Tanki Online - Premium AccountThe Premium Account in Tanki Online is one of many new features and another way of generating revenue for future development. I therefor do not have an issue with this feature but however it is not something I take advantage of a great deal but I perhaps should. Providing you play enough games and are reasonably successful in kills and placings in the battle, it is very worthwhile. If you buy crystals often then this should be a better option as you are rewarded 50% more crystals and XP in every battle you play in, so if for example you buy $19.99 of crystals each month (45,000 crystals - or 90,000 crystals when you have 50% off offer), you can easily pay just $10 a month and accumulate more than 90,000 crystals in the time your Premium Account is active.
You are also given a special paint which provides an extra 15% protection to your tank in every game against all other tanks, making it slightly harder for enemy tanks to destroy yours.
The Premium Account has caused a certain amount of jealousy and even resentment in some cases in the game. Bearing in mind that the vast majority of players are under 18, their ability to buy crystals is much less than it would be for a working adult and as you are rewarded a higher share of the battle funds than non Premium Account players in your own team, it is considered to be unfair.
To that I have to repeat that I have no problem with it as I have the money to do so, and without the income from players, Tanki would probably never improve, worse still it could cease to exist. |
