questions

Hey, returning to the game after some time. The last account I had I don't remember having to wait on a stars purchase. I just purchased some stars today, but they don't appear on my account.

Is it normal for it to take some time to appear now?

Yes, normal.

Won't be long. But if Ender is busy or something it could potentially be later in the evening or something. May be almost automatic... but I would tend to believe it very likely would at least be a few hours or something if purchasing.

You're good. Won't be long;. just not automatic.

Yep, it's not automated so have to wait until Ender hands them out, can take a couple of hours depending on what he is doing.

Thank you,

I didn't realize he did that manually. Must be a coincidence that last time it was virtually instant

Fine, I'll be the first one to say it.

Welcome back!

I hope you enjoy your stay and hopefully you can find some residence here again. There's tons of people to reach out to if you have questions so don't ever shy away from asking!

Thanks for the extremely generous donation, and welcome back! We're happy to have you return. :)

What others said is right. I actually did once have an automated integration with PayPal where you would instantly receive stars, but that broke a long time ago. I keep meaning to go back and fix it, but in the meantime, I do give stars out manually. It's usually within an hour or two, but can be slower if I'm sleeping, stuck in meetings, etc.

Seems Ender listened here and made it all intant.

No more waiting for any purchased stars.

Also seemed you can use Venmo instead of PayPal now, if you were so inclined.

...and, personally, I'm kinda just happy not to be bothered anymore by that link that was supposed to return you back to bots at end... but never did.

Small QoL improvements.

Cheers! Yeah, I finally updated the game's PayPal integration. Modernizing it also came with some nice freebies like Venmo. I always felt bad when people buy stars while I was sleeping and stuff and would have to wait longer. Plus it saves me time to not have to give them out manually every time. Win-win all around!
