tbourner Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Anyone know if they've decided to reset it or not? I think there'll be many unhappy people regardless of the poll results! How about the people setting up multiple accounts and buying all the nearby roads so nobody else gets them, then selling them to the main account when funds allow. How can they stop that?

MaveriK Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Me too! It looks like they might be resetting the game though. There's a poll on the blog and 78% of people have voted for it to be reset to give others a chance to get the streets. And then someone dumps a couple of hazards on your empire.

Snooze Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 They surely HAVE to reset it. There is a ridiculously major bug that it doesn't enforce unique user names! If you register using a user name of an eixsting player, that person can never log in again! It is a FAIL of epic proportions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 This seems to have generated a lot of interest on the forum - would it be an idea to get everyone's Monopoly username together via a thread on here and then have a "mini league" set up for a bit of friendly competition? I see there is a function on the site to create a leaderboard of your own friends. Obviously it would be of more value after they reset it - so everyone starts from scratch at the same time.

tbourner Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 What do you think about creating multiple accounts? OK or cheating? I haven't done it but it allows you to buy roads off your main account at inflated prices. Otherwise it's 10 minutes of gameplay to spend your 'rent' then leave it until the next day, pretty boring.

probrox Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 How do you buldoze things? I've had to discard 3 chance cards cos I can't get them to destroy anything!! I think there must still be a bug with that. It seemed to work ok yesterday, but it won't let me destroy anything today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 How do you buldoze things? I've had to discard 3 chance cards cos I can't get them to destroy anything!! Same here. The 'game' does seemed pretty fucked up at the moment, I've got a current score of 14mil, top national scores are 40-150mil but globally there's a couple of 'players' who've just gone past a trillion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Anyone persist with this then? It's being reset in a few hours. I ended up King Of South Wales with 67mil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'm top of my local - 63,500,000 points. It's just like mybrute and the facebook games though in that you spend about 10 mins on it every day then that's it, it's hardly exciting.

tbourner Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 It's back up and running now. Bit slow though, they should upgrade their servers really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Is it only me still playing this? The bloggers are laying into them something chronic for their changes to the rent rules they suddenly slipped in!! Still loads of people with billions in points after only a few days, and it still has issues with various things that I'm trying to do and end up waiting for. I think there are some massive memory leaks in it somewhere cos if I leave it open with the egg timer up by the time I come back to it 5 mins later my whole PC has slowed right down!! Pants.

tbourner Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Er, am i ment to stay connected to receive all my goodies then? Have been logging on in the morning, doing my business and then logging off No that's all I'm doing, except I log on, go to buy another street or move to one of my streets to build a building and it goes that cream colour all over the screen and the egg timer sits at the top. I can get up the info 'cards' on screen but can't actually do anything on the map. I've rebooted my PC twice now and eventually spent all my rent for the day, only took about 4 hours for a 10 min job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I had a go before they cleared it all down, but couldn't understand how people had many billions after only a couple of days. You didn't start off with anywhere near enough money to buy properties to earn you anything like that amount (since you only got rent per day). Obviously exploiting the game somehow, and I can't be bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yeah I've still stuck with it, should hit 100m score tomorrow. Down for maintenance at mo to remove the cheaters. but couldn't understand how people had many billions after only a couple of days. You didn't start off with anywhere near enough money to buy properties to earn you anything like that amount (since you only got rent per day). Mainly by creating multiple accounts and repeatedly selling properties between them at inflated prices. Global leaderboard showed that as there was one guy filling the top ten with numbered versions of subtle username of 'best cheater'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can get that much from multiple accounts, it's more likely hackers making scripts that reset their money - it's pretty weak programming from what I can see so wouldn't be too hard for a clever writer to make something that can do it. There was a glitch at one point where if you put an offer on a road for -£10,000,000 it credited your account with £10,000,000 as long as the offer was on the table!
