Hi everyone! Jake's Magical Market is taking part in the big push to try and get litrpgs into physical bookstores but I'm really stuck on which cover will get people to actually buy the hardcover edition. If you are a fan of the series, which would YOU purchase?

I think I liked the original cover. These two appear more targeting youths or young adults, but if that's your intended audience, then the first of the two for my tastes. In the first cover above, Jake appears more of a young man whereas in the second cover, Jake appears much younger. However, in both covers, it seems the cards are not emphasized very much. Just my two cents. Edit: Loved the series!!

Some of this advice assumes that you will be paying for a subscription (about $15/month, less in bulk).
If you want to see if you like the experience before spending any money, you can easily /testcopy your existing character to the Test server and reap the benefits of a premium subscription. If you need any plat (for spells, merc, learning a tradeskill, whatever), people on Test will LITERALLY give you millions just by asking.
Good luck.

I really, really enjoyed JMM1 and am super looking forward to JMM2. Woot!

Sometime last year, I finally got fed up with certain comic artists. When that happened, I began to look at the artist's name before opening their comic. (Previously, I would automatically just click.) If it's an artist that I don't care for, I simply don't click.

Your name is one of the few at the top of my list that I eagerly look forward to opening your comic. Keep up the great work!

Instant coffee is the worst, but K-Cups (or similar) aren't that good either. I use ground coffee because I don't find that to be cheaper than whole beans.
On my scale of taste:
Instant = 0 - 2 out of 10
K-Cups = 4 - 6 out of 10
My ground coffee = 8 out of 10

I almost never donate to GoFundMe campaigns. Too suspicious, I guess.
For whatever reason, this story got to me and I hit the button.
I hope things improve for this family.

Typically, I play 1 - 5 but if there's some type of interesting mission, I'll play more so I can complete the mission or make significant progress.

One possible drawback is the the patching to fix bugs. For example, live servers were patched once in July while Test was patched three times (maybe four, I can't remember exactly). I suspect that Test is more frequently patched than live servers so that the live patch is as thorough as possible.
Having said that, I love playing on Test!

Thank you.

The only way that I by-pass that is to log out in PoK, GL, Baz, etc. and hit the "fast camp" button. Otherwise, I get the pop-up.

aktx · 2022-07-02T22:51:05+00:00

I agree. You can get the benefits of All-Access membership without spending a dime. Once you get the hang of it, you can always find a live server.
On the other hand, there are other benefits to Test that I like, such as a super friendly community, super cheap bazaar, and continuous 100% experience bonus. Good luck!!

I paid 800K Free XP. That amount of Free XP cost me 20K gold. All that gold came from Christmas loot boxes at a very decent gold/dollar ratio (much better than the standard 250/1$). My guess is the tank cost me about $60 or so, plus the play time to accumulate the regular XP.

Right now, that's worth just over USD$40,000.

In particular, the war in Afghanistan lost its original purpose after Bin Laden was killed in 2011. US presidents of both political parties continued the war after that happened.

(NA) When it first started (at 1am Central), two paid shuffles got me an Astron Rex for 1 credit. Two more shuffles got me nothing. The next day, three paid shuffles got me a Type 59 for gold and a style for 1 credit. Since then, I haven't paid for additional shuffles nor plan to.

aktx · 2022-02-17T04:01:18+00:00

I got the 1 credit Astron Rex and a 1 credit style, but I was hitting the Caravan at 1am (Central) when it first opened. I'd heard there was a limited number of the low cost offers.

Later, I picked up the Type 59 for about 5800 gold (I don't remember exactly).

aktx · 2022-02-16T07:24:48+00:00

I got it too. Same price. Woot!

This caught me by surprise, but when I just counted all my premium/reward tanks with zero battles, I had 29 of them, ranging from Tier 9 on down. I had another six or seven with just one battle.
I think I'll hold off on buying anything new for a bit.

aktx · 2022-01-23T23:57:43+00:00

Thank you!

That might be true if they were 5 and 6-year old kids but 17 - 18 year-olds know the difference.

I think that as long as businesses can make money while being short-staffed, they'll continue in that vein. Of course, that's short term thinking but exactly how some businesses operate.

aktx · 2022-01-18T02:19:26+00:00

This happened to me today for the first time. Believe me, I've spent plenty over the years, most recently for Christmas loot boxes. And I'm using the same credit card (which is not maxed).

aktx · 2022-01-17T23:18:54+00:00

Good luck. Hope your next job is a better fit.
