    Players exploited this last year, so we were forced to remove it. But, we've added several new ways to earn them to make up for the "digging" removal. Pie-eating contest, "Winter Invasion".

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=


    That also removed a way to earn ephoo tags, how is that compensated?

    Perhaps it is time to switch to a 'Subscription Only' game so that we can eliminate this buggy revenue-code?

    ...because it worked so well the first time around? :rolleyes:

    That should give us plenty of time to ridicule the French. ;)


    Now we begin our search for spock, or was it the French sense of humour.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    10.30 is usually the coffee break so perhaps they want to gulp some down before things get hectic.

    I don't really care that much that the digging has been removed, but I'd hardly call it an exploit. It was a chore to grind holiday items that way, especially since the drop rate for uncommon items was so low.

    Not usually one to be waiting for the on button to be pressed, but here I am. Everytime the server is due to open they move it back half an hour... I think some government agency is doing a secret experiment on Trekkie patience.

    Did Mr. Flakes mention anything about the foundry editor? I'm sorry if this has been addressed, but I am really wanting to make some missions.

    Look in the patch notes, that's what they post them for:

    They should have just said 4 hours. When I saw half an hour ago they would need more time, I could been to the Post office and back with my eBay sales by now.

    They don't include everything in the patch notes. I know because I brought this up with them on a few occasions. And yes, I have already read them.
    No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.

    It WAS part of the fun.

    I'm rather sad now and might have to reduce my time in game as a result.

    As a reward or as motivation? For the latter, I would think that "Feelings" or "(Let's Get) Physical" would work better as motivation. ;)
