The Forum Shop has been balanced

[Legend]

Everyone's been reset to zero and a couple changes have been made. The shop descriptions do not reflect these new changes, so I'll explain them here.

When posting, you get 0.05 credits per word and .005 credits per character. So "wow great link dude" is four words and 19 characters. That'd be 0.295, which gets rounded down to zero. That example post is too short and stupid to get bonus points. However if you post a huge big post, you can get up to 5 bonus points. Then on top of this you get an additional 1 point for a post and 10 points for a new thread.

Interest has also been fully rebalanced. A new interest modifier has been introduced. At the end of every day it's reset to zero. That means if you make zero posts that day, you'll get zero interest that day. Each post during the day increases your interest modifier. One post makes it 10%. Two posts make it 19%. Three make it 27.1%. Four make it 34.39%. Five make it 40.951%. Etc. This value always increases with every post, but it will never pass 100%. For example 50 posts will result in an interest modifier of 99.42735831%. 200 posts is 99.99999992%. The interest modifier is multiplied by the bank interest of 2% to give your actual interest for the day.

TLDR or if you don't like math: the more you post, the more you make.

"Balanced."
Hehe *evil laugh.*
Percentages are a bit aggressive though I think.

What do you mean?

You've made 35 posts today, so that'd be 97.2% of 2% or 1.944% interest. Basically if you make more than 20 posts a day, you get full interest.

I like the changes a lot. Should get some people to post more. BUT we should get an extra incentive to actually earn credits imo. More stuff to buy and stuff

[7H3]

Spamtastic!
Though I do wish now I bought more steal credits since I won't be able to spam as much as other users :cough:pezus:cough:
very sad all the money I gave away is gone now too lol
If I edit a post does it give me extra credits based on how many words / chars added or does it stay the same count as the original post...?
guess we will find out soon enough won't we
