff. EA who often fails to deliver quality games made somewhat a rip-off from Tw, however they made it a hundred times better. I still got a lot to try out, it's however a pay to play version unless you don't want to fall behind(not that it wouldn't be possible to play without paying).
I get no joy from this game. The only joy would be to win so that I can quit, either one succeeds or fail.
But in TW, you don't fall behind, and that is the attraction.
"If they were that close to the wire, they shouldn't have been buying before."
Isn't a company trying to convince costumers to buy their product even if they lack money? For the money, the customers gain something equal and people would pay a certain amount until a price change occurred which didn't make the game worth it.
Different companies have different business plans. Private jet companies don't market to lower class people, or people in third world countries. You sound like you want to run innogames, yet hate them. Maybe apply for a job?
"Admins aren't payed (though morthy is technically a CM?). There are all of 4 people that work for inno who actually have accounts on the forums. They speak through the admins/CMs."
Using what you can use.
DC already proved me wrong, so nether this nor what I previously said has any standing.
"oooh, insults, how mature"
That's how I see them and it's not just an insult, it's my and several peoples picture of them.[/QUOTE]
No, its plainly and simply an insult.
All Admins are paid Innogames employees. And i can count 31 posts made by them.
I know people on the breadline who can afford an extra few ££ a month for pp. So i'm pretty sure it isn't that hard to manage.
Thought it was on Community managers :/
meh
