But ponder the second half of my post: exactly how does a level 25 player come up with 1 billion credits in 10 days???
Hannah was a returning player from old, whom I suspect was owed funds from many players who are still with us from that time period as she was a very generous player. I know several players on her return were returning borrowed items from her previous play time and sending her back payments.

A Walk in the Woods helps me relax and release the tension from a hard day at the code.
The fact that I'm dragging a body behind me should be irrelevant!

If this is truly the case, how would you go about fixing it? I have suggested a few ideas to Coops of late about this but would require a entire re-write of the game and starting from scratch so not really options.

Yes I to have noticed NEW CHARACTERS flying past me in credits and such but I enjoy the game with the little niggles as in real life. I have found those who cheat or take advantage of loopholes do not enjoy the game like we who play the rules. They get to the top so quickly that they get bored and need to start again as someone new, again and again.......BOARING! (Yes the "A" stays.)
