I have been a strong player,signing on many times daily. I have spent over $1000 and am very low in game power. I am a farm to people who spend $1000 a week.I am in a very strong alliance and yet get zeroed by stronger alliances. If you are not prepared to spend massive amounts of money, find another game. It is no fun to be destroyed every other day by people with money who are 20 times stronger because they spend way more money. Ember has become so greedy for your money, they no longer care about your playing experience..just care about how much money they can get from you. I used to sign on 15-30 times a day with more on war weekends. I no longer war, and come on only 2-3 times a day any more.s said, if you have deep..real deep pockets, you will love this game..otherwise...
