Abusing Vacation Mode

[Jenkski]

Hi all, there are many players that abuse Vacation Mode. How? Maybe you wonder why this info is not translated into English, German or Romanian.

Edit: here was the image of the Bulgarian Vacation Mode Window

This is the Vacation Mode window in Bulgarian. I do not understand what it saids, but I suppose that is something like you can activate vacation mode by sending an SMS. So it overwrites the 1 time/week use of vacation mode.

I see players that wake up in the middle of the night, they farm all they can and then they send an SMS and enter in vacation mode. And this happens day by day. How can you possibly fight against a player that is all the game in vacation mode?

This is outrageous, people.

Can someone translate the COMPLETE Bulgarian language information to all the interfaces?

Would really be nice if the translation would be done a little bit more serious. There are many issues already known where the translation is lacking, and still - no changes can be seen. If you want to keep your international players - better do something against that because there are other games out there which really care about equal chances.

Ingame changes


1. Bug fix
Fixed bug - the usage of the shipmarket as additional storage. At 12:00 EET 17.10.2007 the fix will be applied and all resources will drop on planet 48 hours after the deal time.

2. Vacation mode changes.

The vacation mode is 48 hours. It can be stopped anytime if you sent an sms or if you pay 100 nanocredits.

So - if you send an SMS it is free to stop vacation mode? No Nano Credit spendings? That doesn´t make sense, sorry.

I have been reading this tread over and over again for the last week hoping beyond hope a admin would reply. Alas, no luck.

Can someone please describe in detail by step how to remove vacation mode via a sms, I though a sms was a message/ email to you email account letting you know your under attack, how can a player send a SMS to the game? I am confused... A step by step detail of this process would be helpful.

Lets make the playing field even and get this information out..

Just think if Darth Vader could send an SMS message to his Death Star before Luke fired the kill shot.

Star Wars The Sith Empire instead of Return of the Jedi.

I agree that abusing vacation is poor game play.

Yea but until they change it does anyone know how we can do this as well? I am getting darn tired of getting raided by everyone in the universe who always seem to be on vacation!

Very Simple:

Step 1: You go to the Bulgarian page of the vacation mode.

Step 2: You send a SMS message containing the code text shown on the first bold line at the number shown at the second bold line.

Step 3: You will be charged 2$ / SMS plus service costs of your mobile network.

just like that and pum... you are in acation mode
