2,500 crowns for $0.99

[Loonies]

I’m not sure what you mean by “confirmed”, but I’ve seen the ss’s from players who normally spend $100 a week that had broken open their piggy banks to get the offer 100s of times before it was shut down. Dominations.pl should be very interesting in the next few days.

You all speak too much!
don't you understand ?
This game is already dead thanks to Nexon Bugs, glitchs, exploits, free cheating....
No new players, old players quitting...
Nexon knows that and do nothing except trying to make maximum money before the end of the game...

 

[Uberalles]

anything new from the staff?? I got 225.000 crowns and I spent all of them . It, s a legit achizition ? I work a full day and I got 85 % of Saladin . I whant a opinion from the stuff . Thx !

 

[Manifesto]

How, exactly, does Nexon make money selling crowns for .99c ?

 

[True God]

Quit whining it happened and some people benefit from it. Move on.

 

[SirViper]

Actually it’s on Nexon’s end. Google Play is just the processor. They don’t set the price. I’m sure they just view this as a game bug that’s not their responsibility.

Sounds like someone has benefited from this and just wants everyone else to move on.

This is a competitive game where players face off against one another. If a segment of the player-base is allowed to progress faster at fraction of the cost, then players who haven't benefited and also want to progress faster would be be less inclined to purchase crowns at twenty times the price. This also hurts players who have overtime purchased crowns to aid their progress by devaluing their progress in the game. The most common volume of purchase I've heard about so far has been around 100,000 crowns for $40. At regular price currently that would cost $800.

Imagine if you will that you are eating alone at a restaurant and beside you is a table with 20 people. You all finish at the same time and receive your respective bills. Your single meal has cost $20 and the bill for the table next to you that included 20 meals also cost $20. I doubt that you'll ever return to that restaurant ever again.

This can't simply be ignored, something needs to be done.

And at this point, I'm not sure what you expect them to do. The time to roll back is gone; if that happens, it needs to happen within 24 hours, and that window has passed.

Realistically there's not much to be done about it at this point. A segment of the players got a boost, some a small one and a few got a really big one. It is what it is, and it's frankly too late to do much about it.

It doesn't actually change a whole lot about the game though. You were already either facing guys with maxed bases or you weren't. There might be a few more of them now. So what? They're distributed among alliances, so it's not like the benefit was concentrated, and will result in unfair advantages.

The effect is frankly no different than a a small portion of the player base going on a spending spree. You'll likely not even notice it in practice.

 

[Patrick Bardet]

Festivus well done the msot sensible comments on that subject, case closed. Players more advanced than others, paying or not, what's the matter ?
Cheating during attack is the true problem of that game.

 

[GWKdog]

Uninstalling due to fantastically bad customer service, bugs and a completely unbalanced system that just got more Pay 2 Win than it was, a feat.

BHG and Nexon: you can't make money if you lose your playerbase. PEACE.

 

[Manifesto]

Don't forget to leave your rss buildings outside your walls.

 

[Zipo06]

This is when we are going to see if Nexon cares about his customers or is just another boring company. They have a great opportunity to show there is something else than just making a profit.

As I wrote it before, this game is dead. Nexon doesn't work on the game anymore. Bugs are not fixed for mounths (except the ones which make nexon loose money), cheaters do what they want, nexon do nothing and say there is no cheat...
there are no new players anymore, only fake bases in the lower ages, old players give up mostly because of nexon.
And nexon won't do anything about this new problem because most players who bought crowns with this bug are those who spend money in the game.
Nexon won't punish them because they are the last one nexon can make money with, before the game ends, soon....

 

[Manifesto]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Don't forget to leave all rss buildings outside your walls.

 

[Savate]

The number of Cold War Age players increased from 7800 to 8077 over the last few days.

 

[Mcnasty]

The game is dead? Really. I opened my alliance for one day because we were at 19 members. I log on the next day to be at 49 members most of which were Iron Age so as manifesto said “don’t let the door hit you on the way out” cause there’s plenty of players and I don’t think anyone will notice you’re gone

 

[Manifesto]

And an extra 277 says what? Sounds about normal to me.
Maybe these players have been upgrading their TC for the last 2 weeks.
What was the increase 2 weeks ago over a ''few days'' period? What will be the increase in a month's time over a ''few days''?

 

[Zipo06]

Mcnasty and how long will these iron age players play?
We also have a few players joining our alliance, they play a few days and disapear....

 

[cos_pi]

lol, I agree, if you are leaving, please put all workers on farms and carvans and then leave. Atleast we will benefit from this

Not me. I neither buy crowns or get any via in game videos. I just have the game on my smartphone and play whenever . I couldn't give a damn who cheats in any way whatsoever . It's a downloadable game nothing more nothing less. If you wake up tomorrow and find you have 1,000,000 crowns then good luck to you. It's not life and death .

 

[Vixen]

my thoughts ..... Give everyone who didn't buy the crown offer 50,000 free crowns... those who bought it knew it was an error so they don't get to benefit more... then rush space age through please ... but please oh please test the crap out of it first... this testing updates on entire population is not working well
