Since we had 2 instances in the last week, the developers have implemented a new anti-spam addon for Private Messages.

Here are the limitations of the new system:
-Newcomers are limited to 5 messages in the first 24hours.

All other players are limited according to the time they play the game.

First 10 days: 30 messages max per day.
After this, the limit is set to 100 and it grows with time.
(11 days is at 110)

A one month player will have a limit of 300.
2 months -> 600

Of course we will still reply on your reports to catch any spammers in time so they won't keep spamming day after day.

Just make sure people can't cheat to get rubies.

Does this include alliance circular messages, or is this just concerning private messages? I'm not that talkative, but some people may be chatty, and if the intent is to limit spam, it doesn't seem like alliance circular messages should be included in the daily maximum of messages, as the alliance should be able to deal with a possible spammer on its own terms.

It does only include Private Messages, not circular or anything else. If found otherwise, just let us know.

I don't like the idea... i am a very chatty person... i send WAY more than 30 messages per 24 hours... mainly while talking to friends... i suggest that the longer you have played the game the more messages you can send... because people that stick to the game are not usually spammers... i suggest

for the first month of activity -- 20 messages/day
2nd month -- 30/day
3rd -- 40/day
4th -- 50/day
5th -- 75/day...

I mean really... buying rubies so that you can talk to your friends doesn't seem right.
