I would doubt they have as big an impact as the smallest 10,000 players in-game, needing their rank, unit production, income etc to be calculated and updated

The rumour has it that buying extra ppt will take away one regular market ppt.

Any confirmation on this?

Should that be considered a bug if you can't even get a full 2 day ppt out of it? Really 1/4 of a normal ppt and it charges a person for a full one...

What about say not using the full 12hours, anyone try it with less time and see if its still the same?

We tested it twice and it didnt affect our normal PPT.

hmm... seems solymr is experiencing different results... bug?



as for bank size bonuses, they might boost & multiply previous bank size bonuses, or it may simply add to them...

as I said elsewhere, I've already heard of 500 - 600 tril bank sizes with a friend in Reaper's Bane...




and does the Showcase Power Level raise your displayed Alliance Power?

or is it even more worthless?

if your increased bank stays the same when you leave an alliance, could be well exploited by empires, by moving all players to one alliance of the empire, upgrading it there, then moving everyone to another branch of the empire.

perhaps making the charge relative to the number of people in the alliance.

Well, the visit to the backroom was very pleasant. I was getting ready for George Micheal to pop out and give me a rendition of "Lets go outside"
but was shocked to find a rather pleasant room, with flowers on the table and a large throne.

Phew ... Wowza! You feel relieved, personally, but are not sure how the alliance has benefitted. At least it was a freebie....

:lol: :lol:

On a seroius note, what is a visit to the backroom as me personally, see that as a 1-1 vendetta where there is no holds barred :razz:


And to clarify.

1) The alliance wide PPT. You can choose 1 to 12 hours and thats usable within 1 week.
2) If I have taken 2 ppts already, then if this is initiated for 12 hours do I get it or not
3) If I have taken no PPT, and this is initiated (12 hours) then does it take 1 MT PPT therefore leaving me only 1 MT PPT left,.

Sorry, but the above replies did not clarify it for me

Thanks

it has already has been done by some empires.
this i what most people are kicking off about that it's unfair that a person may go from one alliance to another to increase their bank to the quad marks

though most alliances who have the ability to bump bank size that high also have a tendency to take things rather personally when they feel they are being used by disloyal players...

likely to result in major trouble for such disloyal players, me thinks...

plus increased screening, and denial of applications in the first place.

that should give Admin Jason time to create a solution...

namely: leave the alliance, lose your bonus. :P

bit harsh

has to have been in the alliance 6 months, cannot leave within 6 months these criterai not met = no bonus or loss of bonus
