There is no point arguing against each other over how we've managed to fund. The initial point of the thread was to try and voice the complaint against the new pricing and how that will ultimately kill the game. From the responses from EE, and his remarks regarding EA, neither have intentions to try working something out that will make the user-base want to continue playing. It seems that there are probably directives from high above to wind this game down. Thinking the funding issue will likely be the cause of that happening. I've seen posts from some of the players in the top alliances, talked to players in the top alliances, and the majority all are saying that once their funds run out, they are leaving the game. Could be just talk, or it could be actual. If true, the numbers seem to be somewhere in the 300-400 range; and those players represent a large, and active majority of players.
It is a shame that the game has slowly died down, it was an extremely fun game in the beginning, but this new issue is going to about clean out the rest of us holding on for whatever good reason we still had to play.
