W3C - Gold Coins in Simcountry

To quote William Bendix in "The Life of Riley"..."What a revoltin' development this is"

Considering Andy's statement from the first post...

"This change will bring us back to the situation when good players used the money they earn, to build their economy, extend their empires, purchase weapons and fight wars."

Playing the game in the above manner renders large account over time.

That is exactly what I've been doing for the past five years. Consequently I have a large account, 7 CEOs and 23 countries across all worlds.

It's been a real challenge, time consuming, and requires you to adapt and pay attention to detail.
And it's not easy, it's anything but easy.

At the end of the day, the game is a lot of fun and a challenge, worth every penny I've ever put into it.
The players are fun, what a collection of "characters".

Perhaps the

Reconsidering the "missions" aspect.

If they were simple enough and cheap enough and aimed at lower level players, it may help quite a bit at integrating them into the game.

To answer NiAi's questions, gold coins will be able to be exchanged for game coin. The inverse of this equation is not true. You cannot exchange game coin for gold coin. It does not, as you suggest, say that you can exchange sim coin for the gold coin. It does say that the rate for exchange from gold to sim will be standardized.

*throws a shoe at T_Mac.

You have totally lost me wif all that coin talk! lol

i dont know what took place here, or opening up old wounds or what not. i left, i did, until i see improvment i will come back. but when i see this in the first few comments of this thread i almost died laughing bbut then i got real sad, i saw this same argument the day i was kicked for voicing my opinon on the way things are ran. this is old news. ..."

Crafty, this might be your solution and you are welcome to have your choice.

Your position is that we must allow you to win enough gold coins each month to keep whatever set of empires you want.

The truth is, that you need to decide how much interest you have in the game and how much you are asble and willing to win and contribute to keep an account.

The choice is yours.
Your reaction is exactly what convinces me that management took here a

its just numb sculling seeing the GM's responces, seriously... we are smarter then that. Opps, should i phrase that as a question? or will this be deleted also?

and this is a forum where we discuse, at least i thought. not to delete ones thoughts, it is a forum. unless its swearing or races or what not, if its directed at the game, its relivant.

let the players talk amongst them selves in freedom. paying members. respect us.

Wow. Just wow.

Why must the game continue to change?

Andy why?

I was accully supporting you in that last post.

*sigh*
(wonders if it got read)
