Well I did two from his account yesterday and despite recharging overnight his is still only at 49% RC.
It's not really a problem right now as he won't be playing yet but I was interested to see what the effect would be for someone joining just to play Steem Monsters.
Basically, it looks like they won't be able to play without buying some Steem.
In which case, I think that should be made clear when people sign up.
These are his figures after making 2 very short comments.
Enough credits for approximately:
1 comments (3 after recharge)
10 votes (21 after recharge)
11 transfers (23 after recharge)
100% recharged in 2 days
Mind you I did follow a few Steem Monsters people on his behalf. Maybe that takes RC too.
Follows do consume RC's although I don't know how many. They haven't given each activity an official price tag, since they still haven't settled on a permanent price for each. I'm sure the steemmonsters guys are looking at every option to make it as playable as possible.
