User blog comment:Bibimbap0920/Raise in price for Jewels and Nubee's implication behind it/@comment-25102474-20150221162716/@comment-70.51.76.139-20150221195845

Certainly, there is absolutely no obligation for Nubee to give prior notices. However, the fact that they are making changes as they see fit without giving any sort of notice is a display of complete disrespect towards their clients/playerbase. An analogy I would use is the following: It isn't REQUIRED for someone to give up the seat on the bus for the elderlies, but you'd be an asshole to not do so.

I would also like to once again emphasize that the thing I am concerned with is not with the raise in price of jewels (although I will admit that it was the primary motivation for posting this) - it's the lack of communication between Nubee and the playerbase. As a longtime fan of VC, I want this game to last as long as it can, and problems like this can certainly sow seed that leads to closure of the game. It might just be change in price of jewels now, but in the future it can be something that is even more game-breaking. Nubee has made a lot of addition/changes to the game that was not looked favourably by the playerbase over the last couple of months (which caused a lot of players to retire), and the primary reason why I believe they stayed the way they were was due to lack of player responses/lack of mode of convenient/clear communication.

The ultimate purpose of this post is not to have Nubee "bend to the will of the players", but to call for creation of an active channel that bridges both sides to have a transparent and symbiotic relationship, starting with Nubee explaining their stance in changing the price of Jewels. VC is a great game and perhaps I am looking too far ahead with this, but I'd hate to see it die because of lack of communication - would you?

P.S. Nowhere does it say in their ToS that Nubee can make any alteration to the game whenever they'd like (which is a double-edged sword, really).
