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.
