Full list of Changes

[Ruddertail]

1: Bank fix. Cash over the max now leaks out over a period of time, at a rate of 10% of bank account per hour.
2: Market storing fix. Pull penalty is now 90%. We plan to change it so you can adjust your prices, so don't lose your troops by pulling them off and taking the 90%.
3: Reserves. You can now store 25% of your troops. You pay some upkeep, but not as much as for troops on your account. There is a possibility this may be bugged, so keep a close on the possibility of one type of troop morphing to another. If/when we track this down, we'll fix it and let you know.

We do apologize to those of you who had extensive market stores, and will try to get that market price adjustment feature going, so you can avoid losing those troops.

P.S. Just FYI, none of us - other than Beatles - knew when this was coming. I had 7 mil T3 on the market, and found $34 Bill on my account when I logged in.

[Freenhult]

Indeed. I found 11bil sitting out. I started to sack a key person, but decided that it was a bad idea. I had some outside influence in that decision, but still. Be nice for like.. a few hours. xD

[Shadow I]

Wow is that ever gonna hurt. Could you let me pull my army before you kill 90% of it without warning?

[Death]

lmao.

Good work. I'll definitely be playing from now on. Do these changes also apply to WoA?

[Arthus]

Wow, alright, had no idea the changes were coming, and was gone all day, log on to finding around 14 bil stolen and 34bil sitting on me. Some warning so I could have spent it all beforehand would have been nice... didn't have to say when, the message, in the next few days, changes will be added would have sufficed other than just doing it. Whatever.

[maddog]

ouch thats just stung me hard i hope someone starts buying my troops then or i gonna lose around 150mill net end of set if not more

[Freenhult]

Notice where we said, we didn't know either? You guys weren't the only ones.

[Arthus]

I meant that it should have been mentioned to everyone that the changes were coming, other than just doing it. That's all.

[Freenhult]

Oh. Completely agreed. I would have pulled my stuff off to and such. *Sigh* Oh well. 25mil hares lost to the markets. D:

[Ruddertail]

Aye. I only lost 7 mill, so I had it easier... but, yeah. Didn't know it was coming at all BFR this round.

[Death]

Well this should teach you all a very important lesson. Just because a code supports playing cheap, doesn't mean you should.

[Slasher]

Well thats pretty lame, you should have waited until the next set at least or at least put it on the dev server first.

I think I've just totally gone off this set now, I was trying to find time to play but now it's all kinda fooked up what's the point?

Not being a sore loser or anything but that's my strategy of this set ruined - as well as many other people's.

It just gets worse doesn't it... the scaling gets removed which is a good thing then some other bullsh!t messes it up.

[Death]

Look at it this way, every single other empire in the game got screwed the same as you, so you're all on a level playing field still (more or less).

[Ruddertail]

Meh, what's done is done. I honestly didn't intend for it to go up on BFR at this point, but that's how it was done. Anyhow, slasher, it's the 19th, and everybody else is in the same boat as you are. You've still got plenty of time to try for a win, even, or a decent placing.

[Slasher]

If I could find more time, then yes, but otherwise the strategy I was doing was the easiest one in the short space of time I usually get to do a run. Anyway I suppose I'm gonna piss off again until it's fixed or until next set cause I really can't be arsed to work out yet another strategy due to gimpy changes.
