Is there a limit to how many credits you can get? At the moment I have 11,000 million credits and the money is still coming in.

The limit is in the order of nine quintillion, give or take a couple of hundred quadrillion. That's 9 with 18 more digits after it. I think you'll be OK for a while. ;)

Excellent!

Though, 9,999*10E18 or 9'999*10E15 credits, right? :mrgreen:

As I like to say: 1% of a lot is a few, 1%of a few is a lot :mrgreen:

just to straighten out facts.

1 billion in US is 1.000 millions
1 billion in EU is 1.000.000.000.000.

Not sure why Americans read it like that, or if we are at fault, I'd say the logical correct way would be the EU way and that Americans just like to do things their own wrong illiterate way, but I'm sure someone can illustrate us better on this :)

Its a question of translation for me... we use the word "billion" for big hacked part of trees :D

[OT]

Here you go. See what the British House of Commons briefing had to say about the use of 'billion' in 2009.

Interesting though.
Thank you.

Well, since we have 1,000,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 I'd say what's in between is '000'.. so you're right ;)
