Goldmining is causing the lag, and must stop

[sunsprite]

Other people have mentioned you don't get the crafting items from the black market bags if we already have the max amount of them so i was planning on clicking on a bunch of crystalwings to stock up on materials but i kind of don't want to do that if mass clicking them is just going to end up getting me flagged for goldmining or if i would be safe say opening like 20-30 at a time regardless of if they are adult creatures or not

im kind of wondering this too
i came back from a hiatus and discovered crafting/getting parentless pygmy dragons recently and i was mining in someones keep that allowed me to (it was only like at most 50 pages at once and it wasnt for gold or anything, just the crafting items) but i stopped because these are adult creatures and i dont wanna get banned off the site or anything lol

just wanted to know if this case scenario was allowed or not? or at least a bit more elaboration that its allowed cause i was skimming the thread a bit and i want to be cautious whether or not what im doing is bad

maybe i could open less links at once like <30?

You get them from eggs and hatchlings too I think. You can also refresh their bestiary page to get the crafting materials, that way you do not click tons of adults and can still fairly easily max out the items.

oh wow i didnt know about that, thank you!

Does anyone think that the recent lag was due to someone goldmining again?

Hi!
I just came back after a 3 year long hiatus and before I get myself banned
I was wondering if going to the reindeer games and clicking peoples egg (in the three threads)
will get me banned as well? My native language isn't English and I have a hard time understanding what is allowed
and what is not..

If someone could help me not get banned that'd be great xD thanks!

Hello CrashingCyclone,
clicking eggs/hatchlings in the reindeer games, in signatures, and also on the image free nursery is perfectly fine.

Typical "gold mining" means clicking hundreds and thousands adults in a semi automated way, which caused problems for the magistream server. However, clicking adults does not give any gold anymore (Announcement in the newsletter).

Hi Kunigund! Thanks for the reply,
So I can click away as long as it's eggs or hatchlings?
I didn't even think the sites were allowed, so as of now they are again?

[kunigund]

Yes, clicking eggs & hatchlings is fine.

Not sure what you man by "I didn't even think the sites were allowed". Rosehill said that "Snaplinks in IFN and click threads is still ok." (link to Rosehill post) and as far as I know this has not changed since then.
Regarding signatures - it is allowed to have clickable eggs/hatchlings there and the only purpose I can think of is to get clicks. Some users simply refer to their signatures in the click threads.

[CrashingCyclone]

I don't know what snaplinks and IFN means so I guess that's where the confusion started to begin with.

[kunigund]

Oh, I apologize for not explaining in more detail.

IFN is the image free nursery, a hatching & growing site that was created by Rosehill. You can add your critters and other users will click them. The site has also a few other useful features in the "MS Code Tools", for example the lineage tools to check bred critters or potential mates for inbreeding or the length of their lineage.

Snaplinks (and other similar tools) is an additional tool (add-on) to the internet browser that allows opening several links at once without clicking them individually.

oh okay, thanks for the explanation ^^
I got it now!

Thanks again!

I am still fairly new here since 2022 ish, and experienced a lot of lagging and all that from goldmining, and I still experience it sometimes even this week.

I definitely suggest minigames like others has suggest that, and personally I would rather keep making gold off clicking eggs, but to daily limit is ideal, so the goldminers cannot continue all day to cause lag issues to the website, so theres daily limit to egg clicking as long as other ways to earn gold rather than clicking/posting.

I've been part of PonyIsland and GaiaOnline for years, and the ways of earning gold are daily log ins, daily reward if you log in daily you earn gold, and maybe some special prizes/eggs for log x of days... like 20 days, 30/31 days you get egg, or some sort, which will encourage people log in to earn that as well.

Mini games as in jigsaw of the art that were created on this site, art contests, fishing in the Magi Stream itself to fish up gold or items, or even eggs.

Maybe consider drop limit of eggs if limit to amount of clicks per day for us who spend clicking away so we can collect more?

Just ideas to throw out there.

Looking forward to see all of the improvements when you guys get around to it.
