Just curious why some things in the shop are more expensive for Upgraded accounts?  On the dogs/horses the price difference makes sense (50% more, which is about the same as the difference in bank income each week).  But on the dividers it is a pretty big jump.

There are a couple of reasons actually :).

The biggest reason is that inflation on the game is really high (high inflation means high prices, which in turn makes it harder for new or retuning players to catch up, and therefore turns people off of the game), so we need to keep it under control. One of the ways to do this is to raise the prices in the store to match the current rate of inflation to try to pull some of that money out of circulation.

But if we raise the price in the store for everyone, it would kill basic players who are generally new and don't have as much HPD to spend. So that's why you see the different prices in the store for upgrades versus basics.

As far as the dividers, I actually didn't realize they were that cheap until you mentioned it. The admins will talk about what price they should be set at!

Makes sense!  I figured it was something along those lines, but was a little confused by the difference in divider prices.  Everything else made sense, but those threw me.  XD
