While we don't enforce every member to spend money on a free game, we do encourage you to get the starter pack and if possible Plus time on your account. Why? It makes the game a LOT more fun and user-friendly.
With the starter pack, which you can use before you get 600 prestige, you can:
Keep an eye on your prestige, you can only use the starter pack before you get 600 prestige. Don't click all those medals and try to stay away from the prestige competitions if you're in the 400-500 prestige range.
It's fun to have Plus! When you see a gold/24+ hr account competition, try to participate. Between those comps and the lottery ticket, you can win enough gold in a week to have a Plus account for a week. That way, you don't have to shell out a dime on the game.
Benefits of a Plus account:
What isn't listed is that you can service your trains at the same time and park your trains at the same time. The servicing part really saves time instead of clicking 25 lindworms individually.
To have gold for all of these extra bonuses, you need to have 1425 gold (which can be a lot!), which covers the starter pack and 13 weeks of Plus from Era 1 til Endgame. However, you don't have to spend that gold at the same time or have that much gold at the same time. Plus is 100 gold per week, while the starter pack is a one-time use of 125 gold. Just keep in mind that if you get 125,000 prestige at the end of a round, you'll get 125 extra gold, which pays for a starter pack the NEXT round all by itself. Again, you can just play the game for free, but when you can, use your gold for both the starter pack and Plus account for benefits that you can enjoy.
