What do you mean it amortizes in 600 days?

means it pays for itself in 600days..at lvl1
300days @lvl2 i guess etc
150 lvl3
75 lvl4

at least that's what i think anyway lol

1stly:

1 lvl 600

2 lvl 300

3 lvl 200

4 lvl 150

5 lvl 100

But I think the question was how did they count this 600 days bayback.

regarding the ec matches will that mean that any replays will need to be completed by 18 july or will lose the chance to gain the exp ?

Amortize has been removed from the copper mine description. The word was being lost in translation and misunderstood. Copper mines are unlimited supply of copper

[Lymond]

It's still present on the live server description but hopefully it will disappear soon. It's a very misleading way of describing how the copper mine works. You are not buying it with a loan or mortgage or calculating the depreciation in value of an asset. Even if they dropped "amortize" and said the investment pays for itself in 600 days it would be very questionable. You can't buy gems with copper so you can never recoup the original investment. You'd have to be basing it on the cost of buying copper refills for gems and making assumptions about the distance from the mine to the storehouse.

Presumably what they are trying to say is that once you have mined 286,000 copper you'll have paid less per gem than if you had bought 572 refills in the gem shop.

No plans to update the mail INBOX with adjustable columns to resolve multiple players' issues with "400 marble for 4....." ??? This would be a huge improvement!

After 12th the buyed footbool adventures diddetn get lost from the star menu?

The first step will stop players receiving any new adventure that has to do with the EC event. From step 1 to step 2, players will be able to finish their started EC adventures and sell or trade in the shop any leftover footballs. After step 2, remaining footballs will stay in player's inventory but they will not be able to earn/buy more or exchange them for shop items. Any EC adventure you start after step 2 will not earn you footballs (only experience points).

can we exchange footballs for xp?
yes? how many xp do we get for one football?

Previous events converted excess rewards into gold. I very much doubt they'll convert the balls to experience.

Will there be any chance that production times will decrease when PVP is released? as i don't see to many people sticking around if they spend days building up only to have 2 or more people demolish them in the space of a few seconds.....
