Explain how this game would be entirely free? I'm talking the game as it exists now. No ads. How would the fees be paid for the servers hosting this game? Internet connectivity for said servers?

- NO ONE IS ASKING YOU TO PAY CASH!!! IF PEOPLE WANT TO SPEND 20$ OR 2000$ ON A GAME THEN LET THEM!!! IT'S THERE MONEY AND ETHICS TO WHAT THEY PUT THERE HARD EARNED CASH TOWARDS!!

at first you wouldve been right. But as time goes on I really don't need the points anymore. It's starting to become more and more about helping to keep this game going. O spend alot of time here. Too much actually. I want the game to stay and evolve so instead of stopping my $20 a week I continue. All my points go into stamina right now. I don't need it. But I don't want more influence or hench at the moment and it's all that's leftAnd stop saying you're supporting the game. It's a cop out. If it was a truly free game that you played and enjoyed you wouldn't be falling over yourself to send the maker money. You give money because you get something it return. If there was no perk to kickin' in a few bucks you wouldn't be so quick.

It is ecs approved. Iv debated this issue on skype with davey. Pay to play!!

Agreed. People buying Don points support the game. Nick deserves every penny because he offered a free product with the ability to enhance it the way you'd like ..for chump change. If you don't want to spend money, you can still play. For free.
-
@grim. You said points were stupid and kind of like cheating. To give you mine would go against your beliefs. I would never do that
-
I can't speak for nick but I can guess he's pouring himself and they money he's making right back into the game to make sure you guys have something to do for a while.
Pony up a few bucks is all I'm sayin. I don't think is driving a lambo around quite yet. This is a new growing game. If you like it help it grow is all I'm sayin.

To answer the original question, I think most of the hatrers play games so they can be successful in a virtual world. When people who are successful in the real world get to beat them down in their fake game world with real world power, you can see why that would bum them out. They can't even pretend to be winners.
A little JMac© attitude there for ya.

I think paying to get to the top sucks for those people who can't afford it. But if I could afford to drop the cash to buy henchman I would buy more than momo and everyone else combined ;-)

i know who told ya datOk I just had a player tell me how I had to buy my way to the top. I've spent money I've never denied it. But over 90% of my mob is real. Why begrudge me just because I choose to top things off?
-
Well actually I was talking about influence if you didn't read it... Was just asking peoples opinions...
I don't think the fights mean anything but the biggest bully! I mean to have 90 something percent wins mean you pick on people with a lot less mob lol. I took schulzie off the top of that shitty list because he only got there by attacking everyone smaller than him 100's of times a day, including myself and forcing many people to quit here... And I did with only a little more mob!

Simple answer ... Because they cannot ...

I didn't care to take time to read through anybodys posts but I feel like it would be ok if people didn't abuse it. Some people worked their way to the top. Others bought their way.
I can't fully respect you're position if your posistion was purchased. -
Don't get it confused tho, I
all about supporting Nick. This game is amazing. -

The unfortunate thing is that there is no way to spread out of your area and be on top with out buying limit. And it sucks too cause even buying limit and capping without building your own turf you still need to buy limit to move. I currently have to do a combination of upping my limit and tearing down capped turf to be able to plant a new turf while away on business later this week. But make no mistake I could tear em all down and recap back up to my limit with turf spread all over even without my Hench purchase. Hmmmmm new project maybe lol........I didn't care to take time to read through anybodys posts but I feel like it would be ok if people didn't abuse it. Some people worked their way to the top.

It is tough tho. Right now for me, thus is a game of patience.
-
Apparently by "kid mikey's" logic. Buying points makes you a coward. Lol. Guess were all cowards belial.

I get frusturated because I dont think the game was created with the intention of players buying 1,000+ turfs. I've used tactics, strategy and diplomacy to get to the top. but the leaderboards on area and influence really should be change to "top real money spent." the confines on turf limit is such an integral part of the game. the balance between capture and what not. and buying your turf limit feels like an easy out.
obviously those who play often and dedicate a lit of time in the gameto get to the top are the ones who are invested enough to want to spend real money.
I hate that I'll never be able to compete with the big bawlers at the end of the day.
I'm still proud I was the first player to break 40k influence and that was well before it even occurred to players that uppin their limit by the hundreds was a viable option.
