Dayum I wish I started playing earlier so I could have got in on some of this action!
 
OK, a tip for newcomers:

I was calculating what was the cost of the mhz/kbps to find the correct order in which to buy the processors/connections.

There are six types of processors (it's the same for attack...); I found that the optimal way to buy is (from left to right):

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0...0...0...0...0...1...1..1...1...1...2
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1...1...1...1...2...2...2..2...2...3...3
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3...3...3...4...4...4...4..4...5...5...5
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5...5...6...6...6...6...6..7...7...7...7
0 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 7...8...8...8...8...8...8..9...9...9...9
1 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 8 8 8 8 9 9 9 9 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 11 11 11 11 11

I calculated this on an excel chart, I guess it continues with the same pattern later.

This way you'll obtain the most mhz/kbps for your money.

Edit:
Damn, my pattern was broken =P; you can see it right at the end; still the pattern I'm publishing is the right one.

Good stuff. Are you accounting for the 2%(there is a small margin of error, but from what I can tell it's close enough) increase in buy price each time you purchase?

I would make an equation that gives the total sum based on an n amount, that way you can also figure out your sell back (be the equations sum * .75). Maybe tomorrow if I'm bored.

It's sad that, despite raising my bandwidth rank by 60 and my Mhz rank by ~30 my overall rank is identical.

You have lvl 8 virus already? If not thats probably why your not moving, having a higher virus level trumps anything else no matter what your kbs or mhz are ranked.

There's not an equation there, it's all real data; every time I upgrade, I check the mhz/$; no error there...
 
Top 3 guys we can do it...:lol

LUELinks like any other browser based game they play...they might come in strong but they eventually die off due to boredom...

WhatCD, ThreeInches and ATOT are the real active lot!

I thought it only upped the price per time you bought one of the equipment.

Code: 
ADSL	1500kbps	9	21,516
ADSL2	8000kbps	0	92,000

Like shown here. I have many ADSL but no ADSL2 and ADSL2 is stil original price.

I found out for every 6-7 of the ADSL lines, you can sell those and get a ADSL2 line. Unfortunately, that only works for the first 2 ADSL2 lines you buy. After that, the price jumps by a few grand.
 
but if sellback is 75%, original price 18,000 for number 10 it's 21,516, meaning I payed under 20k average, you're still gonna have to buy a lot more than 7 to make a profit selling back and buying ADSL2.

Im not worried about making a profit, as you wont be able to, unless you have a really high vault level, where you can buy 4-5 adsl2/quad xeons at a time, then turn back around and sell those.
 
if you can sell five 1.5s to buy an 8 you are gaining in bandwidth. I wouldn't go out of my way to upscale the connections if there is no profit though. Hell I occasionally buy a bunch of lower ones because it is cheaper to grab six 1.5s than one 8
 
Going onto the game for the first time today I found 1.5 million resting in my account! Getting the level 8 virus was as simple as selling a few mhz and kbps.
 
level 8 virus... the last virus upgrade =(
512 connection / tick... i went to sleep with almost 0 credit last night woke up with 1.2 million.
i'll be out most of the day and i'd imagine that i'd be start ticking 150k credit / tick really soon. no way vault will be able to protect this, the best thing will still be upgrade defense, you can forget about attack, protecting your 150k / tick is way more important, and a few hours later it'll be 200k/tick, 2-3 days later, 1 million credit / tick
 
My friend spoke of a friend that he called "like uplink 2 but I think it went by another name". I've been told about uplink and it seems a lot like Hackcess. Apparently this game was a command-shell based sort of follow-up and it sounded really sexy. Anyone know what this might've been? I'm starting concieving things about this game that would make it even more fun. Balancing issues and random chance and such. And hackable NPCs or somesuch.

Maybe we should just make a new game from scratch, GAF? I've got server-power and bandwidth for internal testing, at least. We could use Ajax and PHP for an efficient use of bandwidth. Would be a fun project.

Well maybe we should come up with a list of features to implement. I think it would be good to make the game kind of inbetween Hackcess and Slavehack, yet nowhere near as hardcore as Slavehack. ie. I don't want to be clearing logs every 2 minutes.
