I find it reasonable I am also pretty happy about this x3 the time I have money to buy diamonds there's a sale of course I have to wait >.> and I'm impaitent but it's great.
I also agree, I would be in favor of an ad banner. it would help you guys bring in some extra money.

We have been contemplating ads for awhile now. It's very possible w/ our new layout that we will implement them in the future. We will of course make them as non-invasive as possible and have a way to disable them through diamonds somehow.

There will be a 25% reduction in prices. So basically, with our new unit price, each unit will be $4 instead of $5.

In all honesty, I was wondering when we'd see a drop in bonus tiers like this happen. I enjoyed the 3000 extra per $100 spent when I could afford it, but will be even happier with the new pets, zones, etc. that we will see with from the extra money you'll have by giving lower bonus tiers. I usually buy diamonds during sales, and once in a while when there isn't one, and will continue to do so. I'm really looking forward to seeing the new pet when it is released.

Amberanime,
Well, nothing is changing in regards to the price of Diamonds. If you want to buy 1000 diamonds, it will still be $10. We are just reducing the bonus tiers. For the $10 and now $25 bonus tier, it's not really a big change. The biggest reduction is the $50 and $100 tier in which we were giving away a really ridiculous amount of money. For those who spent $100 (which we greatly appreciate when players do), we were giving them a free $30 of diamonds. I can guarantee you will find no other company anywhere in the world with a 30% bonus reward on a $100 purchase lol.
Through careful monitoring and consideration (as we do with any decision regarding Sylestia), we realized we were giving out a very high percentage of free Diamonds to players. We aren't exactly rolling in cash and are trying to find ways to improve our revenue so we can invest more into the Site. Lately, we've had to hold back on new content (like species, genes, avatar stuff) due to a lack of funds.
So I'm sorry if you disagree with the decision, but it's kind of a necessary change for the overall good of Sylestia.
Ok I did not know that. I'm still a bit sad about it though but I understand.

You start playing on monday you get a diamond or diamonds on sunday. You are not online for even one day like thursday for example then you have to start over and wont get the reward on sunday.
A few other games I play do this and works like a charm. And again people who can not afford to buy anything can still save for something nice, though somewhat slow.
It is a nice way to repay loyal players who play everyday. Not only the ones who have some cash. I understand the need for income. But the people who are buying diamonds now or plan on buying will still buy even with such a reward because most do not have the patience to collect diamonds like 1 or 3 a week. Lets say you are lucky and get 5 diamonds every week. Then it still takes a 100 weeks to get 500 diamonds to buy a stable. That is 700 days. I don't think people who have the money for it are willing to wait that long (and you cant wait for monthly items). But people who do not have the money can still save up for a new stable so they can buy new pets later on. Even if it does take 700 days. (And it takes a loyal player to be online for 700 days)
Also once people have a few diamonds and they know they actually can buy something later on they will look foreward to buying it. They might even lose the patience and in turn start to buy diamonds. People who might not have considert buying diamonds otherwise. There is a chance you get more income trough it and people withoud money can collect for a stable (very slowly). It's a win win situation.
