this the end of cheap power on realm2?

Man, now they are selling power for 0.06 per unit- DOUBLE the prices they sold just yesterday. That's not cool! Down with greedy power suppliers! In some cases TRIPLE!

I dont get what you are trying to say...

With those prices of 0.03...players were hardly getting ANY PROFITS...they should have the right to earn the most money for providing the game with the BASIC raw material...

If you cant give them that credit...you shouldn't be producing anything that requires power.

I was doing some calcs on Kapitools, and if this is true for output of Power Station:

Product Quantity/1h Quantity/24h
Power
Production costs: 0,01

no kidding... my Power stations Production cost for power IS 0.03... (their in Turkey/Red) if i were to sell Power at 0.03 i would be LOSING money from the fee and not gaining anything because i am selling for the same amount i prodice it at.

Well, I did the dumb move of building a TV Station in a red zone to make Ads. The Ads cost 900 per unit to produce, yet they were selling on the market for 700. Moral of story- watch where you build your factories!

yeah good point... if power was not profitable then POWERBA NK would not be at TOP 1 position in fixed assets when selling it at 0.03 all this time

Well i dont really care much about Power... I hate to see any market basicly at a Production cost... but i only use my 24 Power Stations to feed my 60 Oil wells... i just sell the extra for side cash..

Powerbank joined the game when the prices of power were pretty high and power was in high demand...

He made power...and grew fast...Once he had enough power production to still make huge profits at 0,03

if thats truely what he's doing... Then thats is very SMart tactics

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 20.11.2007, 02:54

Yes..I agree...Its really great tactics...

And the best part is that noone can possibly grow faster than him...becuase most players are growing OFF HIS power...

We could of course boy cott his power to make sure he stops growing...But:
1. That will be a conspiracy against ONE PLAYER
2. Noone will listen to us coz they like cheap power...

So, unless all players make their own powerp lants and try to be INDEPENDENT concerning power...Powerbank wcannot be overtaken

Even if all this works, POWERBANK has enough cash to complete transform his business into something else that could use his power for earning better money

POWERBANK plays really smart...Knolls would call him a true contrarian...becuase a smart player would have seen R1 and never made power...but POWERBANK did the opposite of that to make money

He actually deserves to be the top player on this Realm

He probably knew that we would work out what he could be doing, but he probably knew we would notice this well after he is strong enough to support himself and not need power-buyers to help him.

This of course is a theory...so noone knows for sure

well, first thing i have to agree on that power was to cheap yeah....
while on realm 1 its price is round 0.1 caps

you can say the profit % is like 1000% at 0.1 but you must consider the low price compared to everything aswell yeah, so there basicly not making huge profits....

second thing is realy....you realy belief he got number 1 on fixed assets by just selling power? comon guys....this game is just a few weeks old and noone can get 55mil+ in assests plus the remaining caps he has, since that would prolly take months to achieve that and its without any doubt he invested prolly 50-100 euro to buy coins and sold those to system

nice one mark. I agree with you. I started kapilands quite late and when I started power prices is like 0.06, and it is like 3-4months back and kapilands started even longer I think, 6-8 months back and I am sure power price is even lower than 0.06.
