There is a huge fan base for this game, and it's just increased again due to the lavish attention BB have bestowed on us with the XXL additions and Steam players.
But one thing BB have overlooked is the amount of real money they can make from this game; if they were only to revise their pricing policy for in-game items..
I have previously suggested a pro-rata rate for upgrades which I feel would be most beneficial to players and BB in regard to revenue... http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/t...pro-rata-basis
Now I humbly suggest BB lower their prices in the game for gems realistically for everything, not just upgrades. Having discussed this in guild, we agree that lower gem prices would be more enticing for players to spend their money on gems to get ahead a bit more. Lets face it, £5 on 1200 gems on happy hour wont get that much in the game. But if the prices for items were lowered, that £5 might be purchased and spent EVERY MONTH by a player!
Steady little trickles of sales on gems every week? It's not impossible is it?
Thoughts?
