I've played the game

Sorry Beby, but i stopped reading after the 2nd line, just after you said "1 VIP pack and probably around 1000 credits". The VERY FIRST line a player sees when he opens www.thecrims.com is this: "Welcome to a new reality!
The Crims is a Free Online RPG". End of discussion. No matter how you try to turn it. I understand and accept that you can change your game the way you want (it's your privilege and NO ONE can push you to do otherwise) but the word FREE and vip don't come together (not to add the credits). Let's do a simple maths: Before you overtook the game, it used to be 200 credits vip and that was all. basically a player had to buy credits for about 20 eur and he can play the whole round full throttle. now, with your changes (AGAIN: you have the right to change the game however you want), a player needs:

Vip – 50 eur (non sharable codes, otherwise 60 eur with sharable codes, not to mention you need vip on multis also, so you can move stats)
Credits:
- 20 mafioso starter
- 100 – buildings upgrade
- 100 – hookers upgrade
- 100 – weapons upgrade
- Casino: 12 per day x 47 days = 564 for the round
- Boats: about 8 ships x 15 credits per ship = 120
- University: 150 x 2 = 300 (you will need 600 more for lvl 2 and 3)
- Stock market: 10 x 10 = 100
- Last day training 4 x 150 = 600
- Bank investment every 4 days: 5 x 12 = 60
- Weapons to buy (so you don’t use money): 135
- Guards: 50
- Laboratory – instant upgrades: 60
During game credits:
- Detox: every time you reach about 82 % - 85 % addiction you use 5 credits (at around 100 tickets). About 4 detox per 4 thecrims days: 20 x 13 = 260
- About 30 deaths during round: 30 x 10 = 300. Besides that you need credits to get out of hospital, after you get hit, you will need also credits to up your hp bar so maybe next attack you won’t lose. So another 5 x 30 = 150


Total: about 3619. Let’s make it round 4k credits.

All expenses included (vip and credits) – easily 120 Eur (with multis vip included).

After you draw the line you can see the results: before = 20 eur for 45 real days (full 180 thecrims days); now, 120 eur for 12 real days, which translates in 360 eur in 45 real days. from 20 eur to 360 ..... ouch

Pros: you really try to change the game in such a manner that will benefit all the players. It’s a hard job because, no matter what change you make, someone will get angry and upset and will start to blame you. Each round, every small change, tries to rectify a wrong in the game. Taking also in consideration that a lot of players bother you on your private chat, it is understandable (until a point) you have somewhat an adversity when it comes to answer to queries. never the less it is nice when someone acknowledge your hard work.

P.S.: again - you are allowed and can change the game and prices ANY way you like. I was just merely pointing out the change from then to now (i never said it is wrong nor good). Stupid is not the guy who asks form something, but the guy who pays for it.

P.P.S.: what's the difference between you play "for fun with vip and 1k credits" and me who play for fun for free?

i wish everyone all the best in the world.

Dude, here you are talking and calculating the costs for a player that goes hardcore, all in for top 1 inter..if you are playing for fun, just for a top 20 ending and maybe a top country and top gang medal then all you need it's like 1 VIP and 1k credits which costs 20 euro, just like before, like you said. If you are not going for top 1 respect, then why on earth would you pay credits for: university, stock market, weapons, guards, detox ? why would you buy 5 VIPs if you play for fun? 5 VIPs are needed if you try for top 1 but not even then 100% needed, you can win top 1 with 1-3 VIPs.

Compared to other online browser based games(and trust me, i tried most of them) TC is cheap as **** and it gives REAL MONEY prizes. There are other games where you are required to spend at least 200 euro / round to have the smallest chance possible to be relevant in the game and in the end, when the round finishes, you are not winning anything lol.

And the most annoying thing is that you are comparing the costs of TC with what it was 4-5 years ago. Well, how much did everything cost in a supermarket 5 years ago compared to nowadays? Do you think the inflation does not affect TC too? Do you think they are paying for the servers in 2022 as much as they were paying in 2015?

The last thing that I want to say, is that you are not playing the game for fun, for free like you are saying. You are playing the game, giving up on your free time as a "trading coin". You are giving up on the most important thing in your life, the time which is limited. Now it's up to you if you want to spend those 20 hours weekly doing absolutely nothing in the game with no VIP/credits bought, or you want to actually try to win anything back.

Now you guys check whether businessman is put on disadvantage here or not, look at this case.

In beta day 27 Illuminati rob is happening. Illuminati can be accessed by level 11 and above only. Meanwhile businessman still can not level up to 11 because waiting for 4th ship on day 32.
If other professions can already access Illuminati while businessman can't. Doesn't it sound like businessman is on disadvantage here?

If this case can be happened in beta, then it also can be happened in production/live version too. Isn't it ridiculous?

Do some actual calculation about ship! And also recalculate those money disadvantage from roberries.

BETA IS BETA ... dont worry about it !!!

If in beta you can create such a ridiculous condition, how come you are so sure that it won't happened in production ? give me 100% solid proof.

This might worry me that this stupid case can be happened in production.

And you can only say

BETA IS BETA ... dont worry about it !!!

Lol. Such an answer that can ruin this game, ignoring people's opinion.
