Speaking of that, a dynamic cap would be much better than setting it manually to 10% of the top account each time they/someone "beats" the system. :)

It was a DDE member who suggested the change ;)
A dynamic cap would be a better way to go, but it has only been changed 3 times since the game started 6 odd years ago. It's hardly necessary.

@femme, the cap has been out for ages, and it was discussed for awhile.

Re: 2012 August

lol I only know about the increase to 3b.. I don't follow all the discussions about changes, ppl start taking percentages and ratios and my mind crashes :D

a question about APP and turns
1. 18000 is minimum to refill, does that refill all or is it partical

2. is 4k still the max amount of turns you can have (I was asked this on msn, but had no clue about the new Market Turn option for converting g&r to APP) I haven't played main in months.

how is APP calculated naturally on ascended.. I know I get some building up but how long would 18000 normally take?

Section Admins - who will be 'in charge' of the section in question. They will be responsible for the overall feel of the section, the setup/structure, and most importantly the community/users in the section. This will incorporate the old 'ombudsman' role. And insofar as the Section Admin is responsible for the users, they are also responsible for the high level mod behaviour towards the users.
So -as a user - if you have an issue with how you are treated, rules, bans, whatever --goto the section admin... They are there for you!

There is no 'reporting structure' in this setup -- tech, mod, and section admins are all on equal footing, each with their own (somewhat overlapping) responsibilities.
Mods report directly to the mod admin, and indirectly to the section admin for the section in which they mod.

1. 18,000 is min, you trade everything you have (assuming you have 18k+) for a full refill. end of.

2. yes. If it changed then there would have been a warning in the update.
APP is naturally gained at the same rate for everyone i think... Just wait a turn change and find out how much you get.

Ya know there is nothing wrong with a bit of trial and error ;)

You may have mixed up your billions and trillions there ;) 18,000 APP means 7,355,160,000 LF - that's 7 bil., not tril.

As you can see, I was replying to the Jason :) 18,000 APP is 7 bil. LF, while your 4 trillions means about 10 million APP - I figured it was obviously from an ascension, so I didn't mention it.

Is the rate exchange rate different, or the generation rate? 'Cause it says almost the same thing for me on Cosmic Trade ("The 'exchange rate' is 408,630 life force for each 1 Ascension power point."). And if I do the math (LF I would get from the exchange right now/APP I have), it also works out.

generation of APP and LF is the same i believe, the actual exchange rate differs between people.
