WARNING: "Double Consumption Weekend"
•
by Dillan Stone
Not a troll attempt. You can verify this information by checking the "Latest Updates" link at the bottom of the page. Here's what Plato has to say:
Day 2,579
Boost the Economy Days
As suggested by many of you, overproduction is an issue in the New World. We’ll try to tackle this problem and to get rid of some stacked inventory by introducing Boost the Economy Days!
Between today and the end of Day 2,582, all food and weapon consumption will be doubled.
For example, 10 Q1 food will give you 10 Energy instead of the normal 20. Also, a defeated enemy with 3 hits will decrease the durability of your weapon with 6, instead of the normal value of 3.
Please notice that:
- Bombs, Rockets and Bazookas ARE NOT affected by this change
- Energy Bars ARE NOT affected by this change
I'm publishing this to warn you, because when I logged in and blindly mashed the fight button, I wasn't aware that I'd be burning through my weapons and food at double-speed. I'm not sure whether I'll be fighting any more or not this weekend, but you all deserve to know. Even if Plato (who NEVER forgets to put that "Buy Gold" popup in our face or the fake "someone won a fake spin jackpot" popup up) tried to hide this in the Latest Update section that people do not regularly read.
Plato, shame on you for the idea, but double-shame for not warning people about it before they played.

All about da gold.
funny how we get pop ups for sales but they hide stuff like this in the updates blog where only really attentive players will notice.
I did the same thing you did, logged in, saw the co for Canada vs Macedonia and went nuts. didn't realize it was costing me double.
lots of other games to play this weekend!
"lots of other games to play this weekend!"
can you suggest a good one? It'd be good to find a similar casual MMO that you can log into for some daily clicking.
nah not casual. i'm playing xbox games and steam games.
But at work a lot of guys play clash of clans. i have no idea if its good haha.
It's a completely, utterly different style of game altogether, but I'm still a big fan of Kingdom of Loathing. Both for the humor, the multiple ways to play (PvP or friendly), and the fact that the staff of the game earns the respect of their playerbase. Importantly, they own up to their own mistakes, then do their best to make it right. And the pay to win aspects are minimal - even a totally free account can do well. Which is why I've been happy to 'donate' over the years several times there, and I never will even consider doing so here.
I will check out both at some point. Thanks.
Oh fu---
Fffff... I guess I was ripping through sh*t faster than I realized

Does that mean I'll also be collecting double the Club Zed points?
(almost got enough for a waffle iron!)
But seriously, damage should be doubled if food/weapon is doubled, too. If so, not such a bad deal. Personally, if I were Plato, I'd invent a Natural Disasters module where some fake catastrophe regularly destroys inventory in random nations:
"Oh noes, weevils have eaten all your food and a flood has rusted out all your guns. But if you buy our 'Insurance Pack,' your original inventory will be restored with 2 energy bars as a bonus."
This would either help with over-production or increase Plato's profit margins. Pretty much a win-win solution.
That is hilarious.
"I'm sorry our servers have lost count of your inventory. To be fair to everyone you will now start at zero."
Unbelievable.
There's too much production so we're going to punish you.
I'm not fighting until this is over. Simply unbelievable to treat your customers like this.
As suggested by many of your spouses, over gold purchasing is an issue in the New World. We’ll try to tackle this problem and help get rid of your time wasting by introducing No New Gold in the Economy Days!
Take this as an opportunity to get rid of your useless bazookas and win some FF medals!
