Site Update
Congratulations! You did it!
1,770,000,000 BP Sunk in 6 HOURS!
You unlocked all the BP Sink tiers and now have access to all the bases available for the Mineral Crystal! The new bonus SCC bases will be added to the Knowledge Base when the article is updated sometime tomorrow.
In the meantime, enjoy the bases that were unlocked and have fun coloring them! And hopefully this event has helped drain a lot of the BP out of the economy and stabilized some of the prices.
The Mineral Crystal has been put into the BP Shop for a slightly higher price. You may buy this item until April 1, in which it will be removed. The custom maker can be used indefinitely.

"J.A.K. (#15) could you make it possible for the people that donated 1mil bp or more but not the 3mil have a way to put that down on the one in the shop?"
I think if ANY of us donated we should be allowed to get it at the set price of 3mil

That's why I'm saying if any of us donated. Not just those at a certain marker. Because I thought we'd have time to keep adding.

(ok. I wrote a lot. But a few things really bothered me (started with just one thing.. but a number of things occurred to me when I was just writing the one thing. oops? and I put spaces so if this comes as one big chunk, I will cry. lol)
I usually wouldn't mind a higher price. I had a shot to put BP in, but I didn't have enough and didn't feel like hustling to fail (which in the end would have been the result lol). But I'd kinda think it should have been open for a full 24 hours to make it a more reasonable decision. There are people who had to work or were asleep and that is why they missed it. They never even had a shot at the 3M price. I know the time zones that would include most of the users have probably made it so many could at least have the shot if they had the BP on hand. But that is just a guess that most people had a shot (and because it filled up so dang fast lol).
I'm like 99.9% sure there will be some people awakening or logging into an unpleasant surprise. And that bothers me a little. I feel like I wish I could have given someone else the time I had, because in the end I didn't bother even trying due to being paranoid this very thing would happen.
I probably feel the worst for the people who were like "put some in now, put in the rest as I get it", only to be shut down before getting just one mineral. That was a fear that prevented me from doing such. So yeah. I'm not personally pressed for the item though I might try to earn the BP for one. But I feel bad for others who might be disappointed/upset as I'd feel it would be rightfully so. Sleep. Work. School. All necessities in life at some point.
And to see people upset for missing due to work at least so far is saddening to me as I'd love for more of a job than I have currently. which sucks and is part-time. But more importantly, I find lack of consideration for people to have lives irl make it so people might make poor decisions in the future, which I 've seen play on in many sites. People should be able to play a game and not have to keep an eye on it 24/7. And having to pay an extra 1 M is like adding salt to wound to people who missed out for viable reasons. And it is like giving a better price to people who can afford it and a crappier price for people who couldn't (or didn't have a choice in the end).
I'm not saying undo this right now or lessen the price or else. I'm just hoping things like this will be considered more in the fututre. Or people would be able to at least have their questions answered during the event. Many people asked when will the event end? And the answer was probably longer than it would take to get 1 Billion GP. which was an uncertain answer, and while true, 1 B or th e end result of 1.75ish B would have made little difference. I feel fortunate for deciding to not go for it in the long run.... and that is kind of a weird thought, or rather it should have been a weird thought.. ^^;;

"ya I did to but I feel the worst for the ones that put in 1 mil or more."
Sure, but then that leaves us getting jipped and left out. And ending up in the literal sense of a 'BP Sink (hole)" because all of us then just tossed usable BP into space.
Which I wouldn't mind if I didn't always try and buy the monthly BP pets, and I've still got to try and buy the pet shop pets. And that's enough of a challenge for me as is >>.

Sadly that's why people shouldn't really do little by little. Theirs no bonus if it doesn't cut off just donate when you have it all. And if their is a cut off BAM their goes your donations.
But as for paying more its not much more to be fair. See if someone with a membership can buy one for you then its really not much more then then 3 mill. Think someone said the math comes to 3.24M. only 240,000 more. Much better then them not putting it in the shop at all to be fair when users could charge anything they wanted
Specially if they put it in the shop for 3 mill then members could haggle it down close to 2 mill and it would jip off everyone who already donated.

Impressive! Wish I could scrounge up enough for one more crystal right now, though I should be able to since it ends April first. :D
