When were MEOW farms "fixed"?

What was the release date of the patch or whatever that removed the exploit we came to know and love as MEOW Farms?

A link would be preferred, so I can try to figure out how I could have found it in my search attempts.

Thanks!

Thanks!

It also looks like they did it solely by adjusting the XP?

Yes.

They dropped AE Comm officers from LT rewards to minion.

ONLY in the MA, mind you. In the rest of the game they still give LT rewards.

Thanks!

Personally, I'm still chuckling over how meow farms were fixed.

The devs are vets!

I'd say you forgot the neuter part, but a catguy hasn't been seen in decades. Which begs the questions: How do the things keep reproducing?

The one catguy that you haven't seen really gets around.

Dominant genes?
Human + Catgirl = Catgirl.

[/ QUOTE ]Dominant genes would result in only about 50% of the off-spring being part-cat... and that 50% would be divided up between the cat-boys (which apparently only rarely survive past infancy) and cat-girls, meaning only approximiately 25% of the Catgirl's off-spring could be other Catgirls!

Unless estimates of Catgirl's fertility have been greatly underestimated, those numbers would suggest that such populations are impossible to sustain purely by Dominant genes!

Not impossible, just unlikely. It would require a minimum of 4 kids per family.

No, that'd merely sustains a population, excluding outside influences. With all the catgirls that don't have off-spring, get run over by buses, die piloting giant mecha, get sold into slavery, or lose their life due to illnesses, that number raises up to 16 kids per family!

Now, when we also factor in how quickly the population is growing, that number raises up to an impressive 64! Also, based on our projections, not only is the birthrate increasing, but the growth of the birthrate is increasing as well! Based on the best estimates science can deliver, by the end of next year we'll be knee deep in Catgirl offspring!

Oh please. Did you really think it was their dandruff that set off people's allergies?

They grow from spores.

[/ QUOTE ]And this theory is infinitely more probable! Using this method of reproduction, a single Catgirl could have litterally millions of off-spring in a single year! Sure, it still doesn't account for all the growth, but it's far closer to reality than the dominat genes theory!

You forgot one, "Every time you try to drag real physics into a discussion about a fantasy story, God kills a catgirl."

Theres also, "When x happens, God kills a catgirl".

The spores theory must be correct.

[/ QUOTE ]Actually, checking an interpretation of Posi's abusing MArch posts. An erroneous one, as it turned out. (And yes, I 'fessed up to it in the relevant thread. )

[/ QUOTE ]Dragging in more real-world science:

Parthenogenesis is also bad because it does nothing to support genetic diversity.

My vote is extra-uterine gametic recombination.

(But I like the spores theory.)
