Q, I hope you don't find this offensive. Gripes should be worded more softly, especially if you want the handlers of the game to address it. Attitude is everything.
I'm not starting another fight with you, I think you are an ok guy. But I just don't want to see you say something the wrong way.

Well, there's nothing to handle here, nothing to address.
Its a matter of letting everyone be aware of the change.
This change was made to further reduce cash.

I thought that was a change. I thought I was going crazy when I tried to do 75B and it would not let me. Thanks for clearing it up.

So new IPO's have been shut down, essentially.
Are we to mass order materials to get assets above 100mil? Auto profit transfer kills the ability to accumulate the required cash in state corps.
sigh.
I have never seen an organization so determined to piss off its customers.

Who cares, Stuart? Limits to game changes at a sensible pace is hardly an unreasonable request.
Required Asset Value for IPO's should have been simultaneously reduced. Unless, the share market is now evil as well.
Unannounced major game changes have been a long player complaint.
Do you want to manually order supplies for your corporations just to get them to IPO? I don't.

This is starting to get ridiculous, I cant even IPO my corporations no more via adding cash to the corporations. If anyone know a way around that, it would be appreciated.

Looks like stockpiling supplies will have to do, Warren.

Massively stockpiling supplies, you mean. And for some corporations, it STILL won't work!
Stuart, read my 2nd post in this thread.
I'm not asking for any situations to be resolved. I'm merely pointing out an "unannounced" game change. There's nothing here I need handled at all.
This is something which we have to suck up and adjust to.

So it has.
This is indeed disconcerting. These changes ought to at least be made mention of so that players can keep track of what is new... Stealth changes further outdate the documentation, but moreover undermine the knowledge of the player base which is instrumental in getting new players set up and standing on both feet.
Finally, I really think W3 needs to change the parameters of IPOing, and list what they have changed to.
I have state corps I need to take public and turn into CCPCs, dagnabbit!
EDIT: I just emailed W3, although I'm sure some others probably have as well.
Here's to hoping for a timely reply

Stockpiling supplies will add so much unneccesary time just to IPO one corporation. Changes have to be made.

I think that the new max cash today is 50B.
Here is the work around that I have started. I started a 2nd CEO that can bid on the corps, allow the cash to build up, then IPO to main CEO.

I'm to understand that they want to reduce the amount of cash you can "build up". It will (or has already started to) be lowered from the current 200B.
The following is for those who missed the last chat with Jozi regarding game cash.
[Jozi] "some is hidden in corporations for now but the idea is that it will continue to go down".

Lowering max cash in a corp is one thing. They didn't need to make it even harder to IPO a corp tho. It'd be nice if they lowered the IPO thresholds to go along with this change.

I got the cash in a plutonium corporation over 100B buy first raising the cash to 50 and then buying the stored plutonium. Of course that wouldn't help with IPOs but it can be done.
You can boost the stockpiles of all your corps at once. There is no reason to do it one at a time.

Hey, now there's an idea. Turn off auto offer product, let a few months' stockpile build up. Should be able to accumulate 30-40T this way in product fairly easily for an upgraded corp.
Inject cash to 50B. Sell product to your CEO (so the CEO can turn around and sell it on the market without having Q diluted by 100Q country supplies).
50B cash+30B plus turnover stored for a single month+20B corp supplies=IPO.
And it's somewhat easier than having to manually finangle with a corp's supply levels to get the required cash in. Requires more patience for MV, though.
