As all DomiNations’ players know, progress in the game has value. That value can be calculated with crowns. The recent devaluation of crowns and player progress is what I’ll be calculating and comparing for you today.
There is a formula that has been passed around for a while that somewhat accurately calculates the value of crowns vs hours. The formula is y=5.27x+202.2, y being crowns and x being hours. This formula roughly applies to upgrades that take longer than 24 hours to complete.
Let’s be naive and assume that the average upgrade takes nine days to complete and that four upgrades can be done at the same time. Applying this into the formula (1340.52=5.27(216)+202.2) we’ll get a crown cost of 1,341 crowns (rounded up).
Next, we’ll look at the price of crowns for those nine days in the hands of different players who made use of the recent discount for the crowns vs players who have to pay full price (Android in the US) for crowns. We’ll use the $20 package for crowns as that was the one discounted. Doing so, we’ll then calculate the value of progress for 30 days for each of the two groups of players.
Discounted Value of Progress
$0.99 price/ 2400 crowns = $0.0004125 per crown
$0.0004125 per crown x 1341 crowns = $0.5531625 per 9 day upgrade
$0.5531625 per 9 day upgrade x 4 upgrades at the same time = $2.21265
$2.21265/ 9 days = $0.24585 per day
$0.24585 per day x 30 days = $7.38 value of discounted progression for one month (rounded)
Regular Value of Progress
$19.99/ 2400 crowns = $0.0083291667 per crown
$0.0083291667 per crown x 1341 crowns = $11.1694125447 per 9 day upgrade
$11.1694125447 per 9 day upgrade x 4 upgrades at the same time = $44.6776501788
$44.6776501788/ 9 days = $4.9641833532 per day
$4.9641833532 per day x 30 days = $148.93 value of regular progression for one month (rounded)
As you can see, the difference in the value of one month of progression between the two groups of players is quite large ($7.38 discounted vs $148.93 regular). Before anyone argues crowns sales, I’ll explain a little on that matter. During a crown sale, crowns are advertised for a reasonable amount of time and the value of crowns are reduced for all players, meaning that the value of progress remains the same for all players at that time. Obviously, something must be done about this. BHG and NexonM, we're all still waiting to hear from you.
