I will gladly pay to never again depend on those bonus sites. As long as it auto-gives me the bonuses daily, you can have my money.

I'D PAY FOR THAT! I'VE MISSED A FEW BONUSES THIS RESET DUE TO DRUNKENNESS OR JUST GENERAL FORGETFULNESS, AND IT IS INFURIATING!

I don't mind having to pay for the bonuses either, because it is FAR more annoying to have the bonuses slip by 1 hour everyday and eventually slipping a full day.

sure it would be nice to get bonuses automatically but if dies and bonuspoints are given before player can restart then those points go wasted.

Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

LadyGrizz boobies is fine

NOW3P: Morwen is a much harsher mistress than boredom....

I can live with that. If they cannot make it every 23 hrs or every 22 hours like the other one, institute a platinum account already. Every day it slip a minute, then 5 minutes, then an hours, they one of the sites goes down and CRAP!

this was part of the plan, but the forum/game link needs to be improved to make it work properly with forums too i think

Finally did the signature thing.

You are leaving money on the table. Money mailing should have a higher priority, don't you think?

well, if this were a business perhaps.... but it's a hobby! =D

but yes, this is the plan; we've always just wanted to do it "right" rather than go for the quick cash grab =/

need more time!

Unless we make platinum $50/year and have *everybody* sign up for it, then both pang & i still need to work for a living haha

once people start paying then they'll feel entitled, they'll make demands like "remove o-allies" and think they are owed it

Lol, no one pays for it but we already feel entitled and are owed o-alliances removed.

crest, will you pay for my platinum account too? I'd be willing to teach you how to net if you did.

And why call it platinum? Lets call the upgrade Titanium.

platinum is more valuable that titanium so it would be downgrade (quite a big since plat is ~1.6k bucks and titanium is ~10 bucks).

50 bucks is too high since only benefit would be auto bonuspooints when compared to mehul's plat (which I got free) which gave extra turns and extra land originally.

Titanium is on the rise, I suggest investing in titanium future. It will be 3-4k/oz in the next millennium guaranteed

Sure Seth, I can pay for yours, the titanium account though,, not the platinum. Platinum is for me, but I think I can swing the platinum. $50! No way.

I think the $50/year is what he would need to charge everybody playing (and have them pay it), so that Pang and Qzjul can "retire" and focus all their efforts on coding EE. Not a serious number he was thinking of charging for the service, (I hope).

Other than Earth Empires I also play Battlefield games:

4kish players, 50 bucks each, 200k per year before taxes.

doubt all would be willing to pay so maybe 2k players would pay.

Enough would pay to make it worth more than the advertising
