A: right... Like a 6 month old player could afford 800 billion for one point anyways... B: no one's telling you to go out and build a Tesla you know... You could just stick to the basics... There is ample opportunities w/o paid services. I've only bought stuff from here in the last 2/3 years... C: welcome to capitalism, you likely support it unknowingly in real life too... D: ??? E: 5 years? Sure, but how many players are going to hang around for that long? It's always been like that... The game survives off of Vera and Olga, Mary and Lien are nothing. Anna is bonus money, and I'm tempted to do that over investing in lien... D: 
This is expensive... Villas are basically useless for 90% of the players anyways so they don't count. That game (or game style you're referring to still exists) is more of a gamble than anything else... I remember reading for such a game someone spending over 100,000 USD for a virtual club, they made most of their money back in the first year but what if the admins shut off the servers day after? Basically pay what you're comfortable with beyond that only thing you can complain about is the cost of the points and what you get for them. Esp in this hyperinflation game where a few million units of diamonds for $30 is insane. See here for more info: P.S. They don't delete posts usually unless there's a game breaker (recently happened) and causes a huge issue. If they showed (open books) where all their money went you'd prob just upright and quit lol, so don't ask for that... |

| Marloan: points being "hauled" to the big players, how would that work? I think its the opposite, now nobody can buy any points, not even those who have the virto$ to pay for it. Also, no more hauling off game resources (points) to other realms, or offline (points sold for real money), no more exploitation via virt market, or ultra-leverage to RL-oligarchs who can afford buying points on a daily base.
Financial success will allow you to buy state property which is being actioned. And those wanting to get rid of points can still find ways to make do through similar means.  |

| I totally agree with socrates.... socrates, probably thought in the next sentence "Nevertheless it sux".
Game basics: If you are not dumb like a nutbolt, your skill level is responsible for how much you sell. Time=Money in this case or the ability to invest points in bonus items from state auctions. Now as before Oligarchs can buy as many points as they want. Dont even have to be a king for that. But I dont want to own a bmw or a bigass house. And I dont feel like investing in a game for ever either. And the possibilities to break even are gone now.... since yes I can buy from auctions, but whats sold in auctions??? Now much less AAAND for way overprice if there are any farms for sale. Since mines are basically just offered empty, and refueling a mine cost more than making a new one. Points beeing hauled to bigger players??? You ask me how that is??.... Here an example: I make grain (that I already bought with points... like almost anyone else). Pay tax for storage, pay tax for pigfarm, pay tax for Biochemicals.... then a whole lotta customs in between. These taxes and customs go mostly to government procurement where big players sell 100s of yachts in an infukingsane level to these governments. These trillions beeing made there are used for toping all auctions. Combined with skillevels and points from tenders and supercontest bonuses. So the level or margin has been set min 10 times higher. And there is no way any lower budget player can stop paying $ to virtonomics and actually really just play for free.... after years of time invested in building this economy. @gamers yes you can play for free .... with marbles, but even with beeing the best and winning it all in the COP you dont make a difference neither sales wise nor politically. Starting with no money= 90% chance of restart. 
So now no longer Time = Money just Money = Money. Better for you and a handfull others and yes not to forget the oligarchs ;) My plan was to go with as little as possible on money as far as possible. For some people asset level is a way to have gone far, or success level (9).... , or skill levels ... or beeing mayor of 9 cities and 3 regions could be considered that too, and yes this did not come for free. But I guess there is noone on all servers that paid less $ to get there, could be considered success, of course for virtonomics I am probably the worst customer ever. Didnt pay 100s and still be loud. Good tactic to get rid of those customers. With this change a newer player can only hope that the top league of players die from a kidneystone or trombosis... We pay. all that have already.... Hurray! |
