| well, guys, let's focus on those mining facility to boost the output? :) |
Boosting the output is pointless.
What could be great is some randomization of the shift. Even better, creating another factory would prevent the people buying all the output to succeed, since you can't be in two locations at the same time. |
| Steel is out. :( |
ores and woods on silent hill too
=(? |
Stop buying resources at market.
The people who are buying up the resources will stop doing so if they cannot sell it to anyone. They can sell it to to machining but there is so little profit in that, and machining will eventually run out of money too.
The market will regulate itself if prices are too high. |
| No problem anymore |
Thx! The gem and crystal are back in order.
but mercury is gone again, like in 1 hour? |
| There was 1-2k mercury.. but it seems it's gone :) |
yes, I saw it and bought like 20 or 30 mercury. then sold them to nickel production.
I saw the stock of mercury in Empire is also low (7061 only). Should we open another mercury mine? |
I buy 20-40 of them every hour and sell them on market :)
There is no problem in buying them, if the player really wants this
Nice Erlemar. making resource drought for all to earn those 10 gold on each. |
| Why, still its extra 200-400 g hour for him :) |
I can't blame people from trying to get a few gold from a missing resource, even if I don't like this. The problem comes more from a poor factory definition making mercury a weak spot in the supply chain.
Mercury is used primarily for many artifacts and also in Nickel and Magic Powder machining. Being so important, it's not surprising that everyone tried to have stock of mercury after the admin intervention, just to have some reserve in case of new shortage. As a result, the shortage appeared already, just a few hours after a new supply to the lab.
As I already wrote, opening another Lab in a different area would certainly hinder speculation. Another path would be to give a *really* huge boost in mercury stock, like 100,000, preventing any kind of shortage. |
| You'll note that there's also a shortage of Steel and Magic Powder - machining resources that can't even be traded. Clearly, some people are trying to create shortage and block production. |
1. Do you see, that I'm wizars? I need thousands for my minu-artifacts.
My mini-artifacts on magi and golems cost in sum more then 170k gold. So I try to use many ways of receiving money.
2. And I also need resourse.. For example, yesterday I had to buy 112 mercury for mini-artifacts |
| Then just buy what yo need. i see you sell a hole lot in market at overprice. |
You donate real money, so you have no problems with gold
But I don't donate, so I need gold and I do everything that is possible to receive more gold, his is normal for any player. The ones who want to have gold receive it from different sourses, one of them is trading |
- With one hand a fair upholder of forum-laws
- with other hand a anoying player who sits on mines taking all resources the secound they are produced.
I bet productions were not designed for some people with buy-out scripts to "own" them and set their own price at market.
nice. |

If you think someone is using scripts in the game, you should PM the Secretary. Provided you have proof of course. Otherwise it's just words, empty and meaningless. |

It is not about scripts or not. Its about someone making game anoying for ALL others just to earn a measly 10 gold a pop.
The thing he does is not trading it exploiding the design og game. If he were sutch a good trader, why not trade fair with elements or something where there is no shortage.
I ofcourse have no proof of scripts. and if he uses or not does not make any difference. he still buys all resources there is. |
he still buys all resources there is - He couldn't possibly.
For one thing, the working shifts of gem, crystal ore mine and lab end at the same time, so the most 1 person can buy is 20 (rarely 40) units of resourses per hour.
For another, there are plenty of people selling resourses. Right now there are around 15 people selling mercury (the only sellable resorse we're lacking)
As for Its about someone making game anoying for ALL others I wouldn't speak for the 1k+ that's online, not to mention all the people who are registered. But maybe you made a poll.
The thing he does is not trading true. It has a better name in my mothertongue, though I'm not sure if there's a proper word in English. However it's not exploiding the design og game It's just making profit in-game. Some do it by enrolling 15 times a day, others by donating. It's certanly not cheating, as you're trying to put it, by implying he doesn't trade fair |
