It's currently 2pm, GMT, and I've just been informed that I've used my allocation of RPCs for the day.
So, fourteen hours into the day, and I can't do anything else for the rest of the day.
This is as a result of the overnight update that changed the RPC limit back to 5,000 per day and 50 per minute. Well, unless you pay 25 Essentia a week and get back to what we had yesterday.
I can't help but think that this is an incredibly short-sighted decision; if you've got a decent sized empire, you're going to be able to burn through your allocation in no time at all, even if you're not using scripts. So it's essentially targetting the high-end players - you know, the ones who've put time and effort into building their empires, and who have been supporting the game already. And now they're expected to pay more, just to carry on. That doesn't seem like a good idea.
I've already been losing a little interest in the game, and this really isn't going to help. It's one thing to voluntarily choose to pay to get an edge, and quite another to have to pay.
Oh, and the dumbest part? I went to log on to sign up. But logging in requires an RPC call, and so I'm effectively locked out of the game for another ten hours.
Well done. You've even made it impossible for me to give you money.
