any1 notice them in the markets???
- Use ALL market turns (3 quantities) in exchange for 1,840 non-transferrable turns...
- Use ONE market turn in exchange for an increase of 10 percent of your natural 'bank' size. For you, as of last turn, this is: 3,789,397,656.
i like the first 1 very much

Can the turns aquired off the market be used to buy PPT?

Limiting the flow of ATs to bring tactics back into the game or we can add anohter option to get them -_-'
Seems people will be able to get into Pergatory, use MTs for instant turns and go massing/farming right away without delay. Kinda defeats the purpose. I mean lets face it, Pergatory has never been used for its intended purpose.
Considering that on the main realm, Turns are far more available via black Market/forum black market/direct sending/free trades or buying through the market directly using MTs, I can only see this update with Pergatory in mind. Which is essentially flooding Pergatory with Attack Turns so that runners there can be hit right away and that ambushes on people just comming in with 0 turns is no longer effective.
Essentially admitting Pergatory isn't for the weak and is being abused with hit and runs with this update a bandaid solution to it so that people can follow right back in and get to massing right away.
If this is the case,
Make Pergatory a MT option. Phase Shift - 3MT - Change your current realm (Main - Pergatory/Pergatory - Main). That way you don't have people PPTing and Pergatory-ing or comming out of Pergatory and PPTing twice before jumping back in. Fixes that problem right up and stops abuse. Essentially it makes the galaxy bigger and Pergatory should just be called a Different Quadrent (1 & 2 maybe even extend to 4) as the universe is a large place.
If this is NOT the case,
Limits need to be adjusted. Pergatory is meant to be a safe house for beginners. Those who learn the game, get used to it in conditions of people equal to their size (generally) and avoids larger players bullying smaller players and stunting their game before it takes off. Players 10mil in size should already be used to all the functions and so I don't see why the limit should be any larger then that.

Never been as I'm not a fan, but if thats the case then i'm struggling to find the purpose of this update.
Non-Transferable turns need to be the majority of Turn Aquisition with only Naturally generated turns tradeable if he wants to stem the flow. If not, people will simply just buy turns/trade as usual instead of choosing to use direct MT -> NTT as trading gets you more *and* with the ability to trade them. Its not like Naq is a problem.

Id say the MT bank increase is for those in perg who cant PPT. And the small players who cant yet afford to buy a PPT. but id say more for perg.

"non-transferrable turns"
