The Merchant in XNova will now be taking a 30% cut on all transactions, so watch your trades closely or you'll end up broke! Just letting everyone know this is not a bug but a feature that I have programed into the game myself to basically screw over players that are solely farming Deuterium and relying heavily on the merchant to gain all the resources with straight across transactions. In my opinion straight across transactions lower the enjoyment of the game by allowing sloppy trades to be easily corrected and by making the game more unrealistic in the sense the merchant is basically your grandfather who swaps you resources because he loves you and never takes a cut, which is bullshit! As always tho these games are hosted for you the players and if you guys don't agree with this simply start a poll or post your disgust either on the forum or comment on this news post.

I will be working on any bugs that are brought to my attention. If you find a bug please post it on our Forum under Erwin Games XNova with "BUG:" in the front of the topic title. I will organize the XNova forum later to include a dedicated area for posting bugs and exploits etc. I have already solved many of the issues that plagued us on the previous edition of XNova like the raid points exploit.

One last thing I'd like to say is it's really nice to see so many of you playing XNova already. It's also cool to see a lot of players who used to play on the old XNova returning so welcome back you maggots! It would be nice to hear any feed back you have on this rendition verse the old and of course any input you have on what could make the game more enjoyable. If you would like to message me directly use the Message function on the site found on the left hand menu or catch me in the live chat.

If anyone is wondering I am playing as meatroid on XNova, but don't let that stop you from raiding me you scoundrels!
