So many people complain about the loss of Planets.
To be honest, I don't really care, if I loose planets. I only need them to buy buddyslots and I accidentally bought 100 slots last time, as the price of one Slot on the Playerpage was displayed as 1planet, instead of 150planets.
However, for me the planets have no real purpose, except that, so I don't really mind if I loose them.
And having to pay 5 or 10 planets for a car, that is used in a mediatracker of a track is not really an issue, as this case occurs maybe twice a month.

I hope with the release of some Custom Titles I'll need to spend some more planets! :pop:

Well you could always donate them to the servers you play on to say thanks to the people who spend their own time and effort (and money) to run them. Although it may nit mean much to you, we aren't talking about a couple of hundred planets here. When it costs 40,000 planets and more for a server upgrade then losing several thousand planets is a huge hit... Especially if people *aren't* giving donations to the server.

Agreed!
If I lose next month again so many planets, I'm going to upgrade all servers to 60-90k,
then I don't lose anything anymore ;P

In addition to helping, like everyone else, to fight against inflation (which would reduce the value of your planets without you knowing it), you also keep for you and for us, a memory of your economical success somehow.

If one month everybody double of planets, everybody would transfer half of their planets into EP so everybody would have the same level toward the ability to have things from others with planets. Otherwise, it would require that all prices doubles. It is more complicated since ManiaCredits and a lot of other things works better if price are stable.

With this memory of economical success, you will have some benefits of thrust somehow. It is complicated, but you will be able to vow for an organisation at first. This organisation will have reductions on depot amount and increase the number of dedicated server that they can have for example. If one of the organisation that you thrust break a rule, you would lose EP.

You EP will be indicated soon ingame I think as well as your global rank. The ranking will not be public to avoid people trying to be buddies with economically powerful players.

this explains not, why servers are ripped off, and ep does not count to serverowners.
also it explains not why servers do not gain planets as mentioned in post #1
(got 70 EP on personal account - but server lost 6 k Planets)

It is a bug if serverowners does not get EPs, sorry. We will look at this and award them from the past. :oops:

Edit: by the way, servers depots have to counted in, otherwise it is fiscal paradise and people who would avoid to contribute equally to others to the fight against inflation.

thanks 4 fast answer,

is there a way, we can see how many planets are cut off the servers, and how many are added for active players /serverlogin ? - as i wrote several times, on platform not a single planet seems to be added to the serveraccount for active players.
