I started playing this game 3 days ago. My first impression was, wow they are really pushing their booster packs. Sure every game needs to make money but so many different features all over the screen....
But for me the thing that has driven me away after three days dedicated gaming is that I have to constantly work around the immovable, in your face, "special offer" icons that dominate the lower centre of the screen.. Really do you think people are that moronic that they might forget about the ruby deals if you put them at the side?
Grepolis tried the same thing a few years ago by placing a big buy gold feature front and centre. They got so many complaints they moved it to the side,... and that was only haf the size of the icons that stretch from the bottom of the screen to the centre here.
So that's it for me. Too pushy, too greedy, too demanding to the point that it actually interferes with your ability to enjoy the game.

I have been playing for 4 days. I worked hard to save up my rubies. Then there was an offer to buy a well with almost 1000 rubies and you could occasionally double your rubies with it. I bought it and paid the 1000 rubies. After it was built I tried to use it and it said that I needed a "lucky penny" to use it. After some research, I learned that the lucky penny had been removed from the game and could not be obtained in any way. The well was useless and when I asked about it a moderator replied that the penny was no longer in use and closed the thread. Why would something be offered to you that was totally useless? Luckily I did not buy the rubies that were stolen from me, but if I had the response would have probably been the same. If GGS rips you off, you may consider disputing the charges on your credit card and leaving the game as I am going to do. There are many more reputable companies out there. Good gaming!
