[Admin News] small update 1536
Financial business
Dear readers
Today we had another small update. Small, but with big consequences.
The big, rich multi-company owners who where just getting comfortable making huge profits by having 300 employees and letting them all work in the same company, might want to drop what they are doing and take a moment to sit. The other, smaller company owners can rejoice.
Admins implanted a max cap on the companies. Since it was their goal all along to a cap to the max number of workers and prevent the hire-fire techniques, this is a good change. It will no-doubtably stabilize and remove some pressure of the job market again.
I'll use an example to explain:
Someone has a Q6 weapons company. In the past, he could work as many employees as he could in that company. In fact: all his employees could work in there. This lead to situations where you had people who had only 1 Q6 company, could order 100 ppl to work there. Producing 2000 tanks/day.
This is capped now. The maximum amount of workers that can work in your Q5 or Q6 company is 10 per day now. So in a 100% country, the maximum number of tanks someone can produce with 1 company is 220 (20*10 worker + 20 tanks from WAM)
Hopefully this will do something about the overproduction.
Another small update: You are now able to dissolve the 3 free grain companies you received from the admin. This was something the community had been asking for for a long time and it's good to see the team finally following up on that. (PS: by dissolving the companies you earn 2250 CC, or in some countries, the equivalent of nearly 2.5G)
NOTE: you have to be minimum lvl 25 before you can dissolve them.
Easter egg: ssstttttt, this is super sicrit and no one can know about this because it's not "official", but after lots of begging and giving a whole strip-tease act in front of my webcam while wearing a pink tutu (yes dear readers, I go trough all that to please you and bring you the latest updated news) my ears *might* have picked up that with the next update, the ability to link your "hire employee link" again to people, *might* be implanted. but again, stttttttt, noone can know about this yet.
Until the next update,

U jelly, Publius? : D
Did you think he might be one indeed ? ( :
ok
@Publius
He is, isn't he?
I'm not jelly, I just miss decent journalism : (
Being an admin shill is cool and all, but at least strive to be as good as the old Insiders were.
Yup, I think I smell jealousy
Zupppps!

The lil boy who thinks he's a major journalist like pubs. :x ;p
Little thing to know.
The bot is disappearing little by little on all markets (which is good). This new update means that their will be a lot less raw weapon bought as the Q5/6 production will decrease a lot.
It means that if everybody continue to WAM in its raw factory, we will probably see once again a raw at 0.01-0.02 local currency which is quite bad for young players or small owners.
It means less money in their pocket, less consumption then too.
In any case, big managers will be once again the big winners.
Nothing new then.
Wow super news, thk for the 3 companys disolving news = > 750 usd x3 = 2,5 sweet gold
Stoped using that companys like 2 weeks a go ))
Thanks for the update! And please, shadowukcs, ask admins what is there intention regarding Buy Bot. Why the prices are constantly going down? What is the formula bihind calculation of the "recommended" price and its daily fluctuations.
bye bye
Daemoner: I doubt they'll give an answer. The official position that they confirm nor deny the existence of "the bot". It has been that way ever since "it" was introduced. Many have asked, none have gotten an answer. I think they do it to prevent "economical abuse" if too much info about it is given to the public. Your best chances are on country forums. I know the eUSA community for example has a few good economically minded players who did some research/experiments with the bot.
I don't see how selling 30k Q6 food per day to Platobot can be considered an abuse.
Too bad that RM is cheap. (Laughs all the way to the bank.) At least q5 & q6 prices will go up and people will be able to sell again. Lately Admins selling storage has been the only activity.
Also, I may need to put a seat belt on my chair! The 3 grains are gone!!! HALLELUJAH!
As a note, you may want to mention in the article that you have to be level 25 to dissolve those three grain farms. Just tried it and got the message.

@Tristan: didn't know that. I'll add it right away
STRATEGY lesson by admins xD

Everyone can take a moment and sit down.
Good job ruining the economy and joy of new players.
Kissahai: if you're going to bitch and whine, do it somewhere else. It's exactly this sort of moaning that caused the admins to shut down EI and the old ingame forums. Leave the comment box here for ppl with real questions/suggestions.
I for one do really like these new changes. The previous system was far more imbalanced and they rectified that just 2 days after the last update. which tells me they are listening to the community and the major remarks.
Thanks Shadow for the updates always good to read it keep it up.
justice!!! thx
" the ability to link your "hire employee link" again to people, *might* be implanted. but again, stttttttt, noone can know about this yet."
Hope you are right about this one

Tnx for the info, expecialy for q1 raw companies.
Tnx once again.
Groovy
Sooner or later the bot will be reactivated. It's the only chance they have... Otherwise the economy will colpase and most young players will quit playing the game. So don't panic! It the end of the world is coming, you can be 100 % SURE it will be for EVERYONE! Players, Plato and etc.

This is an american paper... stop spying on us non-americans, this info is not for you, just us.
Swagg Surfer. I'm actually an eBelgian who's in eUSA to supply the eBE military. :p xD
Thank you.
Hah, always thought you were kind of a troll and anti-joke chicken (no offense though), but I think you're quite funny & interesting in your articles Voted & Subscribed.
I love how Publius thinks he's something.
I love how shadow thinks he is like a major journalist for these articles. x2
At last ER Team did two great changes. New interface for work and now limit per companies. Excellent changes !
I reported the bot as a bug and had it confirmed as an official programme.

too bad that I noticed that 10 cap AFTER I already hired 32 people (my max that was ok the day before)
When Plato will LEARN to INFORM people IN ADVANCE??
also, hire-fire option was THE ONLY reason I spent 200 gold on q6... Thanks to you Plato for your "improvements".
