Well, it's happened in almost every multiplayer game ever that has a currency and a way to transfer stuff between accounts. So you can never be too careful.

Now I see what you mean Chess. But the shard is not a currency that is super valuable. Coins are bought so I think they are technically more valuable. This could be a way of trading, people who want coins can trade with others using shards but someone has to buy the shards in the first place. And if they offer many shards for 1 coin (I think 1 warcoin is about 20 shards right now based on the shop prices) then they can get them.

Wow. 20 shards is equivalent to 1 war coin. That hardly seems fair for real money spent. >_>
This too shall pass.

That is a simple conversion factor that I derived based on the price difference between warcoin prices and shard prices in the shop. For example, for upgrade 1 it costs 100 warcoins but 2000 shards, for the races, most of them have the same "20" multiplication factor between shards and warcoins. There are a few exeptions like upgrade 2 and limited premiums. For boosts however, it is approximately 30 shards vs 1 warcoin. Boosts were not included in the conversion factor that I provided since the boost prices were consistant with each other and almost everything else fell under the 20 shard vs warcoin factor.

I know, I just am surprised. I'd figure you'd get more bang for your buck. Because Lopdo added shards to the game, war coins aren't really worth much now, except to buy premium with.
This too shall pass.

IMO, premium should increase the shards amount per game/level up/login. This would be a very positive reason to buy Premium for many more users. Easier purchases of races and more-so boosts over the long haul.

I agree. This would make buying premium more attractive. Currently, premium only offers one useful feature and that is double xp.
