Tycoon Zone

What’s new in January 2008?

A new round of the Tycoon Online business simulation game starts on January 20, 2008, at 16:00 game time (Central European Time). That’s 10AM if you’re in the USA on the East Coast.

Here are the changes for the new round:

• Share price calculation has changed. The new share price calculation replaces the number of spots you climb or fall in C-Rank with your percentage gain or decline in C-Rank. This means bigger share price changes for high ranked players, and smaller changes for low ranked players.
• Stockpile accumulation has changed. If part of your dividend goes unpaid, the unpaid part carries over in your stockpile for the following week. This mostly affects players who have not yet sold all of their shares to other players. Maximum carryover is 50,000 iKr.
• Better transport information. More detailed information is displayed on the transport summary page. Also, you can now see the average queue time when selecting a city to send your transport to.
• Better staff “Building Assigned To” listing. Attribute points and production points are now included on this page to make it easier to decide how to arrange your staff.
• If you become Today’s TO-Player, donations will be collected and then given to you in one lump sum at the end of the day.
• No more version 1.5. Since I tend to introduce at least a few changes every round, I am no longer using version numbers for the game. This round will be called “Round 1 of 2008.”

Good luck everyone!
