I had thought that a certain percentage of your total points are added to your total each day that you log in at least once. However, I have noticed that this has not happened to my total for the past several days. Has there been a rule change?

today's the first day for me but I got almost nothing compared to what I've been getting, something must have changed.

Don't you get points for logging in?

I haven't for the past few days, and I have asked one of the admins but have not gotten a response.

We just put a change in, but it was today not before. What we did was limit the interest to 1,000 a day since people are getting millions in interest.

I was only getting about 150 in interest before, now I'm only getting half that. Is this part of the change?

Why not just make it like 10 percent or something? What was it set to before? 1k a day seems tto small.

I think it was set at either 1 or 5% before, but for those with millions, hundreds of millions, and even billions of points, as I'm sure you can imagine, they were getting millions of points in interest just for logging in even if they didn't do anything else to increase their points for that day. I was getting to like getting a couple million points for doing nothing more than logging in, but I can understand why the change was made. If you go to the statistics and see the people with the most points, you can see that many people have so many points that they could accummulate about 10 million for just logging in.

Yeah, got a point there, and last I checked at least a half dozen are stuck at 2 billion 647 million something, so I guess I could see why the change, and it can be a good one.
