When the inventor of chess showed it to the emperor of India, the emperor was
so impressed by the new game, that he said to the man:

"Name your reward!"

The man responded,

"Oh emperor, my wishes are simple. I only wish for this. Give me one grain
of rice for the first square of the chessboard, two grains for the next square,
four for the next, eight for the next and so on for all 64 squares."

This seemed to the ruler to be a modest request, so he called for his servants
to bring the rice. How surprised he was to find that the rice quickly covered
the chess board, then filled the palace!

In a similar fashion, our durability formula (100 + 99 + 98 .. + 1), did not add up to what we intuitively expected.

Code:

100 + 99 + 98 + 97 + 96 + 95 + 94 + 93 + 92 + 91 + 90 + 89 + 88 + 87 + 86 + 85
+ 84 + 83 + 82 + 81 + 80 + 79 + 78 + 77 + 76 + 75 + 74 + 73 + 72 + 71 + 70 + 69
+ 68 + 67 + 66 + 65 + 64 + 63 + 62 + 61 + 60 + 59 + 58 + 57 + 56 + 55 + 54 + 53
+ 52 + 51 + 50 + 49 + 48 + 47 + 46 + 45 + 44 + 43 + 42 + 41 + 40 + 39 + 38 + 37
+ 36 + 35 + 34 + 33 + 32 + 31 + 30 + 29 + 28 + 27 + 26 + 25 + 24 + 23 + 22 + 21
+ 20 + 19 + 18 + 17 + 16 + 15 + 14 + 13 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4
+ 3 + 2 + 1 + 0
= 5050

5050 whooping durability points!

Then, we had something like a 1 in 1000 chance of breakage (i.e. applying the durability damage).

Code:

5050 * 1000 = 5050000

That's 5 million points!

Given that the breakage only happens on use, and average cooldown for item use is 5 minutes, we get

Code:

5050000 * 5 = 25250000 minutes of item lifetime

If your head is not spinning yet, 25250000 minutes is 420833 hours or 17534 days or 48 years.

Not a bad investment for a piece of equipment!

The guy responsible for this was scolded harshly.

We're bringing this in line with what was actually expected...

And we're going to experiment with "speed zoom", by making everything work faster x2 times.

This is going to be active from each Friday evening to Monday morning (UTC).

The yields for everything are NOT halved during this time, so it's essentially double earnings.

Please, please, report anything that goes wrong. We have been testing this for quite some time, but we probably still missed a lot.
