We wanted to give up a heads up that we are going to be putting the Corp Wallet withdraw system through its paces in a new experimental corp called Xer Cloud Constortium.

All members of the corporation have director privledges and open access to the wallet, thus creating an environment where people may rapidly and frequently compete to 'steal' the wallet's contents in a short span of time. We want to prepare for the possibility of concurrent withdraw requests and the impact that may have upon the system.

Do you have a time dialation system for the wallet? Lol

Thank you for you time and consideration.

I want to thank people like you who take initiative to test game mechanics integrity by pushing it to its limits (in this case, the large span of unique requests on a wallet; this should test those supercomputer servers they have for Dust 514). It's good that we test things like this before a critical event in the future may prove fatal -- where here, if an error is found, it's not going to be a catastrophe, since the wallet being emptied is practically for fun (i.e.: not too important).

This is good testing of the mechanics of the game, and I hope that more people do things such as this (I also know that there are a lot of underground establishments amongst the players that are also harboring some sort of activity that may push the limits of the game mechanics... or even politics).

We agreed that we might as well be open about this experiment. I might take a little while to fully bring to fruition with this corp at least because I can only currently cover about 40 mercs with my current skills. I plan to boost that up considerably with the tripple SP weekend. [sig=hex.dec]4d7920313333372048617830727a2078706c6f747a20522058706f7364206259206c766c2035204330646562386b727a[/sig]

I don't think we need to expand that quickly. The initial focus of XerCC corp development is to filter out non-active, non contributing members in order to keep members who run matches on matches on matches. Initially a lot of people are going to be throwing their forgettable alts at the corp. We need a good week to two weeks before any major expansion.

CCP would never let you keep free isk gained that way. Just saying. Let's see how things run on a small scale a build up progressively with that.

Jadek Menaheim Xer Cloud Consortium 207	Posted - 2013.11.07 04:46:00 - [10] - Quote Well, I've identified one glaring hiccup in how the wallet system works. The corp wallet does not update and remain current with 'your' taxes after any number of battles fought during 'your' play session. You must exit the game and re-log in for the changes to be visible to you, thus making any withdraws valid. However, it appears any other player with access to the corp wallet can withdraw those funds without difficultly. tldr: your screen says zero isk, anyone else sees current earnings besides their own.

We need your help to test the latency and server interaction of concurrent wallet and corp actions. Please send your applications to any member of the Xer Cloud Consortium (XERCC). Your help in this testing initiative is appreciated. [sig=hex.dec]4d7920313333372048617830727a2078706c6f747a20522058706f7364206259206c766c2035204330646562386b727a[/sig]
