Hi everybody.

TO Developers:

I recently wrote to Support, and Lee Pennock asked me to place here the following information:

Hello.

I have been wanting to inform the English Support Staff about some error for a few months now, but with so many unexpected things going on I have been postponing it time after time.

It's in regard to the Game's Home page when a player logs in and the 100% EP Booster offer is announced there.
I cannot remember for how long that small error has been there,
but it has at least for the last 2 times the 100% EP Booster was available.

Too, I can't now recollect whether or not a similar mistake is displayed when there is the 50% EP Booster.

This is the error:
After a 2-line paragraph the offer continues with "Attention admirals,",
then another 2-line paragraph follows, and after that a 3-part paragraph explains what the EP Booster is about.

Well, in the 3rd. explanation provided you can read:
"Want FIVE full days of extra EP?... Then order 100,000 Helix...".

And that is the mistake, as for 5 days a player will need to purchase only 50,000 helix!!
Therefore, where it says "five", it should actually be "TEN" (hence my capitals).

It's rather misleading, as a player might think that the cost of 100,000 helix is not worth for just 5 days.

Hopefully, BP technicians/programmers will be able to fix it before the next EP Booster should appear?

Sincerely,

Jud (ex 3FA)/Adler

PS: I have sent to Support a screenshot of such 100% EP Booster offer as it was seen the last time it was available.

I noticed the same error.

My guess is that at some point in the past, there was a reference to 10 days vs. the new 5 day reference.

I just assumed it was a typo and that no one bothered to proof-read for accuracy.

Regardless, it should read accurately.

Hello,

Wow and thank you! You will find that that in the description we do mention that you get 10 days but indeed this is a mistake that needs to be rectified.

I will get the team right on it!

With thanks
