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 there are large accounts, and then there are LARGE ACCOUNTS. Maybe a real problem exists there, I don't have a clue.

Guess we will just have to wait and see how it shakes out. I do totally agree with Wendy, hope that it doesn't turn into a mission driven game.

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 great decision."


so basicly he's telling you to "PAY UP" your a long time player, now, pay up! but, you didnt expect that did you? you spent buildind HUGE emipires across several planets, YEARS in the making... now TRAPPED.. all this time "MONTHS and MONTHS" what to do.... delete half your great empire? or buy it with real money?... for as long as you want to keep it no matter how much your empire creats.. hmmm, i had a huge empire across several planets, one single county now.. free by the way. checking in now and again hoping things will change, same "SH^&" differnt year. It was a great game

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)

so true putter
