I would very much like a 3x gem sale. Tempt us please. even if it is only on the largest package
This is my opinion and only my opinion. it is from experience, as well as playing for 8 months along side peeps from every server on our game, and most are my friends.
With all do respect, I post to this thread:
diesiedleronline (German) = thesettlersonline (English/USA)
The Settlers Online = Germany's National Game
Did anyone know this? I no you don't care do you. Well perhaps you should.
Imagine if this were the other way round?
Ok, so it is the National game.
As for Memberships = xx Germany Members = xx USA
well... Geeee lets see, Germany = 26 servers (my last count)
USA = 2
I skipped thru this thread, I saw more negative talk over money -
$ versus € todays rate is $1.33 - €1.00.
Could it just be possible that perchance, USA Servers/Euro Servers just might not be making enough consistently profitable income to support its current state, and has been running and actually pretty dang smoothly, in pre-requisite for the future of our game? Oh dear so that must mean that the German income is... oh i dare not say .... the word supporting us too??? My guess is this is matter of fact....
In my current knowledge from an MMO stand point, This game has yet to launch world wide. This game is not being advertised. This game is testing advertising platforms only at its current state.
What my prognosis is for future. The current testing of advertising platforms is enough for me to know of what is to come in the future.
In closing... be ever so careful of how much we complain about things we do not know. Also to balance things, if we didn't have Germany's money, we more then likely wouldn't have our treasured game to play.
I have to laugh, if Americans think so richly of themselves to think that the National German Game, its very own people wouldn't spend literally a ton of money, makes me believe those stating so, are small minded and self serving.
I know for a fact the forum in Germany do and have been stating unfairness in the Gems specials. Therefore, if they can accomplish a better rewarding buying gem system, it will be passed here.
And please, harping isn't becoming...
I vote for BB to close this thread .... and perhaps... how bout a new thread... Can we ask for what we want, instead of speculating on what we don't like?
Asiastrings
BTW- If i personally didn't believe in this game, i wouldn't of just spent the last 2 months in the most grueling of testing phases ever in my life of games doing... not to mention a most rewarding outcome, of which everyone will see very soon. I might also ad, the German BB's gratitude towards my work is wonderfully seriously appreciated... That' is how I've been treated. Unexplainable totally seriously graciously given whatever i wanted or needed with no questions asked, to keep on testing. Wait til you see what is coming. Every single thing that has been asked for has been granted pretty much in respect to those of us testing for everyone else. RonEmpire please ask him too...
This is my opinion and only my opinion. it is from experience, as well as playing for 8 months along side peeps from every server on our game, and most are my friends.
Seriously? Americans think so richly of themselves. I am seriously offended. They (me included) think no more richly of themselves than Germans of Germans, English of English, etc. I have lived in both countries and respect them and their culture. You sound so condescending. I see nothing wrong with ANYONE complaining in the forums. I prefer to complain directly to the main company CEO or CFO but I doubt seriously I would be given their name, email or mailing address.
Oh, I really do appreciate the amount of time you spend testing out the game and new features for everyone. For that and the feedback you provide the developers on our behalf I thank you.
Americans aren't rich. We're like in a failed economy. There used to be a time when USD >= EURO Now its USD < EURO.

GUILD MARKET CHANGE
Some time ago, the first international community vote was held related to the upcoming changes in the guild market. The guild market offer was updated with the maintenance to include the item you chose during the vote - the Silo - and other new items.
EXPERIENCE POINTS CONVERSION (for 50 level players)
As a first step, a brand new resource has been implemented to the game: Star Coins (not tradable and available only for level 50 players).
• All level 50 players will be no longer receive experience points for adventures, rather they will receive Star Coins instead.
• The epic raid adventures are an exception: instead of XP/Star Coins, level 50 players will be receiving additional Magic Beans from them.
• A special script that was executed during the maintenance converted all experience points that were acquired from adventures after reaching level 50 into Star Coins. The script affected only level 50 plazers.
IMPROVEMENTS
• Several improvements related to the trade system.
• The process responsible for updating the friend list has been improved.
• Several timing issues were fixed.

Was towards that quote... politics lol game politics, i just don't know why sometimes people must go on and on and on. if i showed a screenshot i have from just last week, this thread would go ballistic. I choose not to stir the pot. LoL
The Game is Germany's National Game. For goodness sakes, I' am thankful to play, with all the benefits we get and the participation and all the great people I meet, as well as the beginning of an MMO growing fast, is a giant success that we've all gotten to be a part of!
from test server
4 new shop items are:
gems for friends - yes you can gift gems for a friend xD
enchanced gold pickaxe - 5000 gold deposit for 750 gems (parrot gives 500 for 75, so no discount in this item, just more convenient)
enchanced iron pickaxe - 7500 gold deposit for 450 gems (iron diviner gives 750 for 45, so no discount in this item, just more convenient)
solar flare - 1 fish, no removes night (given by sandman buff) also not just snow
there are 4 new adventure also:
Invasion of the nords - 1450 gems, epic, 1 player, 6 diff
Pirate Life - 395 gems, 1 player, 6 diff, can give rare buffs
The Sleeping Volcano - 295 gems, 3 diff, 1 player, can give rare buffs
Sleepy Reef - 295 gems, 4 diff, 1 player, can give rare buffs
So what if it is the national game of germany, if they played baseball here does that mean we would get four strikes per out or maybe 5 runs four a grand slam after all baseball is our national sport. And I never had a problem with the different markets it was that it was different during a world wide event if it was open to all then all should be the same during the event.
I'm going to second that vote and suggestion. Although there is this official suggestion thread with a sticky on this forum too.
