Starting from the new year 2010 the Virtonomics Administration will be publishing a weekly brief report on Virtonomics novelties. Here’s our first try!
1. This week we are continuing the planned work on the reform of qualifications system. Particularly, the stores interfaces will be renewed and the problem of rounding will be solved (interim efficiencies and the total efficiency are rounded differently). In addition, just today we have fixed the bug which was rather painful for new players. It was about the slow growth of Management and Trade for companies under tax holidays, and also disproportionately low experience growth when completing quest tasks.
The requirements for the quality of machines for factories producing equipment are also lowered (machines, equipment, tractors, mining equipment and powersaw benches).
2. The scheduled work on tenders and contests is also continuing. We will publish the rules for Contest for Directors (the contest for players who are on their first three months of playing), and the winners of Contest for Managers (first month contest) will start to get badges. We are sure that in the sequel there are going to be more prize winners. Especially taking into account that the tax holidays bug, which was the reason why many of you could not get the necessary amount of points in Management to complete the qualification, has been fixed.
3. We’ll keep on working on the rules and interfaces of daily and monthly VIRTs drawing among game points buyers. As we promised earlier, the drawing for prime awards will become more transparent. Each buyer will be able to see his/her payment place in the common list and the total of his/her winnings.
4. We’ve launched the new way of payment – the system. In addition, a new and rather unexpected way of purchasing game points is to be introduced soon.
5. It is true that you can make money in the game. Virtonomics is greeting the first players to do this! topor, Conrad, Shoot_nik and Colo_Boke earned $740 in total – congratulations!
6. We remind you that on Jan. 18 holiday snowman is starting to melt and it will lose 5 points in all qualifications.
7. We also remind you that on Jan. 18 the joining of clones campaign is ending.
Glad to see the admin and devs are still active in improving the game. Everything looks great, except the snowman melting.
1 question I have regarding this...

The requirements for the quality of machines for factories producing equipment are also lowered (machines, equipment, tractors, mining equipment and powersaw benches).
Is there a change planned for equipment requirement in labs?
Researching tech level 2 has an equipment requirement of 2.3, but being the first possible level to research it is equivalent to level 1 tech in factories.
It doesn't have much effect once the game has been running for awhile, cheap higher quality equipment is easy to find on Mary, but when the realm is new it is a different story.

these changes are for all kinds of equipment including instrument making factories. apart from other purposes it was done to force the development of the Lien realm
