I COULDN'T* XD care less about them personally, when major changes occur prices are reduced.
But; I was interested in writing a "Stipends Explained" for the forums.

Could @vLemon @certainlyT @lyte @xelnath or anyone else shed some light onto how the stipends are awarded?

Are they issued based on account name, or account signup date; is my primary question (Maybe even other factors, other than the que system being abit backed up?)
It's one of the major thread creators with new signups/new builds, and vLemons "Login Que explained" thread did wonders to quell some of those types of repeat posts. (Still plenty of them, but not nearly a full front page worth as it used to be)

Thanks either way!

*Fixed, you rawr goblins!

An explanation on it would do wonders as pretty much every sunday there are several threads asking "where is rp/ip stipends? QQ!

We already have tons of information on stipends, no one bothers to read it. Half the people who QQ don't even realise there's a PBE forum.

I would assume it just moves through the list alphabetically. Given the amount of people on the server, I'd take a while for a system like that to go through the entire list and give you IP/RP.

Yea that's pretty much what I'm trying to figure out. I suppose I can make another account once signups are open, and set the account name starting with an A to figure out if it's indeed alphabetical, or based on PBE signup date.



Note: I understand with signup's the que to award stipends increases, and it takes time to dole it out. The purpose here is to identify what order the system doles out the stipends; not to question the length of time the process takes.

I got my stipend today after the update. Someone on the server told me they get theirs on Monday, since the account base is large and it takes time.

YOU ARE DOING lT SO VERY VERY WRONG. IT IS I COULDN'T CARE LESS YOU ASSGOBBLER.
