No UE for me

Ok, I bugged this, xhelped, etc.

To my knowledge, UE is assigned at 12/3/6/9am, and 12/3/6/9 pm. Correct? You also get no more then three per day, gotta be logged an hour for each, yadda yadda.

Ok, So I log in at about 6:15 yesterday morning. Ran around and played till around 9 something. Checked my @stats, and to my suprise, no UE point. Ok, that's fine I thought, no big deal. So I log off, come back around 11 ish, play a little past 12, no Ue, logg off a little later, came back around 3 and 6 just to see if it would give me any, and I got none on each attempt.

So I logged in around 8 ish today, here it is like 9:20, no UE.

Now, I know what you're all about to tell me. UE isn't important blah blah blah. I get that. I just don't see it fair that Other players get UE for playing, and I'm not.

Actually, I'm not getting any either. Strange, because Wednesday, I swear I got like 5 or 6.

Heh, ok, So it isn't just me. That's good to hear…I think...?

First: it's not important! :)

No, but correct me if I'm worng but there's more to it than that. I'm not an admin, but I'm almost certain that theres not spcific times that they issue UE unless somethings changed because I get it all over the place.

I'm perfectly willing to let you all think what you want about when you get your UE, but I wanted to let you know I've been watching this problem since it was first reported yesterday morning.

I'm not sure when it happened, but a traceback occured in the experience system at somepoint tuesday night - wednesday morning and the whole thing came to a stop. I didn't discover this until late wednesday evening after having checked on the experience information of the reporting player throughout the day at periodic intervals.

I have modified the experience code to be more robust against tracebacks and added stuff to notify the staff. The experience system has worked so well for 2 1/2 years that we didn't have a reason to even list the code, so we didn't notice how janky it was. It's all better now and I'm giving you all 10 UE (don't call me a nice guy) to say I'm sorry for letting it screw up in the first place.

I submitted a @bug for having 4.99999999981071e-05 UE to assign to my stats and skills. Since I know you guys wade through oceans of @bugs I think I should mention this here while the topic of buggy UE is spring time fresh.

I had that happen to me once too. It has to do with the negative -093845 or something, because its describing a really long number.. or something.

It's an exponent for a really small number because you've spent all kinds of wierd diecimal numbers of UE and are left with this odd number.

4.99999999981071e-05 = 4.99999999981071 x 10^-5

eX means times ten to the power of X

or 0.0000499999999981071 UE

pretty low number.
