    Before we get carried away in new features, I think GREE ought to spend some time and fix the existing features. The track record of introducing new features lately has been, at best, mixed. The...

    Listen to drifting death.

    I had a similar idea, but more event based... I call it the wormhole. Players are given (or can buy) a wormhole key that can open up a passage to another world. They...

    Good point. Probably also explains why they didn't revert the servers. It would have taken effort for which GREE doesn't have manpower.

    I hate to break it to you, but the cadillac you overpaid for was a lemon.

    The fundamental problem here is GREE releasing half baked software that has these sorts of glitches, not players taking advantage of the glitches or players complaining about it.

    That was the problem with player wars. There was no way to prevent someone from cheating by attacking their alts, or trading UV or by violating the spirit of the competition.

    Lary, the old boosted time was wrong. Here is the math:
    No boosts
    1 art = 8 min; 1000 arts = 8000 min = 133 hrs, 20 min

    As someone mentioned, boosts are compounding. So, while having a 1%...
