Wasn't overly impressed with the implementation of the 2013 Roadmap, so am not expecting too much with this one for 2014.
Like many, i agree that anything that makes the end game a different proposition is to be welcomed. Similarly with regards re-balancing.
Let's be honest here, this is a business decision that is intended to draw more people who are willing to spend money into the game. I don't use gold and am extremely grateful that i have the opportunity to play this game for free, so can't really knock InnoGames, but there's a pretty solid reason i'm not willing to shell out on Grepo yet.
Pre-facing an annual Roadmap (in the middle of March) with the fact it "may shift slightly", as well as generalising almost all the exciting updates we'll 'possibly' be seeing in the next 8 months or so, doesn't really fill me with confidence; let alone entices me to pay for things i'm pretty sure won't see the light of day for a good couple of years.
Tell you what, let's make a side bet. If IG manages to implement a change to the World Wonders by the end of 2014, i'll buy some gold in 2015. Seeing as this was promised in 2013 and here we are nearing the end of Q1 and y'all don't even have a concept yet, i reckon i'll be back here with my hand in my pocket in 12 months time. Or how about double or quits? I'll buy some gold tomorrow if, "In the spirit of openness and transparency" you edit this to be the Grepolis Wish List 2014.
