As per latest build notes: http://www.cardhunter.com/forum/threads/build-notes-15-jan.582/, gold was supposed to be charged for recruiting. Had 10 gold, I just recruited another char...no change to my gold, bug ?
I believe Jon has it set up so your first 3 characters recruited after the change are free. For people with existing characters, that ends up meaning your next 3 characters are free. Now, if you recruit 3 more and it still doesn't charge you, we have a bug.
I had 8 chars before this bug post. Recruited the dwarf wizard, was expecting something to deduct from somewhere....nada... edit: So I need to recruit until 12 before it deducts ?
That sounds right. Since you started with 8, your 9th, 10th, and 11th should be free before it starts to charge you.
nope, just did a dwarf warrior recruit...immediately deducted 10 gold. And now I have a new bug edit: the dwarf warrior was number 10
ok, instead of another bug post...can someone else confirm that it is possible to recruit another char with a name EXACTLY the same as one in your existing party ? I have 2 dwarf warriors with the same name now
I just checked our server logs, and it looks like you did pick up 3 free characters since the update went in: an Elven Warrior and a Human Priest (around 30 hours ago), and your new Dwarven Wizard. And then you were charged for the Dwarven Warrior. Does that sound right? I'd bet with the first two you didn't realize we'd pushed out the new build yet. And yes, there is no requirement that your character names be unique right now, even within your own collection.
Yeah, so the way I implemented the three free characters is three MORE than you currently have, so those who've been playing for a while will end up a with a few extra freebies.
