    #2- personally, getting lucky on it once is enough for me. I got a mech battalion, and hey, I don't care if I get the 1k cents anymore... if I do get them, however, I'm going to delete this section of my post.
    #3- How's that ironic?
    Hi there.

    Any wheel of fortune on an electronic format is based on equations.

    Yes, I know I was stating the obvious, but it appears some didn't realize that yet.

    Also, I'm trying to get the point across that the chances are unequal, unlike they appear.

    Default Wheel luck

    I've hit two Mech Bats and 1000 cents. All after times I slowed down my playing time. Perhaps they are designed to intice you back?

    Wow... that's pretty crazy... but yes, your prize is determined as soon as you click "apply" for your amulet. I know this because you get that whenever you get a "noteworthy prize" it shows up on the general chat area before the wheel stops spinning. On a completely unrelated and ironic note, every time I put my cursor over the iron resource on the wheel (you know, when it gives you iron), the wheel has stopped on that exact tile. I thought it was kinda cool... unfortunately, it didn't carry over to the 300 evony cents the next amulet spin lol. The other thing is, you don't HAVE to buy evony $ to spin the wheel... in fact, I think that is a really stupid way to spin your cash. It's likely that what you want won't even be on the wheel to begin with.

    An ode to cookies, tho they were never free, the memory of their sweetness will always be within me.

    RIP cookies.

    I like the way you totally ignored the comment about the server 3 lag. Maybe it's because it's "off topic"? However, any posts made about server 3 lag seem to also be ignored by our Vice Development Director, so it's kinda hard to get your attention on that "on topic".

    So, any chance of fixing the server 3 lag issue?

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd have thought excessive lag on a server that renders it almost unplayable is far more of an important issue than the WOF.

    Yes, your items are predetermined when you hit apply on the amulet. Obviously it is still randomly determined based on equations, but the spin has nothing to do with it. I have won game cents a few times (always small amounts), but they show up before the wheel spins. You know the line on the wheel where is say "You Own: X" amulets, just to the right it shows your game cents and the cents show up before the wheel spins.
