i like the idea of 300 minutes, if i dont use them great, but if i get caught up in a conversation... or a ticklefight, or anything, i burn through those minutes. i rarely use all 200, but the extra leeway would be nice.

If it ain't broke don't fix it, if you're going through 200 minutes like there's no tomorrow perhaps you should think about more effectively using them. Back out of some massive conversation which can wait till later, make effective use and stop wasting time.

Dammit, i don't really want to read this thread to find my answer cuz i'm lazy but why for one day were we given 300 minutes? Life was good then.....but you people made it on the worst day, i wasn't here to waste all of it and there was nothing going on. Yeah, it seems like i want more minutes now.

I am one who often runs out of minutes, on a daily basis. Yes, I have a problem with having to check my char's constantly for new activity, and I have quite a few important char's that take a lot of time. But the main reason is the conversations/rp some of them get into on a daily basis. Some days, just 20 extra minutes would be so nice. I would like to see the minutes raised by just a little bit, perhaps to 230 or 250. Just to give some of us a leeway, and to shut us up. :P
If you're going through hell...........keep going!

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm at work on a Saturday night, guess I'll have to find other things, besides work, to take up my time. I'll have to use my minutes more wisely in the future.

Some people in this game don't use all of their minutes. Soo we should be allowed to use the minutes for them.

I disagree. Everyone should get the same allowance, and that is all they should get. 200 minutes seems about right; only once have I ran out, and I was very busy IC that day.

Although, maybe it shouldnt be done by time. Maybe by the number of things a player did? Number of actions, maybe? Number of page loads? The time thing is a little prejudiced against those with slower connections. (note: doesnt include me, but its still a point.)

page loads, slow Cantr, messed up DSL.... all those things suck away minutes, we all deal with them we all run out of minutes sometimes

I actually dont mind having 200 minutes, but the extra would be niiiice.

Click counts would be better than minutes for users.

Although minutes encourage going away when the server is busy. Minutes however encourage excessive logging off and back on and more clicks.

Hmmmmmmmm.

What I want to know is, why we have a time limit at all? I think that it is unnescasary.

I think the 200 minutes is a good thing. I think Jos and the programmers are all doing us players a big favor by stopping us from wasting away on this highly addictive game.

Don't get me wrong, I think Cantr is wonderful, and occasionally I manage to run out of minutes myself, seeing as my characters tend to be really mouthy and won't shut up, (like myself sometimes. :wink: ) but at least the limit forces me to reign myself in and be more efficient with my time. If this makes us play favorites with our own characters (who gets the most attention(love)) then so be it.

All of us need to scamper away from the midnight glow of our computer screens and catch some sun, get some excercise, plan actual town take-overs, ect. I think the 200 minute time limit helps us accomplish these things.

Thank you 200 minute time limit. You complete me.
