Cents

Background
Cents is the second main currency in Evony after Gold.

Acquisition
Cents can be obtained in one main way and a few other, not as effective ones. The main way that Evony wants players to obtain Cents is to buy them for real money (see controversy section). They can also be obtained from chests (most of which require a key to open, which is only available for real money) and from the Wheel of (mis)Fortune.

Usage
Evony cents are used in the shop to buy items that are then found in the players inventory for usage. They can also be used to buy resources.

Controversy
There are many people that buy cents to help their accounts have an advantage over the other players on their server, but many people feel like this advantage is too big. After all, the Evony slogan is "Evony, Free forever". However, if players can buy huge advantages, especially in the beginning of a server, this is not very 'free' and not fair for the people that are not willing to pay money for a game.
