Tl are absolutely aware of it! They prepared for this massive change for a long time, and said so at the time. We spent weeks trying to figure out their master plan, but we are still not a hundred percent sure.

It seems they crunched the numbers, and decided that the loss of players, would be offset by the increased spenditure on gems by the smaller number of players left.

Maybe they had to many players not buying gems at all, costing them too much money running the server. And now the new players who come along don't realise it ever used to be different, so they play on blindly, wondering why they never make any money.

At the time I quit, my next expansion was going to cost 40 million.
