This particular time zone was a bust anyway. Grep froze for 90% of people server wide, across all servers for atleast a good half hour. No one could log in and time anything, I missed half a dozen OLU nukes to put behind my LS.
Was a great save, don't know how he managed to do it with the outage (presuming he couldnt log in also) but I certainly am not that committed to saving a city, i'll use my monies on a few cold ones instead
I can't justify spending $50 (rough guess) of real money to save a virtual city that is still prone to being confiscated every single day. But others can, good luck to them if they have throw away bills like that, I'm jealous I wish I could blow my nose with a hundred dollar bill too lol
Regardless of player or situation though, instabuy was the worst change ever made to this game. Time halving, with a max of 7 halves, was perfect. Great for the golders who want lots of stuff now to save their ass, but great for the non-golders or attackers who still had a realistic chance to beat the clock with a small window of where they still need to wait a couple mins for their stuff.
It was the perfect middle ground, I seen no other reason to change it besides greed knowing people will spend tonnes more money with this option. But i digress, we all know Inno are running a business and who doesnt want more money. It sucks, but nothing we can do about it if we wanna play still.
