Currently showing on build costs for updating buildings ; 

Metal well  lvl 11      metal  2476  mineral 1238   ves 1238

Geyser  lvl 13           metal 7132  mineral 2674   ves 445

I am giving you guys the benefit of the doubt and calling this a bug.

I say this because many of us have been playing for a long time to collect resources to build up planets, and a change of this nature would require some sort of recompense to everyone who has spent time and/or money investing in buildings that are now essentialy 'worth' a fraction of the resources invested in them.

See the user counts.
No error. No bug. Game gets same boring than after first Pirate reduction.
And Boring games .........
 
MH1 - that is not a bug, because they WANT it.
No one can do such stupid changes 
again and again by mistake. 

And oposit to some other changes - 
like costs of Protector - this changes are good for newbees,
bad for long time player.

It is a systematic try to get less user.
And my brain is not sick enaugh to know why.

SusiS,  what are you talking about ??



In this we agree.

I cannot fathom the short sight the developers have continually displayed, it would seem to be a systematic and deliberate attempt to shed players.

Perhaps other players can theorise as to why, here is my conspiracy theory ;

The game is under license, the game has to be kept 'online' as failure to do so for x days means that the license reverts back to the original vendor. ( Major asset loss )
Somewhere within the license agreement is a 'get out' clause in which the licence can be retained even though the game is offline and that clause has to do with player retention/loss due to game structure. ( Asset retention ). This is the best I can think of at the moment, as I can see no reason to deliberately encourage player loss.

It is not a bug.
