c'mon..leave the economy alone. that is not the solution when you have problem in a recession. more...it will create a problem.
Just want to point out that the economic climate never was a reason to update the premium prices.

Well I don't mind paying a nominal fee to be able to play the game on a worldwide server with full features...but this price rise does make me think twice...especially given that it seems more an more unlikely that it's actually costing them that much more to host the game
how does that work, when people stop playing in droves because they can't justify or afford the increased premium costs? Then you just have less paying customers, and that is going to be all the people that are unable to buy larger packages - probably most customers. OK, so they are going to be replaced by a new generation of players in the log run that don't know better (and don't mind having their attack speeds auto regulated lol)
I hope you are going to make this game really damn hot to attract all those new players, because wahtever you've been doing in the last 18 months sure hasn't done it
Yes, but in the past 3 1/2 years Gas prices have increased more than once. This is the first time that Innogames have increased their prices. Same with Groceries, their prices fluctuate regularly but Innogames' do not. Though personally, if the increase had been 5% i still believe that this opposition would occur.

mod's u all talk a good game but you lack relevance in your arguement's , all i'm a going to say is booooooo on you all for siding with inno on this when you should be sticking up for the player's , and to the player's leave inno to rot and go under for trying to screw the dedicated player's it has/had and let a new company rise up and be counted .
Don't use it. It does not offer any advantage over the already coloured dots on the villages.I play world 2. You're saying the political map isn't available for use
No, I don't. Have always and will always use the classic view. It is simpler.you don't use the new graphics interface
Not really. Our forum system for claims work well.your tribe does not use the new claiming system
The map has not changed that much since I started playing W13.and you do not use the new Map?
The request for discount was more tongue in cheek (although it would be nice to have it for older worlds). Should have added a smiley.I understand what you are saying though. However, a compromise with prices is not up for discussion, though that would be preferable to most.
so if you want a 40% price rise, raise it 8 times by 5% - people will not complain greatly. Don't save it up for years then hit us with 40%. Either way stop harping on about how it didn't rise for years. Who cares? That was Innogames choice, not something the players lobbied for. How is that a justification? As if WE are somehow responsible for this situation...:icon_rolleyes:
Perhaps it's a bit unclear, but you will get more days, during the initial conversion that is. You object to this because you'd rather receive less as opposed to more premium than that you paid for? I'm afraid that even the best public relations bureau could not predict such a reaction.
Lied? I certainly hope not. Could you point out where, please?
Though I can understand that it looks a bit fishy from many people's perspective, changing the system is not an attempt to hide things from the players. ...and if it was, it'd be a rather poor attempt considering the fact that the increased prices are posted in Tribalwars-wide announcements across all versions.
sorry, but you are funnier with every post. Really you are. You negate everything that happened with the technology over the last 20 years. Go for it mate!

For the SOS feature that came at the same time, I have had to write a tool to make it usable. With the current format posting 500 attacks coming at 200 villages just gets ugly on the forums.

I do understand that there have been many features implemented and upgrades across all worlds. But most of the big updates (version updates) are not implemented on older worlds.
The main idea of my previous post though was not the availability of features, but my take on the price increase.

That would be if Innogames was trying to earn more profits. this is a necessary development so that they can remain competitive in the economic climate - in a sense, they did not have a choice. I do not know everything about the situation, but if they could stagger it like you suggest i am sure they would.
remain competitive in the economic climate
The price increase I understand. The change of structure in the point system is extremely fishy
Either a marketing move -- seems you are getting more bang for your buck at first uneducated glance - OR -
Innogames wants this change made now to pave the way for "pay as you go" type features. As it stands now, 1 Premium Point is fairly valuable and not useful to use as a type of currency/resource in game. But multiply the 1 PP by 46 and it's suddenly a more useful commodity. Spend 1 PP and get a faster Barracks for the day, spend 10 PP and get a half priced noble, etc, etc. Such changes would be extremely unpopular UNLESS:
There was a beta world where such features could be tested for popularity/game breaking before going live to .NET and elsewhere. hmmm convenient that there's a new beta world???
I doubt that the community staff or the game developers would be aware of the plan yet. Inno might be laying the groundwork for such a new type of pay for extras feature to be implemented later if they so decide. My opinion of course.
I agree, I think it is pretty obvious we are going to see changes in the way you can spend your PP’s, that is if it is not a sly ploy to make it look like your getting more for your money.
Just look at other InnoGames, take The West for example, you can buy different Premium advantages for different amounts of ‘Golden Nuggets’.
Why would you need to buy 100’s or 1000’s of PP’s unless there is to be a new system where you can split these points up to buy different Premium features?
Come on you Mods.. please categorically deny that there are plans or discussions to change the Premium system form the current Full Premium futures on a time basis, to a pay as you go selective feature system like the one used in ‘The West’.
You are right, not all improvements apply to older worlds, but a lot of them do, and so will a lot of future improvements. If you just look back at the last few years improvement-wise you will find most improvements (besides new building/ units) were enabled in all worlds while the premium price has never gone up till now.
The argument that most of the new features don't apply to older worlds is not correct.
