yet another reason no one bothers coming to the forums. Never ending games.
Perhaps if Plarium actually set end times to these, and committed, people might log in more often. Instead, they see a chance to win a very small amount of sapphs that takes forever and don't bother to return.
how about daily and weekly sapphire games.
Daily games for 500 sapphs x number of winners, and weekly games for 2500 sapphs and x number of winners.
Very mildly interesting.
Nowhere near interesting enough for me to bother.
Such cheap or small prizes, especially as Playrium is never actually `Giving Away`, ANYTHING. !
Awarding anyone 100, 1000, or 10,000, (pointless to go any higher as clearly it would give many at Plarium heart attacks at the very mention of such no.s), sapphires, does not cost Playruim anything. The way you offer such though is as though it does.
A large percentage of players would simply waste any significant amount of sapphires anyway, & very quickly, by, for example, buying troops with them. So why be so frugal with them anyway. ?
Because it`s a never ending quest for Playrium. Fleece as many as you can, for as much as you can & keep staff in regular holidays & lifestyle they`ve become accustomed to.
Then there`s the, choosing winners picked at random. Lol. Trust issues abound. It hardly fosters trust in Playrium or anyone else for that matter to use this method, which is obviously open to bias & favouritism for starters. Not much to show players transparency there.
What`s wrong with a traditional, first past the post method. ? `The first 50 or 100 people with the right answer/s win`. (onus then on people to get in quick).
How many people supposedly play the game. ? You think that making quizzes etc. for just 10 of them to win something is going to interest many. ??? Lol. Damn, you people are really amazing. How parsimonious. !If you gave out prizes of around 1k, 2k, 5k & 10k plus sapphires on a regular basis, then if the idea is to get more people using the forums & perhaps even the game more, then this would probably do just that. You start with a decent idea, then, go cutting it down to the minimum you can. The response you get is relative. Pay peanuts, get monkeys adage could be sited.
Instead of `giving` a small as poss. amount, to pique interest, why not `give` as large as poss. amount instead. ? Shock, horror, you may just risk the danger of people spending a LOT more time in forums &/or game. What a disaster that would be ay. ?
