  Multiple Updates & Fixes  

I`m sure some of you have noticed some things already it`s not unexpected, and you`re not crazy.

Here`s a quick list with info:-

  • New accounts/Restarting Fix - You can only use artifacts on yourself for the first 3 days of your empire, no longer can you use them on other empires until AFTER your empire is 3+ days old.


  • Explore Delay change - Explore delay has been removed for everyone, the only exception being if you are currently doing a UW; Meaning if you are doing a UW you will have the explore delay still.


  • Dig Times - Probably the single biggest change done, the dig times as you all know were a single block late at night. Well let me start by saying that it isn`t a single block anymore, and I know a lot of you noticed this. Now for those of you that hit dig time before, the old block is still there as you will have noticed it`s just shorter.

    @Asmodean I would prefer ST to be a universal time for everyone so it can be used to coordinate certain things with fed mates, and everyone in general.

    How hard would it be to code the clock to detect what timezone youre in (based on what you selected when you created your account)?

    haha I dont care what time ST aligns with if I could have that little text right there telling me what dig time was going on :P

    If this sounds like a bad idea, let me know. But I feel the server time should be London Time. You know, the Prime Meridian and all.

    I mentioned that someone should make a clock for artifact dig times.

    What if BW could just put it under server time though?
    Like, when it was common time, itd look like this.

    Please fix Server time.. It`s advance by 2 mins.. Given the new mechanics for digging 2 minutes really matters.. I know we could just adjust but it`s really weird. Haha.
