TGIF! Here’s your development news round-up for the past week! Player Bans May 11 - May 17 As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes. FB: 8 The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate players reporting suspicious accounts to us. If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved. New Limited Items! A new week means new Limited Items! Here’s what’s up for grabs tomorrow: May 2015 GearJam! Last Weekend for Submissions! Have a sweet item idea that you’d like to see in-game? Well good news because the GearJam contest is back! Visit this thread here to leave your idea, and make sure to read the new rules carefully! Increasing XP Payouts on Raid Bosses Hey folks, For the next Raid Boss in June, the developers will be increasing the XP payed out per action on the Raid Bosses to make it more in line with what players in Viking Clan and Pirate Clan experience (people who dabble in those games know it feels quicker to level up over there). While the Raid Boss currently offers some of the best XP in the game, we've definitely heard you when you say that the effort put in and the rewards payed out do not feel very rewarding. So we will be running a test on the XP next Raid Boss. What I need you to do is let me know how the XP gain feels compared to the previous runs. Does it feel appropriate for what you're doing, are you gaining levels at a decent pace, things like that. We are definitely open to adjusting is as need be based on feedback. So June 4 when the Raid Boss returns, try it out and let us know what you think. Support Report with your favorite burrowing nocturnal mammal and Answerpreneur, Aardvark! Happy Weekend! Just a few quick notes this week! We've been experiencing some unusual, but persistent issues with the way season GP is being attributed towards Factions (Armadas, Syndicates, Guilds). We've been working to get this figured out for a few weeks now, but it's been tricky to test our fixes for it. Fortunately, this issue isn't super widespread, but if you notice irregularities with your team GP, such as points being earned when they shouldn't be, please take a screenshot of what you're seeing and let us know! In other news, if you think someone may have broken the ToU, please simply report what you have seen to Support. DON'T try to contact players and call them out! Accusations can make Support investigations a lot harder - it makes players defensive, alerts them to our investigation, and encourages rumor and misinformation in the community that take a lot of time to sort through. Cheers, Aardvark who is looking forward to seeing some classic video game music performed by symphonic orchestra this weekend. Terrible Joke of the Week Here's your lame joke of the week! What's round and bad tempered? Spoiler A vicious circle! That's it for TGIF this week, everybody! Thanks for reading and have a great weekend! Play Now!
