made the 12/18 hr bonus login turns so that it would smooth out the traffic in the game back then ? If so.. shouldnt we 'upgrade' it

Yeah. Get rid of it, since it is no longer needed for that purpose.
I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

yeah .. about time.

The damn 18/12 hours load balance/spread out back then works out.

now .. with all the mb's and gb's speed rolling out.. upgrade already.

well, it still does provide a bonus to getting people to play once a day, or twice a day, rather than just staying logged in *ALL* the time =/
Finally did the signature thing.

yeah removing it would be a boost to the no lifers, who already have a competitive advantage.

Also to remind us of all the multis that were run back in the day... ;-)

Add this to the list of the reasons why this game is enigmatic; they don't want you to actually play the game.

It all works out, because most of us don't actually want to play the game either.

But again that wasn't the reason behind it. The game back in the day was all about being "real time"

I see no reason to not favor players who want to put 24 hours a day into the game...I'm not sure why they'd do that mind you.
