Just as the other reviews state, it is for sure a pay to win game. It starts off fun and the first 2 or 3 packs are fairly cheap, then that 4th pack is 99.99, and every pack there after. I spent well over 12 grand on my first account within the first year of paying this game and was barely staying afloat. You have to drop at least 3 grand a month into this game to be top 100 player and that's only for your world. Other worlds come in and zero you out in seconds before you even get notifications.

I played this game for a little over a year. It was really great when it first hit the scene. So fun meeting and communicating with people all over the world. Helped build a really strong alliance and we were actually doing pretty well. It was easy to build up and create a formidable stronghold but sooner rather than later everyone who really wanted to compete was having to spend hundreds of dollars, including myself. I had to bow out. Leaving behind many new friends in the process, as you really do come to know many new people, but, it was just WAY too much to keep up with. I don't mind having to spend a "little" money for a game or experience but, not THOUSANDS of dollars! As depressing as it sounds that's exactly what MZ expects from you. Not just 50$ or 100$ (which should give you everything you need in ANY given game) I'm literally talking thousands of dollars. Everything "NEW" that comes out...be prepared to pay for it in a 100$ pack (minimum if you really want to compete) and you don't even get everything you need from that alone...I watched a lot of people waste a lot of money on this BS. F***ing crazy. *Game is a pay to play...don't waste your time or money.

CASH COW. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I used to have fun, was spending a little money every month and had grown to the point that I wasn't a target to everyone. Then they upped the price of all packages to $100. I bought one still, once in a blue moon. Then they changed gameplay all together. All the items i had paid for in the past (food, soldiers, money, et cetra) became USELESS and I HAD to buy multiple hundred dollar packages to keep from being slaughtered constantly. No more.
