It took a lot reading through those 8 pages, but I did it. yay!!
Anyway, the item about buying the same Gold for different costs of Euros in different countries, yes, sounds wrong, and needs to be sorted by the supplier, not the end customer. If the response is to tell us that we should try setting ourselves as being from different countries, then this statement should be made readily available to everyone, so that everyone gets a chance to reduce their spending amount. If we are all told, then it is up to us if we 'opt' to pay more for the same gold than someone else; if we are NOT told, then it is withholding information which could save your members money.
So that is my take on the Gold issue
NOW, regarding the peacetime break, would it be feasible, in order to stop these complaints/arguments, for innogames to allocate extra days to their premium customers for the days that they cannot use the benefits provided by their Premium features like Captain? So if we have 2 days in which we cannot attack anyone, then give us 2 days extra on the Captain feature, etc.
Is this feasible? It is not calling for a refund, but rather calling for an 'extension' to a feature.
The reason I looked up this posting, was because I was also concerned about paying for this feature, but not being able to use it. In the postings above, someone said (I forget who) something about it being our responsibility to read the forums to check about xmas breaks etc. Well, I started this game after last xmas, so I would not know that this kind of thing happened, and in addition to this, I have enough problems finding the time to log on and play the game, without being required to add time to log into the forum to check regularly in case there is another break planned for another time, someone might decide to have an Easter break after all!
I have had 2 messages from ?Grepolis/Innogames? as far as I can recall, so they could have sent me a message about the Peacetime so that I could have decided if I wanted to extend that feature or not over this period. Anyway, it is a suggestion, and would appease a lot of the folks qho are voicing their annoyance above ..... as well as pleasing me
Merry Xmas - o ya, a couple of guys said something about not complaining as it is xmas , so what about "give the players a coupla extra premium days as it is xmas" ?????
