Seeing trade history in pergatory

Now, I have done a bit of trading since getting my SS. However, since going into pergatory, I cannot see my trade logs. I realize this won't affect most people, but I don't see the harm it would do to be able to see what you have already done.

Not to mention that I put notes on some of my trades, and now I can't read them. I realize I'm probably going to get some messages saying "just get out of perg n00b" (especially after having mentioned that just now), but it is something that can be potentially helpful.

3)Supporter Give functions (and the trade broker) do not work in Pergatory.
4)The market does not carry or accept raw resourcesin the Pergatory realm - no units, no naq, no turns.
5)The black market & supporter packages do not provide turns - they instead provide the equivalent in extra currency&units.


Why have something if you can't use it there? How would it be more useful if the trade broker and give function does not work? What is the purpose of showing it?

I could see how people would be confused if they could see their logs, possibly thinking that they should have the ability to use the broker and give function.

Well, personally, I put notes on some trades. Some of these notes involve future transactions (for instance, other player will give me more of X resource later). I have one case where the other player is wondering how many turns I am owed, but the information is not available, as it was put in my notes. Also, I (and others, I'm sure) delete trade complete messages, so the trade broker log is the only way to see those messages once this has been done.

There is also the issue that, after a month, the trade history is cleared anyway, and so anyone who does a trade, then goes into pergatory for a month, can currently have no way of remembering the trade, assuming the mail is deleted (as I again assume most players do, especially given no warning that trade logs cannot be seen).

To eliminate the possible confusion, the button to view the trade history can simply say "Private Trade History" in pergatory instead of "Private Trade Broker." Also the page would look different, not having the 1/2 screen of things that would only need to exist if you are able to broker (for instance, the "trade to" section would be removed in that page).

An alternative suggestion, I suppose, would be to include a small warning about not being able to see the trade logs in "what happens when I go to pergatory realm?" or whatever it's called.

And Spacey, you should know by now that "why should it be there if you can't use it" isn't exactly a valid reason :wink: Look at the technologies page for most people. Or the pergatory button for those with over 25 million army.

I think they should lower the turns to get out perg!

I think 720 is too much.

and i think you should put the market in perg also.

Yeah I think the turns should be lowered a little, but I'm fine with no market, if we can see the trade history.
