If the store is 'nonfarmable' why do we still have "For those naturally criminal minds, yes, you can force a store refresh by buying out a large amount of items. However, it won't work the way you are hoping, AND it's illegal. That is called "Store Farming". You will be fined, or even reset when you are caught farming. Store logs are available for all to see, so please, just buy items you are going to use, or items you want to resell. No one is going to buy your story that you were planning on reselling a whack of low end items, so don't bother trying to formulate that defense :)" in the faqs?

I see the FAQ is updated .. But I'm curious. Store visits don't require BA or a bot check -- is that because I'm still under newbie graces ? (FAQ still indicates that camping is one way to spend BA, so is it "free" visits for some time period or PR min ?)
And I'm dense, I "get" that 240 times a day (and I'm sure the intervals themselves are random...) the store may spawn items, but not refresh .. What's the difference ? That when the store runs low/out, tough cookies until one of the 240 chances happens ? (As opposed to CB1, where, at least with ammo, when no arrows were left, more were generated automagically .. )

when the store refreshed it got rid of all items not bought in 48 hours, perhaps it automatically gets rid of all items not bought in 48 hours instead of relying on a refresh.

what is the "newbie bonus"? And who will it apply to?

One possible newbie bonus, when I created my account, I had over 200 BA to use. I don't recall the exact number, but a large amount. And I wasn't paying close enough attention to see if it rolled to 160 after 10 minutes or if I just fought down to 160 in about 10 minutes. The extra BA would allow for one to catch up a little bit.
Also, is it wacky XP time ? It sure looks like it based on rewards I'm seeing, but no message saying as such.

When i started, i had i think 320 BA. Perhaps this is just so that newbies don't run out of BA during the tutorial and quit entirely.
- 5 minion max
- Score showing in dropdown changes after each battle
Duh, I meant "5 character max"

Saidaphis, that's not a change. I had that when I started in early August.
