Heck, if they toned down Hero bonus and made it 5 bucks a month, heck of a lot more players would be heroes.
But, I guess the price scheme is part of their balancing thing.

Demand vs Balance vs Benefits ... Or something like that.
TBH with the benefits I'd still only regularly pay about 5-8 dollars for it. I really doubt I'll continue for a 2nd month, I just wanted to give it a try.
Town/game balance.  Not what you the player thinks the benefit is worth.
Cheaper Heroes = More Heroes = More +10 day towns

Perhaps that is their reasoning, but I still hope they adjust the prices down a bit. The hero abilities aren't game breaking.

They arn't gamebreaking but 25-30 out of 40 players as a hero instead of 5-10 out of 40...  That is a balance issue at this time.

I guess I just don't think high prices are a good way to balance game mechanics.

Really liking my new town, The Chilly Cliffs.

I like the name, we only lost 1 person night one and despite only having four hours of playtime today we managed to build a workshop, portal lock, and watchtower (and we screwed up and built the tower first even!). Everybody is communicating well, and the only reason we lost the 1 is because I think he left while the clock still said "28 hours remain until day end"

Hehe, Savage Hideaway of Fire built the watchtower, workshop, portal lock, and the scanner tower in 4 hours, plus the scanner tower managed to make a bunch of squares west of town become undepleted =)

You mean search Tower? Scanner doesn't make squares become undepleted...

Man, since the beta ending the game became really really lonely.  It's sad, the world forums being hero only.  That, the insane amount of griefers and otherwise inactive people that have recently joined, and the fact that hero status costs like $15 a month means the game isn't really much fun at all anymore, and here I was thinking it would be more fun after the beta ended  :-\

Anyone here that I know?  I'm trying to find a way to get into touch with the people who I played with before, I mean, I can see them posting on the world forums but there's no way to send them messages or anything  :'(

Well, you haven't played with me yet, but I'm still around.
My non-beta town had a couple of idiots, but nothing much worse than beta as of yet.

My non-beta town doesn't seem to have any idiots, it just has nobody, at, all.  There are like three people that have said anything on the forums.  It's just plain stupid.  I want to like the game so bad because it was so fun during beta (Even though I never got a town that was any good at all) but I just don't think I can now that I can't even converse with anyone  ::)

All the non beta people I meet are overly agressive selfing dicks who scream they will attack me for having any items in my chest.
That's my whole town, I waundered out into the desert with what I had.

My town is full of amazing active people, so... just chance, I guess?

Also, world forums aren't hero only. Only the help and discussion forums are. you can still post in saloon, I've heard.
