They could do both...
And making the holiday packages normal would take the "specialness" out of them therefore it would no longer be a sale like they would have us believe. Having actual sales rather than packages that are always there should be giving them a bump in income when the packages do appear.
"Revan. It isn't my real name—never was—but it will do."
"Alderaan. They're on Alderaan."
"Fat people always lie."
"Honor is a fool's prize. Glory is of no use to the dead."
No I am not Christian, however as you may or may not know, many atheists and members of other religions celebrate Christmas and Easter, just not as representing the birth and resurrection of Christ. Albeit I did find your defense of of one type of discrimination by pointing out another type of blatant discrimination absurdly humourous. That is the intellectual equivalent of arguing against "stabbing people is wrong and a problem" with "No it isn't, because people shoot people also"

Ironically Halloween or All Hallows Eve is actually not an American Holiday even if it is celebrated in the USA, but a Pagan Celtic festival (festival of Samhain) by origin. You could have used it as an example of a non-American holiday that Ucool and Regan Mercantile offer packages on.
As far as the company being based in the USA, yes it is, as far as the majority of players being in the USA, My Tynon tribe is barely a US majority, and on Evony, also owned by Ucool and Regan Mercantile my Alliance is actually about 60-70% non-American. Are you seriously suggesting it is acceptable to insult and discriminate against people who are in a minority? (Albiet being an American company and the USA's history of discriminating against minorities I guess it should not come as a shock)
I was using examples and do understand it would be too much to cover every single religious and National holiday throughout the world,nor was I suggesting they attempt to do so. However ONLY celebrating American National and observed holidays and ignoring all the other users from around the world is what I have a problem with. Even simply a "Thank you to our international players package" type sign of respect twice a year would not be not much to ask, and would prove me wrong that they care nothing for players outside the USA. At this point in time I have witnessed not even one acknowledgement from Ucool and Regan Mercantile in Tynon or Evony that they have even the slightest respect for players outside the USA.

Honestly I think this may be a case of somebody buying the copper package the day before the sale hit (been there done that) and is bitter because there was no announcement in the forum that it was about to happen.
Not even close. I have spent quite a bit of money on this game at time of specials and no specials, I just happened to have had a national Holiday in my country that made me realize/notice Ucool and Regan Mercantile have never offered a branch of friendship so to speak, to non-American players.
well take it for what it is worth but you just sound bitter, after all what country and specific holiday would you like to see represented?
I play Evony too and they don't just do the American Holidays, they do many others too.
Tynon is only a year old, give them a chance to show the same here. They like to give promotions and will use any holiday as an excuse. And that is a good, positive thing.
