I'd prefer to be paid in elite guard you seem to have lots:-)
But seriously Dominik is making a valid point. We have all been good
Olympia citizens and reported bugs when we find them. Bron even
collected all of the known bugs with examples and published it so
we didn't all hit the same problems. We have co-operated and done our
bit but Rich doesn't even bother replying. These aren't minor little
annoyances we are talking about here. We are talking about whole
skills being useless. The list of spells that doesn't work is
not large but they are important spells.
Eating the Dead
Fierce Winds
Resurect Noble
Make Auriculcum
The noble point bug is very serious to a player who has lost the
point.
It is not a matter of just "Well if he ain't providing service I'm
going to take my $2.50 and go somewhere else". Take Rueben's case. 50
turns of spell studying gone. That is 50 x $2.50 wasted making $125.
Now that is US and given the shocking exchange rate in Australia that
is ~$A210. For that I expect a reply or two.
This is not isolated bleating by regular complainers, almost every
serious player has complained. I took my 'bleating' to the list as
everyone I spoke to about bugs said the same thing, "Don't hold your
breath waiting for Rich to reply or fix the bug". I must say I was
pleasantly surprised when it was fixed.
Bron has the comprehensive list of bugs. Could Rich just acknowledge
that the bugs on the list are bugs and not stuff ups in orders and
maybe a priority for fixing them or some acknowledgement that he
knows they are there.

PS send the elites to Rhonius, Dominik. I'm thinking of building a
new castle there. :-)
