Re: Error when attacking in Ascention. URGENT ATTENTION REQUIRED

I think the fairest thing to have done would have been to give everyone the same length in ppt 2 days at most, then put a notice on the realm pg saying that all dmu will be reset to 0 at the time all ppt's ended, people who log on would see the notice and spend the quadrillions DMU in there account before ppt's end and those that don't log in often don't have quadrillions of DMU out when the ppt ends for someone to nab, no one loses or gains that way,
Players who have the time to log on every now and then within the 12hrs the staggered ppt's end will still make a killing the way it is. especially the accounts that are the strongest already and can hit any account because there strike is high enough. Accounts shouldn't be able to profit from a bug period. ~Thamuz~

Admin basically did the same thing that happens on main after a serious bug/outage.

If he removed income from main Bug ppts. . I am sure there would be outrage over people losing 12 hours resouces/gr/uu, instead of just the few hours the game was out.

I see your point, but I think the consistancy Admin used, was right.

The resources would only be taken away when the ppt ended so that the people who log in would see the notice 12-24hrs before it happened and spend the DMU, I'd rather admin take the DMU rather than 10 people who are gonna be on constantly and make a killing. where would the outrage come from? if admin doesn't take the DMU someone else would/will. ~Thamuz~

Re: Error when attacking in Ascention. URGENT ATTENTION REQUIRED

game on. yay!

I got about 6.5Q in the first 5 mins, which it about what I would have farmed in the 3 days out so I'm happy :)

I see your point Thamuz, but I still believe a better option would be to have closed the server effectively putting everyone on vac for 3 days. Thus no need for rollbacks and 'taking of resources' by admin

Don't worry, its waaaay too hard finding accounts off PPT! I've only got 6 hits in 40 mins lol. Not a chance in hell it's one person getting the lot.

I agree with you Thumaz, it greatly benifited people who can spend alot of time online. I spent an hour and didnt get 500 trill. Meh, I guess its more then I'd normally get since I don't really care for the server considering its present state of defunk and lack of attention.

I agree with Thamuz and Lore.
Admin did try to make it fair but the outcome was the minority of players who could be online for 6 plus hours during the 12 hour period made a real killing and were able to radically boost their accounts. Whereas those who could not due to work or school missed out completely.

All in all it was a reasonable attempt to find a fair solution.
However, we should strive to equity in the future.
