    Based on my experience with the copper mine on the test server, the upgrades are similar to other special buildings, like the watermill and silo.

    meh, they'll bring the copper mine price down, eventually... I'm betting that their just trying to get the most out of the "shinny new object" curve. Just like so many other companies do, over price it then when sales slow to a crawl offer a sale... rinse repeat. The early buyers get the benefit of having it *now* and the late buyers get it at what they feel like is a steal. Eventually everyone wins.

    Although I'm curious to see if they ever offer a gem mine sale, or if they ever offer more than 5 per acct.

    if bluebyte wanted to make money off this they should have made a 10-15$ charge to continue playing past the tutorial...would make much more sense on a gameplay level...i have no issue spending a few bucks supporting a free to play game however seeing as im already lvl 40 after 2 months of play and spending 0$...why the hell would i spend 100 bucks to "invest" in more gems...in 6 months i will have bought all the gems i need from gem sellers anyways

    i wish they let u have more recycling plants. and copper mines limited to same . 3 . but there are 6 copper mines. what would be great would be an advanced geo that can find another mine you buy them for one time use or 3 . like you can buy a temp building spot.

    Ok, let me preface this by saying that I have bought Gems twice, first time was 36k for $100 and second was 48k for another $100. I like the game and I do not regret spending the cash. I bought all my scouts, generals, building licenses, and bunch of other stuff that I wanted/needed.

    The prices for these new structures are absolutely ridiculous, how can bluebyte justify asking players to spend in the neighborhood of $500 dollars to get 6 structure??? Have they lost their minds? I am sorry, but they need to drop the price on the Gem mine to around 5k and maybe 3k each on the copper mines. I will never spend another dime on this game if they keep up with the greedy BS that I am currently witnessing.

    I was very excited about these structures when I heard about them, I was planning on getting 1 gem pit and 6 of the copper mines, but there is no freaking way I will ever pay that much for them, it is absurd. I am curious if anyone has purchased either of these yes, I hope they have not, BB should be punished for caring more about profit than it's players .

    I am not impressed at all guys, drop the prices or I will quit your game, no matter how much I enjoy it....

    Unfortuanately, as more poeople buy these overpriced items, the stacks of cash piling up at BB are acting as a soundproof insulation.
    They just can't hear the complaints over the sound of the cha-ching.

    ha ha! they lowered the price but also lowered the amount you get. are you kidding me! used to be $99.99 for 27000 gems now its $ 79.99 for 24000 gems. so no difference just easier for low budget users to buy mines at lower cost out of pocket
    easier
