I have been testing various times off line to see how many turns I aquire upon login. It has changed inconsistently. Did a 12hour test and came back to only 30 turns gained. So that means to get to a full 100(106) turns I need to be offline for at least 36 hours?

You don't have to be offline for any reason game related unless you are an effin ninja making a complicated jump that only like half a dozen players currently playing understand. You don't, and its not viable on most servers anyway.

THERE IS NO LOG-OFF BONUS ANYMORE. I know the game says so, but there really isn't, there is a login bonus as has been true for almost a decade now. It essentially gives you more turns the more you play, up to a point.

I also did not realize that was a thing, pretty cool if true! Although I never let my points expire...

Having seen the code recently, I don't think that exists anymore.

Bug was in charge of earthquakes, not bonus points.

Do log off bonuses still exist? I remember back in the Swirve days, you'd gain 3 extra turns for being logged off for 12 hours and 6 extra turns for 18 hours. Sometimes when I log in now, it says I've received an extra 3 or 6 turns for leaving my country alone. Is this not the log off bonuses?

What are log in bonuses? I have not seen these.

No. The bonus turns are still on an 18 hour timer, but you don't have to stay logged out to get them.

Alright thanks. That's a relief. All this time, I was afraid to log back in too early. They should really explain this somewhere on the site.
