First off here is the chart. It's the value of points broken down up to 600 points.
The first half of each section is selfexplanatory... The “cost to upgrade” “extra point” and “cost of extra points” are as follows: Say you want to buy 20 points, so you get 2 points extra. This will show you how much more you have to pay (2 points), how many more points you will get by spending the extra cash (2 points extra totaling 24 points, you paid for 22 points instead of 20, hence only 2 gained still). The last one will how you if it's worth upgrading (assuming it's in your funds). In this example buying 22 points for 24 points is not worth it as it is 0.14 EUR more and should only be done if you dont want to over spend and need only 24 points. The ones highlighted in green for any colum is best deal I saw for the upgrade part it means it is likely cheaper to spend the extra points (unless you look in the 100's lol) (if this doesn't show the EUR let me know) First excel tab has USD second has EUR. So, I ran into a issue with the super auctions, turns out I screwed up. However that doesn't mean Admins are out of the clear, far from it. Rule 6 states this: You can bid using a deposit promissory note on one lot only, and the bid has to be equal to the entire cost of the mortgaged enterprise. If you bid using a deposit promissory note and another player places a higher bid, you can use the deposit promissory note to bid on any other lot. First off the mine I put up as “collateral” is not worth 96(48*2) points based on “resources” It's only worth (it was a 104 million unit) 66 points on the market w/o sale. Now this isnt what I paid for it(maybe 30), however something interesting in this little setup which if done in the USA/Canada would be borderline a scam. They gave a item a higher value than what it should have been in attempt to make more money. This wouldn't be a issue if rule 6 was not in place or was laid out differently and/or the ability to split said enterprises value among several super auctions or incremental in the same auction, much like how ebay has auto bid. In fact if ebay's auto bid function worked like rule 6 your max bid would become your bid regardless of any other bidder that has already bidden or may come in the future. Another thing they have done under rule 6 is valued the property under asset value not point value where the assets value is 1 point per billion. This means the same property bought (created via new enterprise) at 96 points is actually worth 180 points. Under this logic I should be able to offer the 48 billion in-game cash as payment correct? However general terms #14 states one can not do harm to admins or players during said auctions. But here is a issue with it next to “what harm” they speak of, if they dont want in-game cash associated with point only auctions why associate in-game cash with point properties in said point only auctions? Logic doesn't make sense, not to mention my nearly Q6 copper pyrite could prob sell easily at 20K a pop would make that mines value over 2 Trillion. 
All that aside there is a more hilarious meaning to rule 6 as a programmer. Rule 6 is like when a governing body knows a issue exists but cant be bothered to fix it, so instead they put a rule/law in place to force those around them to self govern. Thats what rule 6 is, they couldn't be bothered to put in a “adequate” lean system on point enterprises. Basically they couldn't care enough about “us” to put in anything to prevent you or I as a player from putting a 500 or even 1000 point property as collateral for a item only worth a fraction of that. This is just sloppy in the programming industry (not like it doesn't happen, *cough*Microsoft), not to mention lazy to rely on words instead of a few extra lines of code. Now I will pay for it as per agreed upon via rules etc blah blah blah, but I refuse to make another purchase afterwards because of it. To put things into perspective I have played here for 5.5+ years, started paying back in June 2015. So in 1.5 years I have spent about $650 Canadian not including the current tab which will push it over 700, thats about $36 a month to this game since 2015, or nearly $10 a month since I began playing. Thats money they will never see after this last purchase due to poor coding protected by words. As a gift to them for providing a “decent service” and it's their anniversary I will be buying 150 points (115+bonus, cheapest option in terms of value, w/o breaking the bank for me). Beyond that there will be no more purchases from me unless they fix the auctions and reimburse me my losses in points, but based on how they dodge “financial issues” they have caused in the past that would lead to giving points back thats unlikely to happen. |

It was you who put the precious copper mine as collateral and then forgot to pay for the "worthless" thing you bought. I guess you deserve the loss. 
P.S: Pardon me, just curious. In which dialect "a" is used before a word that starts with vowel: "a item", "a adequate system", etc? Or is this some kind of kool stuff? |
