Re: Petition for PPT for server down times

giving everyone PPT untill they log in is a very good idea, how ever that could cause more problems. I agree with the whole thing in general.

I love this idea I wouldn't log in for a month :-D


A shorter ppt, few hours, cancels when log in.

Re: Petition for PPT for server down times

im lucky enough to have never been farmed so far though i still agree with this, 6 or 12 hour PPT after any server down time regardless why the server is down.

I voted no. If the server goes down the server goes down.

Or vacation mode for everybody until they log in, then PPT for 30 minutes or 1 hour.


Oh, I forgot:
- Thanks, Waski, for killing 88,000 units for only 1 billion Naq with 4 attacks...
- But I do not blame the other one who took all the rest of my Naq although a part came from my previous PPT; it could have been everyone else (but I blame you for having attacked me twice within 5 hours).

Re: Petition for PPT for server down times

I think if it's serious downtime there should be ppt.

However, on the front page it read "will be back shortly". To me that says, you might want to not go too far if you don't want to get hit otherwise you'll lose a lot. For me, I had a great time farming. For those that were nice and pmed me, I even gave a % back to them.

The thing about 24 hour ppt's is that it brings the game to a complete standstill for that time. And, the exact same thing happens as if no ppt, those that can log in get a huge farmfest and those that don't get farmed. You win some and you lose some.

Screw you , its not our fault that you got hit , farmed , raided stop bad mouthing people like killtacular , its people like you that stop people from coming to the forum. Bad mouthing people that dont agree with you , the ppt would not be smart , somewhere i heard that if the downtime is longer than 12 or 24 hours then you get a ppt.

Well i read through this topic and apart from the people saying no i would have to agree with this one the most.

PPT that ends when you log in would be bad, people could not log in for weeks, then come back and they've got a stockpile of untouched naq because of the PPT.
PPT less than 24 hours(this has been said before) would just cause problems with other people.

It's fine how it is, you lost what, maximum 2 days of income. It's nothing...admin was fixing a bug, (look in commander rankings, ranked number 1, god the winner for us) he has massive amounts of naq.... that's what admin was sorting out. I think for the naq you've lost, i would prefer lossing 100bill naq than have more cheaters in the game ;)

Re: Petition for PPT for server down times

Maybe have it like vacation mode, it only lasts a certain time and when you log in it gets canceled, say a 12 hour ppt or 24, and when you log in it is canceled.

I get a 20minute window to log in before i go to school and the chances of it being in that time are unlikely... but it did happen lol + i only lost 9bil so not to fussed.
It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.

Re: Petition for PPT for server down times

i lost my overnight incoem due to the downtime and my market trade since i was saving it for a pPT, but then the game went offline, so i couldn't even buy me a PPT yet alone bank...Sucks big time, so i say a short PPT after a down time is necesary, or it breaks up the strategy....

Re: Petition for PPT for server down times

It would be best to have a free PPT for a set amount of time every time the server goes down, as when I work I only have two short periods of time during the day to check my account. Even if my account was put on vacation mode until I next logged on, that would be something and would cover any guys whose PPT was coming to an end at the time the server went down. It would also mean that the first guys back onto the server don't have a huge (but unfair) advantage over everyone else.
