Events

Server Events
- Added a new search event location: Rublux HQ
  - Highest search command coin rewards yet (don't forget your coin multis!)
  - Has a small chance at some fun loot boxes and high value lootboxes
Channel Events
- Many channel events have had their coin rewards massively increased, as well as some added item variety
- The cap on dead or low traffic servers and being able to spawn events has moved from 90 minutes to well over 8 hours.
  - After borderline tos breaking levels of abuse with users mass creating servers, we need to disincentivize people making empty servers to farm events as fast as possible.
- On the other hand, mid to high traffic servers should see faster spawns all around! In some cases, twice as fast as before.
- Winning a channel event now gives a guaranteed massive 5 base xp, which is higher than the previous max of a 1% chance to get 3 base xp on every command. Speaking of xp...

XP and Leveling

We are experimenting with disincentivizing spam slowly, while incentivizing other ways to earn xp
- This will be a slow process across multiple months, to not tap the glass on the xp farming fishies in our userbase aquarium
The chance to get 2 base xp has been reduced from 10% to 2%, with all the extra chance being given to 1 base xp
Added multiple NEW sources of xp gain:
- Pets returning from fetching (0-3 base xp)
- Winning a channel random event (guaranteed 5 base xp)
- Voting & Freemium (guaranteed 15 base xp)
- Completing a daily quest (guaranteed 5 base xp)
- Completing a weekly quest (guaranteed 25 base xp)
- Losing an item to a black hole (guaranteed 5 base xp)
- Completing an achievement (guaranteed 25 base xp)
- Streaming interactions (all 3 types) (guaranteed 4 base xp)
- Finishing an adventure successfully (3 base xp + 1 base xp per 5 adventure nodes completed)
- Finishing an adventure by dying (0-3 base xp)
- Joining a server or hostile bankrob:
  - Getting a payout (10 base xp)
  - Dying (1 base xp)
  - Getting fined (0-3 base xp)
- Claiming your daily coins (10 base xp)
Changed multiple xp source values:
- If you lose when gambling in roulette, snakeeyes, and slots, your chance to get any xp is reduced from 60% to 20%
- Succeeding in a work minigame: 3 base xp -> 5 base xp + 2 more base xp per 10 promotions in that job (max of 9 base xp)
- Scratch command: 0-3 base xp -> 3 base xp multiplied by successfully scratched rewards (max of 9 base xp)
And yes, "base xp" means before your insane thousand, hundreds of thousands, and higher, xp multipliers. Previous max was always 3 and only given super rarely, about 1% of the time you got xp.

Balancing

Buffed simple fishing coins slightly
Buffed a few postmemes platforms slightly
