Data rolled back to the state of Jan 31, 2012 due to the server crashing on Feb 1, 2012 which caused data error (resolved). We apologize for the inconvenience. All accounts will get 3 days of 'Crown of Harvest' as compensation.

1. The requests system bug has been fixed.
2. The bug of hitting one account for arbitrary times has been fixed.

1. Your honor depends on solider numbers and tech levels.
