You can't raise the Cash of corporations over 45.00B SC$. (Kebir Blue)

Tom have you considered that your changes may not be responsible for new players and that word of mouth, advertising, and a growing online mmog community in general may be responsible for increasing numbers of players? Just because you are making changes and the number of players is increasing does not mean they are related.

I had suggested convertible corps several times, and am glad about the possiiblity that this dream will come true. (Now about those trains!) I hope that a conversion will be fairly quick, maybe on the time scale of bulding a new company. And the price should be paid out of corporation cash, which is another reason for a higher cash retention, although Tom, I think you might be thingking a 1 coin fee might be appropriate.


I do have a question.
Since the sales price of high quality products is limited, what is the point of truly public corporations?

We have discussed the cash limit in private corporations this morning and raised it to 60B.

I asked yesterday for reasons and got them. thanks.

as cash needs will continue to decline, we may come to different conclusions in the future, but for now, 45B seemed too low and we consider it an overshoot. It is already corrected.

Transferred 4.82T SC$ to 565 corporations.
For some corporations it was not necessary to increase their (net) cash above 45.00B SC$.

^^You were saying? Apparently this change is not in effect yet.

Yeah upon reading this message I went to recap my CEOs and they both tell me the limit is at 45B still. Glad to see that there has been a change of heart though Tom.

Please try again. It is 60B. I made the change myself this morning.
I checked again now I really typed 60 and copied to all worlds.

I tried. it is 45B.
something is wrong.

I will be back in 5.

/me rolls eyes

Yes. You did change the limit to 60B. But you forgot to change the message.

good call Tom Willard. thanks for listening.

There are two properties.
one for the cash reduction target level and one for transfers into corporations.

I only increased one of them.

it is now corrected and stands at 60B.

The message is just fine.

sorry about that.

Thanks Tom, its a start!

have to admit that GM actually listened to the issues and responded extremley quickly to increase the transfer to 60B. Applauds loudly. However this raises a question that apparentely has not been asked - why was the transfer limit raised to 60B when it had been lowered to 50B and then 45B. Can we take it as read that the reduction to 50B was causing issues. Will GM subsequently address the other issues that have been raised especially the quality cap limit. GM - address the issues - keep your customers

there is hardly any that has ever anountced 40B loss in a single year.<!-/Quote-!>

*cough*Royal Bank of Scotland*cough*

even better - Insurance giant AIG has reported a loss of $61.7bn (£43bn) in the final three months of 2008 - the largest quarterly loss in corporate history

Great now we can continue to stuff cash into our corps to avoid financial services!

Not really...before this I had several corps with 200B that can now only hold 60B.

Tom,

I would like to say thank you for listening. This is the first step in the right direction. We have given you a lot of crap here and I think we all at least feel that you have heard us. Please keep listening and working with us.

ATG

Thanks for listening to our reasons and acting upon them!

Next-convertible corps...trains

And when trains have been added, what about theme parks?

Anyone realize why they are doing this change?

Well they introduced financial services for enterprises right? So smart players just think 'alright I will just withdraw cash from corporations when I need it'. Leaving a loophole in their cash limit, allowing CEOs to store their wealth in corporations. Well not anymore. The problem is their persuit for visa warriors appears to have caused yet another deprovement in game functionalliy. Soon SC will be a slot machine without the fancy eye candy and very improbable jackpots.

This is yet another reason for leaving the game.
