well then how much is my account worth now

asked for your i have spent over 1000 euros using for ars currency

pakedi these are expensive X11 times more

this is a game some play a lot of the time and coins are always first

tournaments give a little drama etc ...

and you don't do anything about it, someone made 1m points in the tournament 

and the maximum in that tournament is 100 k

and I see that in the last 7 years in tournaments you have been looking for more points for the same number of army

I can tell you are ruining the game 

better you 1 which gives a lot of money 1000 players who do not give money?

now then remove the way paid in the game. you told me a lot

we want better tournaments. then you would prove that every player means something to you in the game

allow everyone to play fair

think now of me attacking players who did not use ars but used

1000 euros

so tell me if it’s fair to him or not?

i think you made the 1000X game worse

imagine that one coalition knew about arsand that they used ars like me they could ruin the whole game.

so please do something about it as soon as possible

no offence toanyone   but anybody that spends $1000 a week on the game needs to go get their head looked at     i was spending about  £150 a month but no more  so do something about it palarium with ars i was having fun buying thing i would never have put fun back into game                          cant you see theres a problem now and the longer you ignore it the worsse it will get

DJ MOODY, IF YOU WROTE THIS TO ENLIGHT US, I'M SORRY BUT YOU DIDN'T...

IF ARS WAS UNFAIR AND DANGEROUS FOR THE GAME , THE SITUATION AFTER ARS ENDED, FOR BIG OR SMALL PLAYERS, DOESN'T MATTER, LEADS TO THE DEATH OF THE GAME...SO I'M SORRY BUT YOUR COMMENT IS AGAINST LOGIC, EXCEPT OF COURSE YOU WANT GAME TO DIE...

No, brutally honest is saying Plarium's product is over priced, that it is set-up for those with money to grow fast & feed off those that can't.  ARS being able to help grow one's city and army may be totally imaginary but it creates a satisfying illusion of hope.

If you can't see how that equates to more enjoyment & fun even in a losing game that's on you. Average players have been squeezed for a long time.  The ARS has just reminded them how much they've been squeezed and yes they hoped Plarium was unaware so it would continue.  When the very premise of the game is unfair, it doesn't promote fairness in anyone DJ.

I agree that we have much commom ground regarding how Plarium's short sighted goals have rotted the game.  So many opportunities to inject course corrections over the years & instead we get pretty new troops while the game grows sicker.

I have no wish to argue with you.  We may see some things differently & that's fine.  I have always thought that advancement should be from one's play, not purchases.  But if the powers allow those purchases to alter the strategy of the game I'll purchase too if it's affordable just to still have a chance at competing.

I'd prefer that Plarium addressed the root problem, but they won't. The ARS blow-up is just the result of feelings that have been festering in players for years.

losing $5-10 a week can be fun, losing $100 isnt, The simple fact is that this game is overpriced

And if the game closes then the biggest losers will be the coiners and plarium

 In the last 15 days Coalition Members receive ZERO Coalition Chests or Gifts

I agree with DJ Moody's assessment that most of the complaints are from those who gained immensely from this "glitch".  But, where is the outrage from the players that played straight up? Many of us watched as our enemies leveled up, gained in strength, and terrorized us because of this monumental advantage. Those of us who did not have the opportunity or knowledge of this situation are the real losers. Yes, Plarium lost some money by not receiving the full price for the packages, but the rest of us lost in ways yet to be determined.

Arguments put forth that it helped the smaller players compete are weak at best. It only helped those who knew about it. So, unless way more players than it appears knew, and took advantage of it, only those who knew were able to get stronger.

This is not a small thing folks, it is huge and it's impact is huge. For no other reason than those with the knowledge were able to outgain the general population by a huge margin. Someone mentioned "game changer" earlier, and the ramifications of this situation will be with us long after those who knew can no longer bend the rest of us over.

For me, after nearly 7 years of playing and suffering through all the Plarium mistreatment towards players  this may be the final straw for me. They knew this manipulation was taking place and allowed it while evaluating the data. In the meantime the rest of us got bent over even further.

To those who are complaining, you have no complaint. You got over on Plarium and the rest of us, be happy. Because, if it were up to me there would be some consequence regarding the unfair advantage gained by deliberately engaging in your behavior.

It is a small consolation to the rest of us to know you can no longer grow at a 9 to 1 rate, Truly, where is your sense of honor? Where is your sense of fairplay? Must have gotten lost after the greediness took hold.

Not that many use the forum anymore, but i would guess that when the word gets out to the general player population, there will be many complaints to Plarium,  who may eventually acknowledge that this occurred, but that is is fixed, and that is about as far as it will go.

Perhaps then there will be a thread from the dissillusioned, and defrauded, wanting compensation for being on the wrong end of this situation. They too will threaten and make what they consider coherent arguments, that will end up just like these will, with no or little action taking place.

The rest is  a simple proposition really, do not buy the packages if you feel they cost too much. Do not play the game if you hate it so. In all my years playing I have yet to see one thing changed by threats.

But, in the final analysis, you cannot seriously expect others to support your efforts to return to this currency manipulation scam so you can continue to grow ridiculously more powerful than the players who did not use it.

Woad, good post.

i did nor find out about ARS until a short time before it was stopped and yes i took advantage , as much as i could afford, spending the same amount as i usually did and yes i gained a few extra benefits during that short time.

As far as i was aware it was being used by a multitude of players, and why not, if it was there to use. which it was. I blame my own laziness for not looking into ways of buying packages cheaper. As far as i was concerned Plarium put ARS into the game to be used. what i still do not understand is how some players new that is was being taken out of game a full month before it was removed , clearly some collusion between Plarium staff and certain players

And as i have mentioned  before , packages are just to expensive

Shouting in caps whilst listening to no one else isn't a great look tbh.

I refer you to my already posted (and pretty comprehensive) explanation of why they don't have the price point wrong. Your living in a fantasy land, where you are desperate for "what you want" to come true.  Rather ironically without any reference to the "facts" or "the truth", as it happens.

I do not usually say this - but dj's coment is the most idiotic i have ever seen.

A group of us were trying to get palarium to make it possible for new players to compete in sparta - they are expected to fight built up accounts with light and heavy troops until they can gather enough glory points in pvp to unlock phalanx and horse.

Everything is stacked against them - and a game with no new players is a game with no future. end of story. I have said this again and again.

The lower cost packages that enabled the small accounts to catch up to the large ones - and is exactly what was needed - the ability to buy a few thousand upgrade sketches or glory points is massive for new people and makes very little difference to the overpowered mega accounts.

It closes the gap - dj must know this - which makes me think he is a massive coiner that fears others catching up to him, to the point he will promote killing the game.

Sad - just sad that there are still people willing to figth bringing in new players and promote their palarium bosses that are feeding them free junk for their services.

unions annoy me more why should we need to have 100 members to start one? any reason? because we are small we need to join a big union what if we want to have a small union with a few like minded coals who are small as well. let 500 players from big coals union up to help but god forbid let a little coal get a few other small coals to get upto 60-80 players who might work as a team i mean its a seperate discussion i guess but please let me know if im wrong. 

THEY WANTED TO RIP US OFF . THE PACKAGES THAT I WAS PAYING 2 DOLLARS AND FOUR DOLLARS NOW 49.00 DOLLARS US

not a single informative answer from plarium or mods about our concerns and questions.

Hi there!

I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. My home currency is unavailable. Please help!

give an example of how much money is saved before we all rush to open paypal accounts

it doesnt, what it does do is offer you a work around 

Hello Jason: Plarium gave their answer to this topic from the beginning. I'm sorry if 

i

you didn't find it suitable: I will post it again. 

hi, as this OP has had an answer and also other suggestions on payment methods I am locking the thread 

DJ...una risposta ufficiale della Plarium è anche segno di educazione e rispetto verso coloro che per anni hanno finanziato e sostenuto per anni il gioco e la Plarium....

Dopo una risposta ufficiale della Plarium ognuno potrà fare le proprie valutazioni...decidere se andare avanti fino ad esaurire tutto ciò che ha in città, o abbandonare il gioco fin da subito......ma almeno avremmo una versione ufficiale...
