At the gym he runs into MIkalosos who was always there on Monday nights and asks him: What happened? I didn't see you last Monday...

Mikalosos: I stayed home and watched the game with my wife and had a nice home cooked meal and a great beer.  That sure beats watching the game on a small TV, in a crowded bar, eating crummy food... I just realized I was coming in every week only for the free beer.

lol

I see that Plarium has not made its move yet  as a culprit he is; Rewards have remained unchanged. I still consider this to be a players violation rights because we were not informed of this change and this is unjust. Of all the games from Plarium portfolio, Sparta War of Empires was the only one affected by this change big change - 75% reduction of emeralds, all the other games have suffered less. For example Stormfall: Age of War, its rewards have only been cut by 50%, at least there you can manage your guardians into leveling them bit by bit. Therefore, Plarium, or whomever manages this game, took a hallucinating decision without even thinking of this discrimination towards the players who play Sparta War of Empires. We are, I believe, the only game from Plairum platform who have opened on forum a page where us, the „frustrated” players, trying to reveal the abusive way Plarium is enforcing towards its customers.

Shame Plarium!

Here's the proof:

Nancy You can say this proposal to the developers:

1 guardian rank 6 are 6 guardians rank 5.

Could they change to updated a rank 5 to rank 6, with 1 guardian rank 6? sacrificing 1 guardian rank 6 to improve a 5 to 6.

This way if you get a better guardian you can reuse a rank 6.

I suggested the same thing earlier in this thread. That is how it should be otherwise you are stuck with low grade Rank 6s

I have a "Friend" who has a non-coiner city with many Grade II (Green) guardians and occasionally he will get an Epic summoning bond and get a Grade IV (Blue) guardian that is better than the one he had. He should be able to retire the Grade II to upgrade the better Grade IV

This is especially helpful for non-coiners because it allows you to grow slowly without waste

This is a total crock.....

I am a coiner but totally agree with others here. The change will kill any attempt for non-coiners to develop their guardians.

Not even a notice was announced which is totally unacceptable. I like to develop guardians to level 30 and leave them there util I want to make a run for weekly rankings or tournament. So I lost a lot of emeralds because of this change.

This needs to be changed back ASAP and not only that but also we should be able to retire a rank 6 level 40 to upgrade another guardian to rank 6. This would help the non-coiner because they develop grade 2's, 3's and 4's since that is all they get. Then eventually with enough time hitting warlords they might get a grade 4 and they should be able to retire a grade 3 rank 6 to upgrade their new guardian otherwise all that hard work is thrown in the trash.

The rest of the story: After two months of falling revenue Plutonium realized he had made a mistake by dropping the free draft beer on Monday nights... He reintroduced it 9 weeks later but by that time many of his customers had established new routines on Monday nights.  Monday nights at Plutonium recovered a bit over the next few months but never returned to their previous success.

Mikalosos continues to have dinner with his wife at home and doesn't miss his Monday nights at Plutonium's bar & restaurant.

next monday  instead of going to Plutonium Bar, maybe i could come over and have a drink at your place :D

An update:

It's been 11 days since I noticed that Plarium underhandedly removed the "free" Guardian rewards.

I have not spent a single dollar on the game since that day.  I continued to play Guardians and my emerald balance has dropped from 7000 to 3400 so that part of the game will end for me in another 10 days.

The next 24 hr unit revival 75% discount will start tomorrow morning and contrary to the last 50 times this "promotion" has been on I will not spend 100,000 drachmas reviving units... I would usually have stocked up on Drachma packages over the last 4-5 days to have a big balance.  Right now I have just 1500 drachmas in the bank. 

I estimate that I have saved between $100 and $150 over the last 11 days.

I hope Plarium is feeling the pain.

Tonaya owned a bar,and i know what are you talking about....plarium dont know(or dont care),they think they can milk a cow as long as they want,but you cant milk a dead cow.soo many players left the game,when plarium realize it,it'll be too late

Spartans, as I previously mentioned, I completely understand your frustration. We gathered players' feedback about the recent reduction of Emerald rewards and decided to double it with this release. With the release of Guardian Conquests, it became easier to level up Guardians while you still can receive  free beer  nice rewards for levelling up of your Guardians. 

Good x2 emeralds, about the new additions are making the game so complicated ... that a new player will never enter, no one understands anything.

This is getting worse every day!

Now skirmish ??? I mean visas will improve their guardians effortlessly, and they will win all conflicts since all players will be 24 hours attacking caudillos.

Thanks plarium for insulting the effort of the players, once again, and insulting all the hours of effort that some players have dedicated, now any player with effortless visa will have all 6 ranks.

i dont understand anything

plarium,if you have one inactive player,or someone on holiday,and he dont attack any guardian,but all other members do play and win all......the hole coalition wont get reward because 1 inactive didnt participate in arena?

someone help me with the palarium math ... they cut emerald rewards by 75%

then they double our rewards

we are still at 50% of what we used to get, not enough to replace what we spend improving our guardians

this still creates a huge dis-balance between the massive players that coined all their guardians to max level - and everyone else that has not

It seems we react like junkies... Since some idiots let them wives to get unpleasure and sitting on the sofa all day and spent thousant dollars and  killing them pensions, here is no luck on this game as Plarium ll pay attention how to get them money and give a little s*** about us... Cry as much as you want... 

 We the really lovers of this game or we quit and give some pleasure to those desperate housewives or we decide all together to move to another server and build for scratch our cities and play as the good old time... Then those moral coiners remain on the local server they ll kill soon each other, killing the server and the company and after they ll return to the local casinos spent them pensions to the slot machines as before discover Sparta... With one way or another still them wives they ll be desperate...

The ''cornutos'' they can pass from my city... I served the best hot coffee in Sparta...
