Is there any thought on letting people with accumulated REC change that over to alpha UEC so we don't have long periods of time to play and earn it?
TL;DRConverting REC to Alpha UEC is something to entertain but not now, since Alpha UEC is meant to be freely given or removed for testing, though later rewards for large REC amounts are possible.
It's something to entertain. It wouldn't be as much of a benefit for testing, because we want to see how, we were going to go into it with our thinking, here's how we were going to play, here's what the appropriate amount to earn is, here's how long we want it to take to earn. We need to get that data first. Certainly, we can look down the road. I don't even know if it would be Alpha UEC, but maybe once we get to UEC, we can look at people who have astonishing amounts of REC and say, okay, here's your reward for that.
Yeah, the real purpose of Alpha UEC at this point is because we want to be able to nuke it entirely, give it out, take it away, and change it as we experiment with the value of things. So it's not supposed to be something that you earn, it's supposed to be something that we can give and take away.
They do earn, they will earn, and so on, in Crusader, which is other information we desperately need to track. The other big, big thing about Alpha UEC is, as he says, we can say, hey, everybody's a billionaire today, and see how the game reacts to that, or hey, nobody has any money today, see how people play. It's testing.
