Ok so after a little investigation (and using a secret agent or two ) I've discovered the main issue and at least corrected it someway so that people trying to abuse the system again in the same way won't get the benefit. Needless to say, I can see how each and every person gets credits, so as I spot anomalies in the list I will review the members transaction history and delete things as necessary.
At 4% interest a day, 1.00 credits today will turn into 1450316.47 credits this time next year, assuming rounding down to two digits. Compound interest works wonders.
Love your signature note Snape. Makes sense now. So we can use the forum credits to buy things, apart from that one time Chris (I think it was) was selling pets via the forums. What else could we get with them Snape? Special forum functions or will it only be used as a currency of trade on the forums?
Yes, I'll look at lessening the effect of that too In the early stages, it will be upgrades and shiny stuff for your forum accounts. However, Dylan has other things planned: What those future things are, even I don't know at this stage..... and tbh, I like it like that coz then I get to be all excited and surprised when things happen too!
Anything new with the Forum Credits. I'm back from a couple months vacation from Ark and reactivated a lot of things and this is still new to me, but the last post dates back to October... and we are getting close to Christmas... and presents
