Just read through the newsletter from IRE and there was something about login credits but I don't remember an announce nor does it look like any have been added to Saran.

Has anyone been getting these? Achaea and Aetolia are giving them out, not sure about imperian.

You have to be in a few minutes.

You need to be online for 10 minutes each day to receive them, and they are bound credits. It's IRE-wide so as far as I'm aware, Imperian is receiving them too.

Last time i was on Midkemiaonline I received bound credits as well as on Lusternia, so that's further evidence that it's IRE-wide (though not conclusive).

It happens on Lusternia, it might be an internal timer not exactly set to ten minutes. I had to wait about 30 on Achaea one day.

It's definitely IRE wide, I collect a bound credit on Achaea, MKO and Lusternia each day. The time varies according to the mud but it's usually about 11-12 minutes.

I suggested daily credits/lessons a while back as
  • a method to counter the effects of lesson loss. ie) You're (potentially) gifted a free race change or the liberty to change your tertiary/trade once a year. If you're dedicated enough to play daily for an entire year then really it's no big deal.
  • an incentive to encourage players to play more. I still think this is a good idea but now I would revise the prerequisite to 'hunt 10 critters for each day'. As I mentioned I collect credits for muds I don't even play because it's really easy to pop in and waste 10 minutes. If you were encouraged to hunt then you would probably def up, see friends/people you know and 10 minutes might suddenly become 60....


If the bonus is working well (players that spend more time on the mud buy more credits, average number of players in this month is higher, etc.) then it'd be nice to see it made a permanent thing. happydance.gif

It takes less than ten minutes to kick ten rats/weevils, I think. biggrin.gif

Yeah that is true, but there could be a level/tier based point system similar to the Great Hunt. It doesn't even have to be hunting (which can be automated). Off the top of my head the time limit could be raised to half an hour, maybe kill 20 different critters and they can't all be the same type), activity (commands entered per minute), etc. I'm sure you can get creative.

Yep, been getting them on all 3 of my guys. biggrin.gif They'll definitely come in handy for Xaakin (though I think I missed a day on him :<).
