Income nerfing has been undone. Apologies for the scare. :)

If some people could confirm? :oops:

Well thankfully I slept through that little scare!

Juliette, that will not fix this game. As you can see everyone will just leave.

You can't cut the available income so drastically without changing the costs of other things (UP, techs, cov lvls). You essentially make the top accounts invincible because we have paid 90% less things that are currently extremely expensive. Once the 90% kicks in, those extremely expensive things that top accounts already have become impossible to achieve if not already achieved.

Essentially you can't massively change the availability of naq without changing other prices.

Also (and I understand this was a mistake), but you can't go surprising us with crazy updates. We need a beta server (is there already one?) where we can test new ideas.

Unfortunately I can't give you a perfect fix to this problem, but I am trying to think of one, and hopefully others are too!

Slim; peculiar. I checked, there does not seem to be anything wrong. I wonder whether more people have it. Your account seems to be entirely in order. :)

Yeah.. the entire reason we did not want to put this in the way it was phrased, was that it would not work at all. We checked; besides, we have this neat graph of all costs and correlations. *grin* That helps.
When I have something to test, I will post a call for a few people to help out with testing. :) I know of a few who help out with thoughts already. ;)

:? That confuses me. I have an image as background, as should everyone (different per load, too). The swirly vortex thing that avoids copyright issues. :)

LOL, yup. I usually have that set to image. I have no idea why it changed. I also have no idea why I didn't have the wherewithal to check that first before posting about it. #-o ](*,) :-k

#-o Ah, that. I thought you implied you never had any image display. :) Na, this seems to be fine. ;)
