It's a brilliant technique and it encourages players but it's all well and good, for now. In a few months the Northern Hemisphere will be in summer and who is going to want to be stuck inside in a stuffy room playing or betting CWF 5 days out of 7 during a balmy summer's evening. A few might but I doubt most will.

The real answer is do we need it weekly, probably not. Increase the amount of tickets you get fortnightly and there isn't any real difference. I really think weekly is a bit too much, it's overwhelming to have events stacked up on one another and while currently it draws play in eventually people will lose interest. Too much all the time, people like to take the odd break from any game especially if they enjoy it because it keeps their interest.

Evony is a very different game but the main reason people eventually quit was it took over your life. You play these games as hobbies, not live and breathe them.
