Well I played the Alpha and found it quite enjoyable.. I knew that the Beta would be different in some things but I never expected that you would have to totally buy Shardium.. Doesn't even seem to be a way to earn it either.. so since I can't buy Buffs without Shardium its made the game that much more difficult and out of my realm.. so good luck but I am outta here.. not going to play a game that makes me pay for the simplest things..

Ah, but you can EARN shardinium.. you just have to work for it. You can find it in some of the time bonus chests, you can earn 10 daily provided you earn max devotion. If you do your daily check in every day, you can earn another 35 by the end of the month. I cannot confirm whether or not it may be possible to earn it via drops from loot bags, mission chests, cards, or through guild casino, but that does not seem outside the realm of possibility.

It was stated many times in chat as well as on forum during the Alpha phase that shardinium would not be given out daily once the game went to Beta, so I am not understanding the anger. It was made clear that it would be available for in game purchasing only, so actually getting a bit here and there via chests is actually a bonus. The devs did not make this game unplayable if you could not have shardinium, they only made it more balanced and slowed down game play. What this means is yep, you are going to have to spend your gold, which was usually maxed out during Alpha, it means that you are going to have to wait for luck stones and socket gems to drop. It also means that you may wish to build your purse up a bit before enchanting items and spend some time leveling up your town. Trust me, I have no intention of paying to play, and so far, I'm doing all right.

Oh and ps Marci.. Not all of us read chat because the writing is so damn small and hard to even understand never lone read for older eyes that was pointless as well. even reading this is horrid... wait till you are older and see how you feel then..hmmm?
