a 40k raw UP costs 1.3trill.
And look at these numbers...
a 250k raw UP costs 50trill naq.
to get 10 huge UP planets and upgrade them(from 0, which i doubt you'll find any that low) to 50k each, and put 30bill defense on each one(keeps most people away), then thats a 500k UP.
And you know how much it costs to do all that? about 28trill. almost half the cost of the raw UP thats half the size...
but now that this update is out people are going to have to work and invest in the raw UP so that they cant rely on planets so much.

Like I said in the other up thread. Fantastic update.
I really like the way you think admin

I feel bad for the guys who have yet to ascend. Other than that, nice update. I thought giving the UP a 100% benefit when all the other were 50% was cool, but now I think it's more of a fair spread for the bonuses from planets.
Just another update to maintain a sense of challenge. Dissapointed, but I'm sure we'll all get through it and just double our efforts.

I have yet to ascend. I was and still am thinking of doing it in a month or two.
I love this update anyway. As a fairly young player I have done many mistakes and will do many more, but one of the first pieces of advice I got from my CO was to work my raw up. I would loose it when I ascended but it would be worth it in the end anyway.
I enjoy the challenge. I don't think ascention should be easy or cheap. Its the journey that matters and as this is a fun game I really enjoy the journey as I learn new things and meet new people in game.
Now I probably use alot longer time reaching my goals but its all in great fun.
Looking forward to seeing people struggle and working hard in reaching a goal that should be hard.
Thank you Jason

Admin you all need to compensate us all for the real money and naq we have invested on here in our planets. Thanks to you all you have just made it easier for the large accounts to stay on top and the small one to stay on the bottom. Admin has really dropped the ball this month starting with the threat of imploding. Which made the market run behind by about 2 days. Then you all made this last update and shut us all down for 24 hrs. Destroyed everyones UP without warning. You all as a suggestion should post in game messages to everyone voting on updates so you can get a more accurate depiction of what is good for everyone. And as far as I see the only people who likes the update are already at a 15 to 75 million man sized army. I remember when updates where few and far between and this game and Admin was more reliable. All I am saying it is like playing a board game with the rules always changing.

I absolutely dislike this update very strongly.
If you were going to do this... it should've been done like that from Day 1. Not after Trillions have been invested.

it doesn´t make it better if you post the same in two threads <_< also admin doesn´t need to do anything ... we should be lucky the game is still running <_< .. when the "implode" topic was posted i thought its the end of sgw
edit: was meant @Basil Rathbone

Why. Its not like it is lost [AK] Mystake.
If you increase your raw UP it will be back up to 100% production in a while again.
Is it too much to ask that you put a few bill in natural UP???
Basil: I have barely 2 mill people and I love this update. And several other small players have voiced their agreement to this update. It is quite fair you know.

I like this update means us guys who have the naq too afford the 100k+ raw up can use the planets more than the little guys who where hoping too use planets too get some help at growing.
anyone spot my sarcasm ?

No it is not fair when a person invests real money in it. And then they just say thanks for playing. They might as well crept into my house and stole all the money I have in my wallet. And once again this update don't affect small accounts but it will when you all try and grow to keep up with the larger forces.

its not like the money dissapeared, you just have to spend more "money" (aka naq) to get your raw UP higher and then you´ll get the UP you had before + the UP you added to raw UP

Perhaps you should take the game a little less serious and enjoy the ride. It is a free game after all. The money that you invest into it is really not needed to enjoy the game.
If being the best means everything to you then work harder and realize that it will take some more time.
This game caters to a great deal more players than just the handful that posts here.
And for most of us more regular and amateur players this update makes it abit more difficult but no less fun =)
Sit back and enjoy the ride.

I mainly used them, but like what has been said i will have to change tactics and work round it, its really going to hurt ppl that havent ascended to lg yet and havent got a big raw.
This is a war game and you do need to change tactics, its all part of it, admin is the abstacle in the way, find another route to your goal.
