Time machine

The time machine is an item that generates money while you are offline. Offline in this case means the game is closed. Chatting and looking at the scoreboard doesn't count as being offline.

Availability
The time machine is available from the beginning of the game via the gold shop. After the player acquired a credit card it can be bought via the shopping mall as well.

Costs
There are currently two ways to buy the time machine. It can be bought for $100,000,000 ingame money or 10.99 Euro real money.

Profit
The amount of money generated by the time machine depends on your time spent offline and your income rate. One theory is that only the income generated by your job is relevant and your businesses don't count due to the fluctuating nature of their profit. Another possibility is to consider your income at the point of going offline to be the guideline of the calculations. The time machine doesn't immediately start generating funds. Money is collectable after about 10 minutes. The longer you are offline the less money you earn per minute (probably more like per 10 minutes): Therefore it is advisable to collect your funds as often as possible.
