Goa'uld double income = no more!!!

There has been a "somewhat" commonly known bug on Goa'uld accounts that allows them to get essentially a double income.

There was a discussion about this by Urogard in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=101&t=125596
And there have been previous discussions such as: viewtopic.php?f=159&t=117359&hilit=double+income+bug


This bug has been around for a long time, and when I say that i mean it was "discovered" years ago (the bug has likely been around since accounts can be ascended and changed back to unascended race).

This bug has been exploited for such a long time by people like Hellboy.

This bug basically happens when a Goa'uld that has ascended to System Lord, for example to LG+1, then reverts back to unascended Goa'uld.

As Urogard said in the thread linked above:

urogard wrote:What you failed to realize that in this case instead of 80*1.25 your income is actually 80*1.25*2

And if it's normal why don't you receive the 2 multiplier the moment you register



urogard wrote:250 mil miners on AG account no commander ads turned on = 29.8 bil turn income
250 mil miners on snakehead account no commander ads turned on = 55.5 bil turn income



As you can see above this is what apparently happens when you go through the process of Goa'uld >>> System Lord >>> Goa'uld.

I personally spoke to Jason about this on Wednesday and he said he'd have a look at it.

It has finally been fixed so that Ascended accounts reverting back to Goa'uld go back to having basic income plus 25% income bonus.

Now that this bug has finally been fixed after all this time it means people like Hellboy can no longer exploit it. And I can finally say I got Hellboy where it hurts.


Hellboy go swivel!!!

Clarkey btw i managed to prove that the the math by urogard was wrong.

So actually had you done it you would have gotten: (80 * 1,25) + (80 * 1,44) meaning you would make far more than double so i am happy you got it removed but i rather saw you gave us others a bug instead for lets say for asgard. Better holograms and defenses :P.
