People always complain these games run over the author's estimated deadlines, then they contrast it with some slop game that's had a hundred updates and a new one every week and are like "why can't you be this prolific with YOUR masterpiece?". I get it if people are paying and were sold on...
So it looks like what it comes down to is that Activity coins are worth half as much as they were before and you can only get lifetime Member+ instead of the cheaper options that were available before. I thought I was done with the vault grind, but after converting all my coins over, I now need...
You can claim 1% interest a day and collect 5 coins just for clicking the button every 24 hours. You have to do that for a 100 days before it pays for itself, though.
Edit: well, this aged poorly :D
Does anyone remember Magic Carpet? That was ahead of it's time and would go crazy as a modern release. You tore around the place on a magic carpet, collecting spells and tagging mana for your hot air balloons to collect, to build a bigger castle to get more hot air balloons, fighting monsters...
Yeah, the circumstances around ATF with some ex mod threatening to dox the userbase(?) were a bit disquieting, so even though the shutdown has been cancelled, it seems like it's been quiet there since.
Looks like it takes a while, but at 500 you can just passively collect from the daily vault and buy weekly member + like three times a year? That's my plan, anyway.
Welcome :)
