I don't see any transactions for your country or account email around the time of this post, assuming you just tried when posting.

Is the checkout process completing and saying the purchase was successful? It sounds like it's not completing from what I can tell from this thread + the data.

It'd be odd, but maybe it's a browser problem? Either way, as far as I can tell you have NOT been charged any money, which is good.

This should be fixed now -- I made sure anyone who missed credits had them correctly added to their account.

Some other accounts were credited too many credits, so I adjusted that too so it should all be accurate.

Sorry for the hiccup! Let me know if something doesn't look correct with your recent transaction on Discord.

Re: recruiting, I hope we'll get there :)

Hi!

I noticed there's a problem with the payment integration where it was no longer adding credits for the last few orders.

I will manually add the credits to the impacted players and am working on a fix.

Thanks for your patience!

If you use a regular credit card, it runs on Stripe under the hood.

The store abstracts multiple payment providers

There might be a slight delay because it takes a little time for the shopping site to talk to the game, but it should be on the order of seconds. Maybe minutes at the very latest if everything is under a lot of load

I'm not aware of any changes other than the language in a long time.

If it was changed, it would be announced in a changeset.

If you're confident you were able to attack recently, maybe that was some sort of bug so please provide the info about it so we can investigate!

Thanks! :)

I PM'ed you to see if something is broken, but yes -- Patron is the "hey thanks for the 10 years of running the game!" status/forum access and Premium is the in-game benefits moving forward

Everything looks like it worked on my end as far as I can tell, but you just haven't applied the credits to your Premium time (we don't explicitly toggle it on up front so that you can choose when you want to start it)

Hi!

It looks like the evolution2025.com domain is having problems, and since Boxcar was piggybacking on some config from there it's sort of broken.

we'll get it fixed asap

sorry about the inconvienience!

Ya, it's not against the rules -- if we didn't want it to happen, we'd restrict it specifically

I'd say the ability to not declare peace after 5 PS is a bug. Maybe it'll get fixed, but the new UI should work properly to let you declare peace even after 5 ps

If that is actually Mehul (and the IP is from Texas so maybe!) -> If you need a point of sale system for your coffee shop, give me a shout!

Otherwise, I'm disappointed to see you bring that attitude to the forum. fluffting on the next iteration of something you helped create and those who have spent their limited time trying to keep it going is a fluffty way to end my Friday.

I'm sorry you're bitter for whatever reason.

I looked into it a bit tonight -- the bots need a bit of updating to referenced updated URLs, use the new mailer I set up and to actually be turned back on, but it shouldn't be a ton of work.

Need to sync with qz quick to see if we can just change the mailer setup so I don't need to run it through SwiftMailer first -- that would cut down on the amount of work needed :D

For clarification, the "Earth" in "Earth Empires" does not refer to the dirt on the earth, but rather the whole of the earth -- including the land, water, air, space, etc.

That being said, we have no plans to add a naval element to the game.

I sort of like the idea of increasing the number of bonus acres you get as the set moves forward

Also changing the nature of that bonus as I think it's done by calendar day right now whereas I'd like to see it based on how many turns have passed so it promotes more activity.

But I haven't looked into that feature in years so I may be foggy on how it works

Interesting -- I thought we didn't apply the overflow turns until you log into the country or take an action on it. This probably isn't a super huge priority right now, but maybe someone can take a look when they have a moment.

As mentioned, the fees and account annoyingness of Paypal (and their propensity to just freeze accounts and keep your money) means we've opted for just the other methods of payment for now. We're likely not going to generate enough revenue on PayPal that it'll be worth the hassle/risk at this point. Hopefully in the future we get there.

If anyone has worries about using a CC, we don't get any access to that data at all. It's all handled by the payment processor, which handles billions of dollars in transactions weekly.
