Does buying a booster no longer extend the country registration by 1 day per boost? I just bought a war spending space booster and there was no message to say that the registration was extended to X date. Has this feature been removed?

No
not removed.

The message is confusing for most players who have "New style" accounts (last 4 or 5 years).

Hi Andy.

I have bought many boosters in the past and it always said after I purchased. "Your country has been extended to whichever date. Usually 1 day extra past the previous expiration date. Or 5 days, or 25 days.

Just tested it again on a 3 corp per month boost. This is the message before purchase.

"Boost Corporation Constructions

For 1 GC you can construct 3 corporations per game month in Mayhem on FB.
The booster is valid for 5 game months.

You have 118.00 Gold Coins in your account"

And after I pay for the boost where it previously always said the registration extention had taken place. I have this.

"Corporation Constructions in Mayhem on FB increased to 13 game month(s"

No mention of registration being extended?

I dont know if it's stil true, but in the past there was a hardcap on extending Empires/CEOs that way and this was that you can only extend those entities to a max of 90 days from today, no matter how long your main entity is registered.

Next time I buy a booster I will actually check when the registration expires so I know for sure if it worked. My country only has about 30 days reg so its not a cap.

I can confirm that the boosters are still extending the membership but the message has disappeared which lets you know the extension has taken place. Andy can you take a look into it pls so we don't have to keep manually checking every time we buy a booster?

Just a sec I need to know something here. I was under the impression that you could no longer extend your membership buy spending gc in your main i'd be happy to boost if I received an extra day. What is the current situation?

It still works. Just the message has disappeared. It went away after the last update for me. Maybe different for others. You should check it yourself. Look when you're set to expire then use the booster. See if it gave you another day.

It doesn't offer me any extensions for buying boosters. It used to offer a day, but the text has been removed from all aspects of the booster screens.

BUT, it did give me a day when i tested it out. FYI

Any word on what's happened to the extension message Andy? I hope it's not been removed with the idea of fading it out eventually?

Read the black writing underneath the link for each booster. It tells you all you need to know.

Well you could have made your first post clearer and I would have told you.

Using the booster doesn't give you the cash. It ups the amount your allowed to spend in your country. Without the boost you can buy 350B of military equipment. With a boost you can place an order worth for 700B.

Same goes for country spending. Boosting allows you to place an order twice that of normal. It doesn't give you the cash to place the order.

Yeah new players don't have a need for those 2 boosters.

Build 3 corps per month is a good boost when your just starting out. Especially if your buying population. You can grow your economy much faster. Don't go crazy though. Always make sure to have enough available workers when build 3 corps per month.

Usually buying 1 million pop has enough workers to build 3 to 5 corps.

I've been using them heavily for the past few months (since it stopped informing you about the extension) and I've gotten every extension.
