Am I reading that right? Does that mean that when you are at a banksize of 1 tril, it would cost 950mil or 950bil (as 950bil is 95% of current banksize)?
If I have read that wrong I apologise, been a damn long day...

Congratulations, you found where the missing 3 zeros that I put in the 950,000. I think I've been looking at far too many numbers lately .
For 1trill it would be 950bill. Thanks for catching that error...

Re: Bank
Lol..this idea makes bank concept a bit useless in my opinion. Because if cost of upgrade ~ new bank size...where will the money to upgrade it come from, and how will we be able to keep it to ugrade bank?
If we need 950bil for a trillion bank...where will we stock money for that? Do PPT? Buy naq for $$? It will slow the game to a great level I think. Having most of spendings in "useless" spendings (unlike covert levels, UP...).

You've got it backwards.
At the 1trill bank size, you'll need to spend 950bill to upgrade beyond that.

I think I may have explained this poorly.
If your bank is cap is 100,000 you need to spend 95,000 to get the next level which is 200,000. At 200,000 you need to spend 190,000 to get 300,000.
At 1,000,000 to get the next upgrade you need to spend 950,000. At this point the bank sizes start to grow exponentially. But the next upgrade is always locked in at a cost that is equal to 95% of your current bank capacity. So even when your at 1trill, the next level is going to cost 950mil.
Hope that clears things up, sorry about any confusion I might have caused.
The cost to upgrade your bank is never higher then your banks capasity.
I think its an idea. With UU being killable/raidable I think its a great idea, otherwise you will never be able to store enough naq to buy upgrades.
This way no matter how far back you get set, you don't lose your bank capasity.

Re: Bank
The cost to upgrade your bank is 95% of the current bank size. So fill your bank to 95% of max then you can buy a new upgrade, it's not rocket science.

Re: Bank
Some people have sent me email saying that the bank is broken because they cannot upgrade.
Please keep in mind that naq in the bank can only be removed by the withdrawl button. To upgrade the bank the naq has to be out in the open.

Re: Bank
Well If U can Raid 1 trill for Sure U won't buy the bank space. ) Cause it will take ages to make another 1 trill.
But always can Buy $$ this way it's cheaper in game, a hard cost in RL.
Same.
Also, U can always wait, untill we rich 1mil army size. ))) In 3-4 years maybe. At this rate. Never say Never.
So relax, Make huge amounts of popcorn, take a soda. And enjoy Origin.
Too fast for U? For me it's too slow.

Re: Bank
well i do think it was meant to be a bit on the "slower" side, tho seems to be fast and furious right now, the game is volitile and far more active them most. Heck there is general 50 to 75 players online all the time, thats amazing to me.
