I've found out that this isn't against any rules, and the game had no probs with me buying 1,200 in a day. I'm probably not the only person who's donated more than once in a short space of time. Thing is, however nice it is to give to a site I love (and to get more points when I was running low!), does it seem a bit dodgy and unfair that people with more money might do better in the game - or is it completely fair, that the people who help keep the game running deserve to do better!?

Probably a good enough reason as to why the game should go to real time instead of retaining the points system |

Depends what you play the game for. Do you play it to be the best, the chart-topping, richest, most popular band out there? Do you play it for the forums, choosing to flesh your band out here? Or is it a combination of both? I think only if you're choosing the first one does any issue of "buying" success enter and these players are the most likely to want to maintain this success. |

I play mainly for the forums, so rarely use the game and get most of my points from hoarding.  .... and counting. ;) (No bought points on this account, I've just left it alone that long. I have a few accounts in the 13,000s as well.) But if I run low, I'll buy a few. It's not something I do often. On a side note. Why do I buy points, when I am completely against buying points with ingame money? Because .... game dosh doesn't help pay for the cost of the site, actual cash does. |

Exactly, a fair compromise. You don't need to buy points and you don't do it to get massively ahead. You do it in order to give back to the game, the points are kinda a bonus. I actually think most people who play the forums are like this. Maybe not buying 1200 points a day, but at least once or so. |
