how do they check when to mine?
I wrote about this before, here:
"@Amph, there is a whole science ( well maybe not a science but a simple math) behind those gold prices.
Some members watch the Gold tab Activity site like hawks, allways ready to mine at the most profitable time.
Look, the whole game market is based on real demand. There are no fixed prices for anything, all the prices, including the price of mining gold, are based on number of sales in the last 24 hours. If there are more sales, the price increases, if less, the price gets cheaper to stimulate more sales...
When you click on the Gold tab, you will see the current price for gold, meaning how many resources it will take to mine one piece of gold. Sometimes the price there is 1600, sometimes is only 100. It all depends on how much gold was recently mined.
Every hour the game fund provides maximum 3 gold for miners. In this page you can see the activity of gold mines all over the world. In order to extract the gold you need to build a gold mine. Extraction of gold requires resources. The raw material's quantity required to extract one gold is revised every hour and posted in this page.
The gold in the game, just like our bitcoin, it's a limited resource. There could never be more than 100,000 gold in circulation. The game fund is constantly adjusting and controlling the amount of gold available to members. So every hour the fund provides max 3 gold. If the members mine more, the price to mine raises, if they mine less, the price declines.
"In the last 24 hours, miners extracted 75.22 gold. The last deposit was found 42 minutes ago"
In the last 24 hours members mined 75.22 gold, meaning they mined more then the set standard, the standard is no more than 3 gold per hour,
meaning (3x24) they mined over the limit and now, in the next hour, when the price will be adjusted, we can be sure the price will go up.
There is also one more indication, how long ego was found the last gold deposit... and same, if it was longer then 3 hours, the price will go down, less - the price will go up.
These gold calculations are not very important at the beginning of the game, but as we progress to raw material and gold sellers, they are becoming more and more crucial... We are not playing any more, we are carefully calculating % of our profits :-)"
This could of been a great game. But, they have too many aspects of the game which stop you from enjoying it. Such, as you come back every X amount of hours. That's not enjoyable. It's more like a routine.
The only routine part in the game is the collection of products, and that in level 5 is every 48h, so not too often. The higher the level of the game - the more fun! When you have plenty of workers, you can finish your processes almost instantly and truly enjoy building your town. To make everything fit there, yep, this is very much enjoyable, at least for me and many others.
You think it is too easy, nope, it is not easy at all, try to get to 100% happiness and then tell us how easy that was...
now i've read, that it is possible to mine only 72 virtual gold per days(3x24 hours)
this mean 1gr= 703 virtual gold = 30.73----->703:30.73=72:x----> x=(30.73x72)/703= 3.14 euro a day x 30= about 100 in one month
this mean that, even if you are the only miner, which isn't true, it's impossible to do more than 100 in one month, and someone already said that they are making 1k in one month.
but then you have that 1 virtual gold is 5 euro, something isn't right here lol
You can't buy for 5 euro any more and it will cost more and more...
Your calculation is correct as to the number of virtual coins, BUT have you noticed, right at the top of the site, it is shown the current, updated Gold Reserve. That 24k gold backup is steadily on the rise, its amount is increasing as the game progresses. At the moment of this writing (and the amount is changing in front of our eyes) it is 142.77878 Gr Gold and 1 gr real 24k gold = 700 game gold!
1 virtual gold price is based NOT on mining but on that reserve and that reserve is based on total profits in the game. Have you forgotten, they are selling energy packs, selling instant finishing, advertising and of course collecting taxes, and as you well know, those taxes are not small...
I wasn't that someone who said that is already making 1K in a month, but I can easily imagine that, I think that top members are making way more than 1K... and please kindly remember, they are NOT only earning gold from mining, mining is the main way of earning but NOT the only one. Members calculate their profits, sometimes they are not mining, but instead selling raws. Or they are mining and selling raws! Observe the market place more, those raws there sell like warm buns.
Members also make profits from selling game workers, participating in wars and attacks and they make substantial profits from selling their referrals.
This is a live marketplace and a live trading platform, all numbers have to fit there precisely!
