I just installed AoE Online the day before yesterday to give it a try and started an Egyptian Civilization. I got to the point where I was sent to Sparta by the Hellenic ambassador to talk to Leonidas. I did and he had a quest for me which I subsequently picked up. Upon picking up the quest I received an Arena to place in my capital city, but apparently I can only do so with Premium. However I do not intend to get Premium, at least not untill the release of the next two Civilizations (more interested in Celts and Persians). In the meantime I am stuck with a blueprint in my inventory which I can not use, can not sell, can not trade, and can not delete. In effect this means my inventory has just shrunk with one slot, while the game's inventories aren't that big in the first place.
This imo, is ridiculous. I am perfectly fine with being unable to play the game to its full extend without premium. I am not fine with the game's free to play experience being progressively limited to force me to get premium. Honestly, it is stuff like this that makes me reconsider whether I will get premium at all.
Is there a workaround to this problem, can I get rid of the blueprint, or can I delete my city then recreate it with the same name (and start again from scratch)?
|||There's no way to get rid of the blueprint as of now. It sucks, I know. However, you can delete your city and create it with the same name. I did that a week ago when I upgraded my account to premium just so I can experience it fully. In fact, I don't think that the city name is unique, since I have saw someone else with a city name of Cairo.|||
As of now the only way to get rid of it is to reset your city by deleting and starting over and not accepting these types of quests. I know it sucks i did it too. Also you should also never turn in quests that give you a premium item. That way it's one less item slot being taken up or one less ripoff from the store then if one day you go premium you'll have the items storage free the whole time.
I'm sure they will correct this problems because every single F2P is mad at about this obviously. It just pisses everyone off because they are clearly trying to push you into getting premium by quickly jamming your inventory with premium items. Their should be an option for us to either allow premium items (on F2P Civ) or not. But theydefinitelyneed to remove the can't delete item restriction. It is like False Advertising because you are progressively being more limited as you progress in a F2P account. It's this kind of scam attempts that pushes F2P Players away who may one day get a premium civ or were undecided about it and some will even leave and never look back because of this. So yeah this has to be fixed ASAP or this game isn't going to last very long for all of us.

You can recreate your city, it deletes instantly then you just recreate it. There are a variety of home city terrains, three maybe four, so you might want to recreate it a few times untill you get one you especially like.
There are a few different item slot hogs you have to watch out for if your too cheap to pay and it really matters that much too you. Someone made a topic about it for the egyptian side of things but this forum moves so fast that damned if I can find it. The Arena, the advisor hall, treasury and a couple of monuments are the ones you have to look out for, you will have to get at least one to progress the campaign though, the Trojan Horse and the Large Step Pyrimid depending on the civ. Wouldn't be able to give you the exact mission names though, so you'll just have to check the quest rewards for them untill they fix this 'issue' in a patch.
