So unless those games prices end up drastically different then I'm loosely looking at something like this...
For all of EG last year I spent roughly 20-25m silver. Less than 8m of that was used to buy merchandise/merchant time.
So that leaves us with 12-15m in games. At 1,000 silver per, that's approximately 15,000 game turns.
If Simu sells booklets of 50 for these games, as history with DR and DM have shown, I'm looking at purchasing 30 books. If the price remains the same, that's 5,000 simucoins per book or roughly $36.66 per.
So, in order to play the same number of games that I played last year for $55, I'll now have to spend $1,099.80.
While this is based on a lot of conjecture, we do have a fairly solid history of what Simu charges for books/shovels/dollhouse runs to go off of.
I think the dollhouse 50ct books may have only been 4500 so $33 per 50-ct book or $990 for 30 books.
Is my math particularly wrong here?
ACTUALLY, that doesn't even include the price of raffles/merchants/necropolis-revamp. Soooo yeah. EG just got super expensive for me to play it the same way I have in the past.
As far as the extension goes, that was nice of him. The adding a bunch of things to envelopes to entice people to spend more as part of that apology for the delay, that left a bad taste in my mouth. I do hope you and yours are safe in Houston.
