the price for diamonds is at the moment at 1 diamond per 1ˆ.
in my opinion the diamond costs should be severely reduced. to one fifth or better one tenth.
if you think that this is a browsergame in more or less a beta version state (take a look at the russian server).
if you look at the costs, it takes 10ˆ - 30ˆ to buy one building a level early, or 80ˆ(!) for the thieves guild invitation, its hilarious. these are prices, that you would pay for actual real games.
a world of warcraft account comes at 13ˆ per month! i dont think the price/quality relation is good enough to justify these prices.
just my opinion. |

would seriously make people who have already bought them angry, why should they have to pay 5 or 10 times more for diamonds just because someone wants them cheaper?
diamonds are totally optional, if you think they cost too much, then don't buy them, but others think differently, and people will always keep buying them at the current price |
| transaction logs seem to be saved infinitely. people, who allready bought diamonds could get a refund in form of more diamonds. |
another thought. with the money, you would have to put into this game to be really successfull, you could also just buy the original heroes of might and magic 5 game and just play online via multiplayer.
it gants you far more features and better graphics. |
| You don't need to spend money to be successful. Maybe things might take a little longer, but there is no need at all to buy diamonds. |
its ok. im not complaining, that i have to buy diamonds. but if i want to, i have to pay abysmal prices for just a little advantage.
if a new building would cost 5ˆ to 10ˆ tops, i would concider to buy some diamonds, to get some of my better troops early. and i think many more players would take them, so that in the end (even with the cut prices) more money would float to the admins and the game support would get better. |
if people are refunded the different, then you'd end up having people floating around with 100s and maybe thousands of diamonds with nothing to spend them on except converting to gold, which would ruin the economy really badly
still think it's a bad idea |
for Cassaria:

Then don't buy then. Period.
They are optional, you don't need them to play the game. Why complain about how much the toll booth charges on the highway when there's a free, albeit longer, route through the countryside? |

Diamonds give just a little advantage(lets call it little compared to what you are suggesting). It is intended to be voluntary support of server, you get just a little something for that. If you get 10000-25 000 for one diamond, the players who can afford them would have lots of gold.
For example I have a friend who donated 600 Euro. If the price of diamond was 5x higher, he would get 6 000 000 gold in refund. If all player who donate can get such amount of gold, other players who cannot pay would not be able to play this game anymore. The price of elements would be trippled, rare trophies, hunter arts, all those things would be so expensive that normal player would never be able to buy them.
-1 I think it would be a big hit for economy, wouldnt be free online game anymore and I dont want to spend week enrolling for a hunter hat. |
