Please bear with me, I am not the best writer :/
I have played over the years a lot of Travian, Tribal wars a few others like stronghold kingdoms many of them good in different ways and this game my lands seems one of my favourites the way it seems to be played ect
1 thing that i noticed though is you ask for people to use black gems in the quests which i thought was a bit cheeky as many people cant afford to add much money while playing and after looking at all the options to get bonuses by using black gems..
I feel they need to come down in price.
reasons I can think of are:
1~ so many places to sue them in the global and local services which add up fast
2~ the subscription (way too high IMO)
3~ the fact you ask for b gems in the quests to be used
4~ the fact the world and most people are struggling financially
5~ its a new game and the way to attract lots of players is have free and cheap stuff while offering your great game
IMO this game could have hundreds of thousands players playing it if you advertise it well, word of mouth works when the game is going well and people love it which I am sure most will but at the moment i think the cost of black gems needs to come down and the subscription prices need to cost a little less in gems maybe 25% less.
The amount of people you can get playing the game would make up for cheaper prices, and you will do even better
you need to be better and cheaper than other games that are already established, i think the game is better in most ways but not cheaper to play with gems.Hope this makes sense.
if you want me to go though the prices of gems and global and local services and make my idea up I can
