Is this where Little Belle's VFK Clock Room comes in to play? (While Wendy has finger over delete button)...King...the clock is ticking....

Hmm.. so this is Gamma?
Seems not only did they not shut off being on overnight (as stated as a perk for VIP).. but it is not single player mode either. I have been on since 8 this morning, seeing and talking with many players :??:

Also it allowed them to sell memberships which could show a revenue stream for the same people. I estimate it brought in around $ 200K

Do you really think 4081 people paid out of 18,000 accounts? Some of the 18,000 have to be in the same family, so the total number of househoulds has to be a significantly less # than that.

I base my number on the transaction numbers they gave at purchase which as people I knew purchased ollowed a normal tajectory. I expect it was around 4,000 accounts paid for - with like an average of 4-5 people in each family group. I have no real numbers to go off of but I see a lot of hats so 18K sounds about right. I did not call it good bad or ugly - only that it was probably something they promised investors that they achieved a + side on the balance sheet.

They did shut down at close and were in single player mode till at least 3:30 am est. I expected a live tiest - that is what you experienced I am sure but they waited till early morning to do it I guess instead of late night.
I am not clear how the VIP thing will work I think we can only talk to people in our family or group.
