Update 5-3-19
Minor VM Update
In the interest of clearing up some confusion, I have unified the timer for entering and exiting VM to 12 hours. This means that if you enter VM before 24h after your last attack, the VM will not begin until 12 hours have passed from you activating Vacation Mode.
When you exit VM early, you will similarly have 12 hours of no turns and will be removed from the VM damage protection, leaving you open to attacks.
No changes have been made to the usual 24 hours of turns at the end of a 7 day or longer VM.
oh also anyone can plunder x class planets now ~ Enjoy
Update 1-11-19
Well I guess it`s time to post this update - In the interest of keeping speculation down and everyone in the loop - Here`s what`s going on currently behind-the-scenes:
Most of you have already noticed that the payment system for Gamestotal has been down for the better part of a year now. This has been a concern to me in regards to the servers remaining up. I`ve been trying to mitigate this possibility with a backup, so far so good.
Part of the issue with the game (and updating/changing the game, doing anything really) is GC`s architecture is ancient. It`s running on tech from 2000, and bringing this a little more up to date has been a major focus over the last while. If you`ve read the Patreon, you know I am also working on redoing the entire code-base for the game. It`s insanely disorganized and lacking in conventions across its files - This is why simple updates can take more time than you would like, and there`s plenty of potential for bugs to pop up.
I am aware of the bugs with VM and leaving VM, as well as server refresh and and goods not withdrawing from the market over the old maximum`s. Hopefully should have those corrected soon.
With regards to concerns about QA with updates, It`s hard to test anything when your total player base is what you would normally like as just a testing base. Sometimes it`s easier to push an update, and if needed change things down the line based on more in-depth assessments. Sometimes issues don`t pop up right away until all of you are playing and using new features regularly.

GLOBAL PAIDS
Paids for all!
Global Paids for all servers is now active, and will remain active as long as we`re at our goal. Thanks everyone!
Global Paids -
As we have reached the milestone, Global Paids have been activated. All empires in the game will receive a Paid status as long as the milestone remainds reached.
Empires who wish to not participate and have their status removed back to Free, please contact the admins.
For those who previously had Paid status, be advised that these days will carry over even while the Global Paids are in effect.
This means that if next month the milestone is not reached, your paid status will remain in effect while utilizing the time you got for your donation.
For this reason be advised that existing Paids will not be refunded for the reason of utilizing the Global Paids. This is in conjunction with the fact that donations are not subject to refund.
Thank you,
Staff
