some of us are poor and sure would like to get them a little easier. maybe a daily bonus or something. like a point per day signed in or something like that.

That could be a good incentive... and a way for people who can't pay, to bank slowly some GP.

yeah but you forget that Dan does this partly to make some cash , so In reality if it ever came down to it I wouldn't expect more than 1/4 point a day logged in

Math ain't yer best skill is it No every week would be 1.75 points if you log in and take your turns everyday. it would a slow way for someone to bank some GP but still make it so if someone's just gotta level Incredibly fast by buying energy cubes and repairs they still have to pay for the GP. No Zophah To be fair to all I don't think it should be retroactive also that would eliminate a lot of the Higher players from Dan's paycheck since I'm pretty certain some of them got up there by buying GP and still Use GP for Artifacts that you cant get on the Draw .

For the record, most FaceBook games provide Reward Points slowly through leveling or daily play (like 1 reward point per level, for example).

Yea, I know - money (real money) is the most powerful tool. Funny how other games make even more of it still giving away a few reward points, though.

Yeah think about it  . Dan should earn money from this game for all the enjoyment it gives the players who participate. How much time and money do you spend on entertainment? Do you go to, buy, subscribe, rent -- movies, video games, board games, sports, TV, etc.... If so then spend just $20 USD and get all the GP's you'll ever need to have fun in this game. Their are options for spending less. Dan isn't Microsoft and I doubt he could charge $1 in the USA and one unit of currency in a 2nd or 3rd world country. Besides how do USA people feel about the fact that Microsoft charges more than double for their software in the USA than in China given current exchange rates? If you don't have any money at all then you'll have to suffer without GP's. Who knows you might be able to find some method (work) to earn money to buy GP's with currency unless your young and need your parent to make the payment. Even if that is the case -- my 5yr just asked if she could earn money to buy a toy I refused to buy her in the store. My wife and I are going to give it a week and if she still wants the toy we'll have to come up with some chores for her to do and earn the money for the toy. I'm unemployed, previously the bread winner, and had to go to my parents house to do yard work so I could earn some money rather than them hiring a lawn crew. I've done this for my uncle too. It's humbling to say the least!

It certainly is Brian and kudos to you overcoming any humility and doing what needs to be done. I own my own business but don't make nearly enough to keep the lights on let alone pay for the internet so I too visit the 'rents and work help them out at cost (just this past month I replaced the ties to their retaining wall) but being at home several days a week and not earning, that hurts on many levels. So I also watch the kids. (All under the age of 4) Which by the way, both gives me day-long access to GL while simultaneously keeps me away from the laptop, chasing toddlers.. LoL
