The price hikes broke my addiction, too! I was at 3891, and with the doubling of the prices, I just quit playing. The price increase was such an insult, it ruined the fun of playing.
I’m glad I’m not the only one to be disgusted by the greed of the recent price increases. Double the price for gold bars and the piggy bank. I deleted the game and won’t play again if the price increases stay like this.
