Note: Current activity points are likely incorrect. I don’t care. If you do something (buy/sell a horse, enter a race, etc) in the future and don’t get the appropriate points, let me know. But I’m not going to spend hours fixing old points.
The last points I recieved for entering races was on 2009-08-09. I know you’re not fixing anything in the past, this is just for reference.
The last horse I entered who ran was Ricohet on 8/30 and didn’t recieve any points for that. I’ve been in the game for under 2 years so I think I should still be recieving points for entering races.
The same thing is happening to me. I bought four horses and I have points for selling. Also, I’ve entered horses in 5 races since I’ve been here and have 2 more racing today.
Basically, all the points that everyone has accumulated up to now has some margin of error to it. Those totals will stand, however. Please understand that with revamping the race code and adding all the cool searchable goodies and other updates to FF, making sure everybody’s gotten the right amount of points for their transactions has been a pretty low priority. From now on, though, the totals should be fine.
It’s not wrong to report errors in the code so Shanthi can fix them…but in this case she just doesn’t have the time to go back, research however many points people are supposed to have, and update them. Please, guys, let it go. In the long run we’ll all earn points aplenty to get our own custom-designed ponies, I am sure.
Edited to add: Whoops, thought I was replying at another point in the thread…not trying to beat a dead subject or anything, truly.
If find watching the activity points amusing. Since I have 6 points for entering races (true, but not the right number ) and 6 for selling horses (I’ve only bought a horse). I’ve read a billion posts about people reporting this; I’m not reporting. I just find it amusing.
When you redeem your points, how long should it take before you receive the new horse? I redeemed some points over 2 maybe 3 weeks ago and nothing yet.
It should be immediate…it should say “Redeeming your horse” (or Creating your horse, or something), and then refresh the page to show a link to your horse.
