Totally negative experience with Treasure maps today
TaKunCat
My interaction with treasure maps totally sucked totay.
It started out that I think I probably got rewarded a normal 5 gold but I totally cannot tell. Normal people could remember how much gold they had. I do not. If I got 40 gold it wouldn't mean anything to me because I can have a turn over of 500 gold a day. I think my alert was totally screwed up. This was not a pleasant experience being told that I had a map when I did not.
Later on in the day today I did get a map. so I went to treasure hunt, Yay 30 str and a map, Yay!
I go there to get my treasure and see a map and am told I can only click one 1 X but I can't click on any of them. I can't click I can't click, I refresh I can't click I can't click on any of them I restart my browser and I cannot click nothing happens no matter what I click on.
I go back to Buck Rodgers article and see he has some links to results. so I put one of those in. and it works. I used result 1 and made it work artificially. the wheels start spinning and I couldn't tell if they were going to stop spinning but the funny thing about it is that only the last wheel is spinning. the hundredths place. so I think it is like super mario where I have to stop the wheel(s) and I click on the check your gold button.
It totally paused on 00.06 Gold and took me back to my profile page which is totally meaningless to me. I think I actually did get 00.06 Gold but I cannot tell. There is no alert or way to know what result I got there is no record no friggen nothing. My profile page only shows whole number increments of gold. They might as well loose the button
As far as I am concerned really unpleasant gaming experience. Mega frustration, Mega downer. I am not actually crying but it is kinda depressing. I never liked gambling to begin with. I was totally thinking. this was the admin using the fact that they think the game needs more gold to give us more gold and introduce a feature with mostly pleasant surprises. It does however appear possible that we are just going to receive gold in different gluts with long dry spells and such. I was looking at earlier results and thinking that results approaching nothing were not possible. I never played the gambling game in Legend of Zelda. I don't play poker I don't care for the idea that I can lose. There is nothing to learn from this loss. There is no skill. There is no strategy and there appear to be two bugs, one feature that needs eliminated, and one that needs added. As far as economics are concerned it appears to me to be way to early to draw any conclusions.
someone left the vacuum on and sucked the gaming fun out.

that sux... maybe a ticket?
oh
I don't know where or how to find the ticket thing.
Furthermore I am feeling paranoid. I thought this would become a loved feature of erep but it seems to me like a good way to give people what the admins choose to let you have without people knowing they are being jipped or blessed. I see no where that says what your odds are or what the total payoff is or that it is random. It could be a method to transfer funds from one player to another without their noticing. It could be a tool for them to play around with how much gold so that they can conduct single blind research. It could be they were feeling guilty for charging some 5 gold for lana. It could be that they feel like giving Iran gold because they are not allowed to buy it. There is no rhyme or reason to it and it seems it is too much to expect anything. 00.06 Gold is a dirt map not a treasure map. Perhaps they suspect me for hacking Will Shafer's account in revenge or don't like me sucking up all the gold on the Monetary market or the fact that I don't pay for gold. I seriously don't like gambling! No one gets guns drawn on them or gets accused when they are playing a game of go fish! This is all too mysterious.
Ahah, 0.06 gold, that's awesomely bad.
*wanders off with his 5.15 gold*
Yeah, if it is true it has to be the lowest amount yet. I am still in disbelief.
Level 22 treasure map success! Alert success! payoff 4.95 gold
