Can anyone please translate this to english? English as in "well, I'm no native speaker of that funny language" kind of way?

Please. Thanks.

There have clearly been some changes to the bank and efd in general. I realise that at the moment, maintenance is ongoing.

Once maintenance is complete please can you post a thread explaining the new rules/how efd and the bank now works.

Also if there is a penalty for withdrawing which has been introduced without warning, will we get an amnesty to withdraw without penalty if we do so before a certain date?

(Btw the richest users looks way wrong - surely bertha and alice should figure there somewhere? And yes I know - maintenance is ongoing )

Thanks

also will i be able to purchase stuff in the shop without transfering? to even look at the shop items one would have to have the efd to spend outside of the bank. i don't want to pay 1% to just window shop

I am still in the process of configuring all the settings in the new and improved EFD system. Many of the settings you see now are default settings, and will be adjusted.

This text is the default. I will edit it so that it is more clear once all the settings and configurations are finalized.

I will of course post a comprehensive guide of all the new and altered EFD features. But first I need to finish the upgrades and configurations

There is a bug in the richest users list which results in sorting based on EFD checking balance rather than the (checking+savings) balance. I have reported this bug to the programmers, and it should be fixed shortly.

Bertha Bot and forum admins (myself and MindBuster) have been excluded from the richest users list, so that the list reflects only members.


***Notes***
One feature I can point out is that the EFD balance you see under your avatar image in a post (and in the Welcome Box at the top right of every forum page) reflects your total EFD balance (checking+savings). Clicking on the [Manage] link will direct you to the EFD bank, where you can deposit or withdraw EFDs from you savings account.

I still have lots of work to do on finalizing the new EFD system, but you can try out the new Lottery features

http://www.entropiaforum.com/forums/....php?do=manage

There are now two types of drawings:

Lottery : Members select a number between 1 and 10000 and enter it in the 'Drawing Number' field. This field is pre-populated with a random number for convenience, but you are free to change it to your 'lucky' number if you like. A winning number is randomly drawn once per day (at 5 am MA time) or once per week for the weekly drawing. If no member has chosen the winning number, the jackpot rolls over to the next drawing. If multiple members have chosen the winning number, the jackpot is split equally among the winners. The software will display how many tickets you hold for the next drawing, and your chance of winning (# of tickets / 10000). The chance of winning for each ticket purchased is 1:10000.

Raffle: This works in the same way as the old EFD lottery. Members purchase tickets. Each day (at 5 am MA time) a purchased ticket is selected at random, and the jackpot is awarded. The software will display how many tickets you hold for the next drawing, and your chance of winning (this is dynamic, depending on how many other tickets have been sold. As there is always a winner in the raffle drawings, prizes are not rolled over.

The maximum number of tickets members can purchase for any individual drawing is 25.

The Donate function is also working properly, so members can still transfer EFDs to one another during this maintenance period.

Links to both the banking and donate/drawings section can be found in the navigation menu in the left column of the User CP

Enjoy, and thanks for your patience!

Will this cap be raised? By how much?

I like the efd system, as it is a way for me to earn a few peds for ingame use other than sweating (when I finally get around to selling my 11k and growing efd's). I wonder if it was necessary to add the 1%fee for transfers? Is that what you meant by default settings that will be changed? You didn't specifically adress this issue.
Thanks again for the system 711 and +rep

[honest]

any idea when the upgrade will be done?

lol?

edit, never mind

edit2

sounds a bit like a nerf with game money
"nah, your monopoly money is worth the half now!"
funny :P

the transaction fee hurts

besides, do we have to pay decay when we take the clothes off as well now?

and will the gifts i had be replaced, or i get the EFD back for them?

i would also like a feature to just show the EFD which isn't in the bank ^^

edit 3

any reason given for the 100k on bank max?
i mean, where is the fun to collect them when you cant place them on the bank even?

i think its lame
oki, i have most, ofc i had to say that, but still
it isn't fair and doesn't seem to have a useful reason

kinda like clothes and armor decay?
maybe it reduces the lag while transfering EFD, huh?

To the starter of this thread, dont worry i think the EFD system works perfectly

[Acronoid]

so, I get my colered user title back then
