In addition to what it does today, on premium, all Generals will be able to travel between zones in few seconds.
How about that?

Would be a nice bonus. My prem is about to lapse, and I will not be renewing it. Since I purchased a years worth, loot has been nerfed, weapons are gone, balance is out the window. I will not waste any more gems/money in the anticipation that more "improvements" are coming.
yes since the new daily quests they are not worth doing anymore so all you get is 50% more loot/xp, which is nice, but i'm the one paying why should someone I buff reap the rewards
I am on premium since beginning and as much as I would love to have more "benefits", I think asking for instant transfer is too much. If you want to increase gem sales, then sell a buff (but don't make it 195 gems) that allow instant transfer.
Also I agree with TrollPhu, and this was mentioned countless times: premium players should receive a 10% bonus when buffed (regardless of who is buffing them), the current system doesn't make sense.
Thanks for your suggestions :)

3. Increase the quantity of Merchant store items available for purchase with gems.
4. Additional trade slots.
5. Premium Adventures.

These players have close-to-zero impact on BB sales :)Quote:

Heck, the paying elite needs some competition too, right? :)
$10k.....uhm no
can they at least get some "free cheese"?Quote:

Non-PA accounts gets the bare bones, slow, tedious ways to do things, produce things, get ahead in the game things.
PA accounts get the things that makes their gaming experience more streamlined and less tedious and better time management abilities.
There are so many things BB can do to get players to want to pay for PA and sure the "free players" will hate it because they are the ones bearing the brunt of the divide between the have and have nots.
1. The ability to load/move things faster into the barracks and provision house.
2. Those new irma buffs, or you can create a new buff that if PA account players place on themselves it has the same effect if a PA friend dropped it on them.
3. The time bonus we get for buffs also applies to self buffing or if a non-PA players drops them (meaning, shouldn't matter if the friend has PA, if they buff a PA account. The PA account should get the buff bonus time).
4. An extra free trade slot for the TO.
5. An extra building que slot.
6. A gen(s) that can only be used and available on PA. Many possibilities there on what abilities, troop count, travel speed, recovery speed that gen(s) could have.
7. The ability to tell where your gen (the ponie walking) once on an attack. Example click on the tent and that little blue shield pops up over the horse as it's walking on the adventure.
8. The ability to set scouts/geo's to automatically search for a set thing for a set amount of times. Say geo's to look for a certain deposit when an existing deposit runs out, or a scout that returns can be set back out immediately to search again for the same thing it looked for last time. Have that amount low, so you still have to manage them, but he is automated to a little degree compared to what they are now.
9. Allow an increase of books/manuscripts/codex to the geo's and scouts that can only be possible on a PA account. Those extra slots gains are locked out when your not on PA. Or add a new tier with a cap limit, so not to get too crazy like the system is presently for stuff to max them out.
10. That said, put a cap limit to the science tree you can only have access too if your on a PA account.
There are a lot of things that could be added, but you get the point.
If many of the games features geared towards getting players to pay because they couldn't get the things that make the game more enjoyable to play. You're not going to get many to open their wallets and dish out if you can get the same features for free.
Like I said, free players will hate this idea and will go kicking and screaming now, if BB changes the game play to be more like that.
If you could trade gems while on premium I'd never not be on premium, just saying. A 2nd build queue would be a nice bonus for premium instead of adding another slot to the build queue like we get now.
Gems for Friends was tried before and just led to ppl scamming. if you want gems buy them with real money, if not then do with what you get. support the game and ppl running it by getting some every now and then. but premium should give better perks to the person buying it not someone else. the 2 daily quests were ok but with the reworking of them it's 2 useless or deleted quests.Quote:
