Game grew back in 2005/06 because it was new and SG-1 was very popular and all over the various cable networks and even terrestrial TV channels.
This game has NEVER been "free", it's always had a cost and it's always been "Kingdom Games LTD" which incase you haven't noticed is actually a business. Ever since the start people have been able to donate to get an advantage. It's free, and still is, to play, if you want to pay you get an advantage, it's more noticeable these days sure, but the principle has been a part of the game since release.
Hate to break it to you but the whole game is based on people being competitive so arguing that it's just numbers in a game is pointless, pretty sure everyone here realises that, just like whatever you do in any other online game is the same, be it WOW, Guild wars or anything else.
All this does is give people an OPTION to get to max ascension level faster by reaching into their pocket and/or generating cash from the game or other games. No one HAS to do it, you can still ascend the standard way if preferred.
So why don't you take your whiny negative comments and shut up, hell you are not even posting any meaningful ways to improve the game, just a blanket whine about a game you don't even play about changes which actually do NOTHING to the current crop of powerful accounts, just make it slightly easier to reach max ascension level if willing to pay some cash to support the BUSINESS that runs this free to play game.
According to you that will "ruin the game", yes, of course, i mean having more active, competitive accounts can only be a bad thing, right?
Because new players really get turned on by the prospect of having 13-15 months before they can even get to keep their covert/AC levels and UP for more than 2-3 weeks?
Because people don't already trade resources and cash with other players for new accounts and/or resources for a boost?
