BREAKING NEWS: Huge drama ... 'LANG' Power UNLIMITED!

NOTE: THE POWER HAS BEEN MADE UNLIMITED WITH NO GIVEN WARNING WHATSOEVER! 

This has got to be the weirdest thing that has ever happened on xat ... EVER!

When I came on Trade this evening , users were suddenly selling the LANG power for around 4.000 - 5.000 xats when the power used to be at the cost climaxing between 7.000 - 8.000 xats , the price being so high because hardly anybody had been selling!

I managed to buy one for 4,000 xats , not aware that it had been released. I managed to sell it for 7,000 to a user who was also not aware of the release. The user was logging in before we had traded , so why hadn't I been suspicious of this before?

I then decided to check the power store and what did I see? The power itself , released as UNLIMITED!

  
Here was an old post on my Blog that was dated a couple of months back , when the power originally released;  

It said that it was a LIMITED power but actually I had posted false info back then. It had never announced whether or not the power was going to be limited or unlimited ... we had all just assumed.

So , what's the story? 42 released the first batch of 500 LANG powers which turned out to be profitable. He then released a bunch more , but that took over 24 hours to sell out. Because of this, 42 knew that the power had no demand , and so didn't release anymore and kept it limited. There was a total of 2,000 LANG powers.

Around 1-2 months later , users had started buying the power, and it had risen quickly to 4,000 xats. From there , not many users were selling , and the power quickly increased. Users such as CYTAR , VALY and SPEED were buying a collection of LANG for a very high price.

As a conclusion to this , the power had been increased and users were buying between 7,000 - 7,500 xats and looked to be increasing further.

Because of this release and the previous extreme costs , users were going manic and attempting to sell at a variety of prices. Many users fell for this, including me, and no wonder. There wasn't a scroller or Twitter announcement at this time, so who can blame them?

The sad thing is, because of the Black Market of LANG powers at the time, many users had to buy high, and because of this unexpected release, many lost profit. Around 90% of the people who had LANG powers lost at least 3,000 xats profit which is alot at the average!

But compared to them , it was nothing when you mention about the 3 users I posted earlier, buying a collection of LANG powers.

CYTAR - Admitted on xat_test that he made a loss of 300,000 xats after buying x40 LANG powers.

VALY - Had lost around 70,000 - 80,000 xats after having around 23 , but was seen buying for 7,000 xats yesterday and earlier today. He now has 19, and has decided to keep his x200 Summers to try and hopefully reduce the loss.

SPEED - It's rumoured he has around 25 , but he has not been online yet to confirm this. He was buying for around 6,000 xats each last time users checked, but he will be distraught. That's a total of around 90,000 xats!

In total of the xats lost between the 3 of them , that's around an average of 450,000 xats , which only 30% of xat users probably has!

The price on Trade is now between 1,700 - 1,900 xats , but who really cares as users lost so much xats from this ...

Now there's got to be one final question: Why suddenly now that the LANG power becomes unlimited , with no given warning whatsoever? 

Christina had stated on the main chat of Trade that more users had wanted to assign the LANG power onto their chats , and because not many had released and the huge cost , 42 decided to release some.

This is a hypothetical hypothesis , but is most likely accurate. 

What's most likely is that MATCHRACE could end up having the same fate. I don't want to scare all of you that has it (currently 800 - 1000 xats) , but that could be the sheer reality. The power was not announced limited or unlimited, and stayed limited due to the lack of interest and currently has a small quantity. This power is much easier to afford, however, so is highly unlikely to follow suit.

Please don't vent your anger out on 42. I've seen many users frustrated and going on other chats doing so, with many users happy and sniggering at the sudden surprise. I will certainly though try to ask him this weekend with the sudden action , and I'm sure hopefully many of you will too.

What are your thoughts? How much xats did you win or lose? This is a perfect debate to get your weekend warmed up!

'Black Saturday' - x500 LANG , TREEFX , CLAUS Released! (CONSTANT UPDATES!)

Who said that Black Friday was finished?! Ehh?! Haha, I'm just kidding!

It's another weekend, which means we're guaranteed to have another release of TREEFX and CLAUS , and that's what happened!

At **4pm GMT+0** both powers got released at the same time!

x500 TREEFX and CLAUS released starting at the price of 1000 xats. N.B. Price will DROP!  

But that wasn't the only powers that got re-released, LANG also got returned to the stores literally a minute later than Treefx and Claus;

x500 LANG released costing 2000 xats

TREEFX Update: Power falling down by 23 xats every 10 minutes! When it's a time such as 6.45, 6.55, etc is the time when the power drops.

Here it is dropping lots;

Update 2: **SOLD OUT!** The final price was 511 xats and it had sold out at **7.45pm GMT**.

Final Update: The price on Trade has risen only very slightly and is now currently 530 - 560 xats. Hope you got yours!

________

CLAUS Update: The price drops slightly lower than TREEFX does, but at around the same time. 

  
This power has slightly less demand than TREEFX, as it was not as expensive.

Update 2: **SOLD OUT!** The final price was 400 xats and it had been sold out at around **8.30pm GMT**.

Final Update: Unlike TREEFX, the price on Trade has dropped down to around 360 - 400 xats. Hope you managed to buy one!

    

___________

LANG Update: Unlike TREEFX and CLAUS , this power has had hardly any demand with people selling lower than the store price on Trade!

It's currently 1750 - 1950 xats on Trade.

Update 2: One day later, just like with other powers, it's still in the stores, and remember only 500 were released!

  

I'm pretty sure that it'll be out of stock by the end of today, but obviously demand has completley vanished from this power!

 _____________

So , there you go! That's all the powers that were released yesterday, and sure it was kinda a mini Black Friday if you think about it!

Which powers did you buy if any? Be sure to leave a comment and let me know! :) 

x500 LANG Released!

Around **3pm+0 GMT** 42 released another bunch of LANG powers into the stores!

x500 released costing 2,000 xats each!

Last time the power was quite profitable as it rose to 2400 xats, and because of this it sold out quite quickly. However , this time was NOT the case!

Hardly anybody is buying and it's now under store price! (4pm) Here are a few images for you to see what's going around on @TRADE.

That was only a couple of minutes after the release, however. Watch what happened as time slowly passed ...

And only 1 person has decided to collect some , but he is most likely going to keep them and lose some xats!

So, that's about everything you need to know! The price is now currently 1900 xats and dropping, below store price, and only 1000 released! Spacewar alert! xD

For details on the Function of LANG, make sure to check out our previous post(s)!

Until then, Take care! :)
  

x500 LANG Powers Released!

At **11pm GMT+0** 42 released ID 206 aka 'LANG' into stores!

x500 released costing 2,000 xats each! LIMITED!

Sadly I was not able to get coverage from this power , but it is Group and more should be released soon. The reason it's so expensive is because of the possible 'Abuse' that it could lead up to.

Here's a snapshot of the price at Trade;

That's everything you need to know at the moment! What are your thoughts on LANG? I think it should have maybe been an EPIC power to keep away abusers, but because of its high price it should probably soon fail.

Any questions or comments, and you know what to do! ;)
 

CONFIRMED: Power 206 is 'LANG!'.

It's a pretty strange name, but at least 42 hasn't given us 3 Christmas powers in a row! 

Why have I said that? Well, that's because ID. 206 has been confirmed and it's known as LANG.

So, where shall we begin? Let's start off with the smiley for the power! Here was someone on xat_test posting it on the chat below;

Here was another user with it in their powers list;

 
Seems like a pretty cool smiley, doesn't it? But what about the function? Well, that will be revealed below!

Customise the languages on your chatroom! You can change a variety of things (images shown below). However , if you use Inappropriate language then that breaks xats Terms and Conditons and you will lose the power with no refund. (Although when BOOT occured nothing happened. NO GARANTEES!)

Here are a few examples below:

 
'Pressies' was also put down instead of 'Gifts'.

Here is another example. When I went on Help the Moderators on the chat were called 'Helpers'.

  
You can also change the 'Get a chat box' button you usually see.

Here's one final example...

Hopefully now you hopefully have a pretty good idea about the power. This power is also a GROUP POWER so you can assign it onto your group! It's also been published on the Power Wikipedia page!

What are your thoughts on this power? I think it's a great idea, but will obviously leave to some use of abuse. Full details and thoughts will be posted on the weekend on a different post , so stay tuned for that!

Make sure to leave a comment with your thoughts on the power below this post! 

**MORE INFO TOMORROW**
