what are anonymous accounts used for? Do they carry over to the next game? Also what are SMR credits? How do you get them and what are they used for?

Anonymous accounts are where you can store money seperately from your personal or alliance account. They are password protected, and are generally used to transfer money to another player. They do not roll over into the next game.

SMR credits are earned for every dollar that you donate to the game via the donate link, or by mailing the money to me, or another admin, to deposit in an account then forward to Spock. SMR credits are used to buy your way into special games. A feature that will come in the future.

Is it true that Anonymous accounts and Alliance accounts earn no interest?

That discourages teamwork, imo. Why place a penalty on sharring a resouirce within the alliance? If anything , it should get more interest to encourage team building.

Well it matters to some of us I think. If SM was so wonderful and perfect as it was, why are we playing this version and not back there? LOL

Kidding aside and with all due respect, there is always room for improvement in any game and i doubt if it would cripple the known universe to be open to trying new things. Thats really the only way to tell if its better or worse.

Furthermore, thats not how life works. Partners tend to form coporations (alliancs) or at least limited partnerships. Those that don't pool resources and then bank them so interest is gained tend not to be in business for long! These interest bearing accounts usually garner a higher interest rate than personal accounts too. Without this, these partnerships tend to become just an assortment of individules. In the game, if you want to promote teamwork, then have more incentive for them to pool resources on a financial level.

As for planets gaining interest, Far more interest is usually gained by these "alliances" investing it in their business - ie, not in a bank. To me, the alliance's place of busines often seems to be their planet, frequently with branch locations. :wink:
