That's a good point! Unfortunately, running a game with nearly 9 users is a little tricky. If we allow everybody to offer trades, then the game would crash within nanoseconds. Trust us, we've tried it before. The hetzner server was never created to handle up to 4 simultaneous users at once, and as a result, the backend database server simply can't handle the load of everybody trading.
Let me put it to you this way: each time somebody trades for something, the server has to go through a couple MILLION trades looking for those exact trade. It can handle a toddler trading. It can handle one person and a woman trading. It can not, unfortunately, handle a couple people trading at once. If we were to let everybody trading, there would be no game left because the database server would take its own life by throwing itself onto the autobahn.
So if you'd like to have more slots, trade, have custom images, and use various other bonus features, please upgrade to a Platinum account. It's only $9.95, around the price of a two-hour movie. We think you'll get more than two hours worth of entertainment here, and your payment will help us afford the seven servers powering the game you're using right now.
Thank you!
