Bank CDs have been tweaked to address the inflation of BP caused by the amount of return coming from CDs. Hopefully you will all find these changes fair.
1. The original 7-day CD was changed into a 14-day CD, and its return changed to 2%
2. The 30-day CD's return was changed to 6%
3. The max one can invest into the top three CDs is now 50,000,000 BP
4. A new CD was added, 7-day, with a 5% return rate and a max investment of 1,000,000.
5. The largest CD, the 90-day CD, did not have its return rate changed, but rather the others were changed to scale according to it.
The GP CDs were not changed.

The whole "poor get poorer" meme is a disparity in this case. With the old numbers, the rich only got richer anyway. This change attempted to stave that off, and has the side effect of giving the poor a harder time.

I'm bummed about the CD changes...I was finally getting a leg up. I'm wondering when the savings account rate will go up now that I'll be putting most of my cash in there now. :/

Can't say i'm happy about the change, its really not worth putting any money in the CDs now. I really don't see 50K a week (the only 7 day CD) being much benefit to even a newbie, since you could make that playing several flash games. I guess i'm just not really onboard with the idea of saving the economy by effectively removing CDs. A big heap of this will be because I did benefit from using them, I don't have that much time to click around and personally I can't play the flash games (they tend to bug out on me and glitch). Stopped playing slots and bones the moment the captcha feature was placed in. Only real option I have now is exploring (for the little time I have in the day) or trying to get all the new ingredients for cooking. Fantastic. I don't usually have big problems with things that change on the site but I just see this raising GP prices, not reducing them.

I won't be using this anymore. :( I'm quite sad about this. One feature on the site that I really like....gone into the abyss of bad decisions. Hmm maybe it will change back one day.
