Market Report January

sugarvalves [1963573] — Find how how high Love Juice and Xanax values will rise, where can prices are heading, where all the pornography has gone, and why temp prices might soon change in this month's Market Report. VALENTINE'S DAY LOOMS LARGE The Valentine's Day attacking event returns to bathe our streets with blood next week, with Love Juice once more able to reduce the energy cost of attacking and reviving by 10e. Love Juice can only be acquired by finding it on the City Map during the V-Day event, but if you look at its circulation graph you'll notice an upward curve in numbers that started in mid-January. Pictured: Love Juice one-month circulation graph. This trend was caused by an increase in the number of people checking their City Map for items, which itself was driven by the boost to map spawns provided by Awareness Week. This graph only represents an increase of a hundred bottles, however, so a circulation increase doesn't help us explain the flat pric...

Roster Locks for Ranked Wars

sugarvalves [1963573] — Factions involved in Ranked Warring set to see memberships locked down for duration of wars from February 1st. Find out how this may affect you and why it's been introduced Tuesday’s Patch Notes contained an announcement that factions participating in the Ranked Warring feature will soon be subjected to a full roster lock for the period between a match being found and the cessation of said war. Roster locks, which will be introduced from February 1st, mean that no members can join, leave, or be kicked from a faction until their current Ranked War is over - this will not apply during matchmaking, only when a match has been found. This change has been introduced in order to close a loophole that may have been exploited since Ranked Warring opened. The loophole in question relates to the 72-hour recruit status applied to players when joining a faction. Recruit status means that said players cannot contribute to a Ranked War, but they can still be hit and lo...
