I don't know if everyone is being given the link or if it is just random, but I just logged in and was given an official link to an official poll being conducted by Elvenar. The meat of the poll is entirely about the Magic Academy. Penjara, it is hard to believe that you didn't push this, so no matter what the couple of sycophants defending the Academy say, know that you are at least making the Elvenar team think.
Narquelion, I hear what your saying, but I have a different viewpoint. Rather than doubling my production for a single building with a spell, I can double the production of that same building by building another one. That other building I build will take less space than the 25-square magic academy regardless of what level it is. And the increase is permanent--permanent! Not only that, but it keeps my choices wide open, I can put whatever building I like in that space, or none at all. And for lower-level players, that space will do more than double production because they can fit more than one building in it. Since they are sticking the Academy to people from the first chapter, and a relative few players are as advanced as you, I think consideration should be more weighted upon the ones who are not so advanced. But even for the advanced, you have more option without it. In a game where little can be done in less time than 3-hourly, and you need to look ahead weeks or more in advance to avoid snags, I'm far more about the long-game than quick and temporary boosts.
