Remember how on Saturdays, Hack Infiltration would have double the turns? This was to encourage play, but its also just a good idea. It makes it more fun. RWL belatedly implemented it in Turbo, with 15 turns every 10 minutes for like an hour every night. But don't let that turn you off Beatles, I think it would be a good idea to turn the turn rate up at specific times or days on BFR. What do you guys think?

I don't know. It would favor those who could get on at specific times, which might not be very good.

True.. why not at night then or something? When most everyone can get on?

Might work if we were all American. But we have a good sprinkling of British and other Europeans, and some people from Aisia, as well... Plus, even America has 4 timezones, it'd have to run 8 hours to make sure all Americans had a two hour slot to get on...

Well I guess as long as PST gets it in a good time slot I'm perfectly cool with any increased turn rate :)

True, but the majority of the people here are American, and if you ran it at 5 or 6 EST, it wouldn't be to late for those on the west coast. OR you could just pick a day and for that entire 24 hour period, you could have an increased turn rate. That would mean everyone got a chance to cash in.

I don't see how giving at a specific time would be good or bad for people in other time zones. They'd get it just the same the next time they'd log on. All one'd have to watch is going over the max turn limit.

Yeah. But those who are on during the elevated turns would get a better chance to use them. If your not on, then you just collect until full, whioch you would do by the next day anyway... I suppose you could up the max turns that you get...

This could work quite nicely. Max turns is mostly a non-issue, considering that this is to encourage more frequent turn use. Besides, max turns is not an issue at all on WOA.

Could be fun.

Any more people with thoughts on the matter?

I thought, a little while back, the emphisis was on making it so that people didn't have to get on so much, rather then encouraging them to get on more.

Also, sometimes it is an issue on WOA. If you're unable to get on for over 2 1/2 days, you lose turns, as both normal and stored turns are full. This wouldn't help. Now, I admit, not a lot of people will go 2 1/2 days without playing, but, still, it happens.
