Patch Notes for 9/5/2013

Two new buffs: Enhanced gold pickaxe and Enhanced iron pickaxe.

I have to say this isn't very new or much of an interesting item at all.

The problem here is those items aren't cheaper in large quantity.

They are exactly the same in terms of cost as the "Iron Divinder" and "Golden Parrot" (just cost x10 more and provides x10 more deposit).

The only 'slight' benefit is you're buying it in a lot of x10 for the same cost practically (x10).


It's a shame they couldn't offer you a discount like Premiums. The bigger you buy the cheaper it is.

What are you talking about?

yeah...there's not quest that requires 7 day premium...on the other hand.... not getting premium account is like not getting a 250 general.... everything you do just got more expensive, relative to these who have it

Of all the things that TSO needs the last thing on the list is premium accounts.

Too late

They went out of their way to increase demand for gems ... they increased supply with more gem pits, but this will likely cause a ton of pressure on gem sellers and cause gem prices to skyrocket.

However not everyone wants to cheat using this feature. My husband and I both play. Its not fair that when we buy 50.00 worth of gems we have to pay 25.00 and 25.00 and are getting less gems purchased then if we had paid for 50.00 worth. Now we can buy 50.00 and share them between ourselves. So you can flip that coin however you want however cheaters will cheat no matter what measures are put in place to not allow it. Not everyone wants to cheat.

I believe level 25 or 22 is required for gifting gems. Forgot from the test server. Getting 100s of accounts up to 25 is going to take a while and tedious. You might as well spend that time leveling up your account and just earn the gems per level.

If its a trap my husband and I are screwed because we will be using this feature between us, but in the end seeing how we spend money, Settlers would be cutting their own throat by removing us from the game for no reason. We aren't trying to cheat, we just dont feel like we should have to spend 25.00 and 25.00 each and the end result being less gems then had we made a 50.00 purchase.

I have never bought a premium account in any game I've played and don't plan to start now! I have never seen one where you get what you pay for. Too bad that BB doesn't spend their time trying to fix things that we need instead of adding stuff we don't need. New adventures are nice but the rest??? I am still surviving without a gem pit or endless copper mine and don't expect to live long enough to get a gold tower. Still love the game, but......

Firstly Pushing is illegal, no matter how you cut it. However Trading isn't.

The Goal of the 220 gems transferred to 200 is to limit pushers. Blue Byte would cut their own throat if they didn't.

So your answer Digital is simply don't push. Trade gem buildings instead. (nice name btw)
