Do they do this every 6 months? It's my first year w/ ironman and I was pleasantly surprised w/ the bonus mid year. I've played more than before and was curious how much they offer for each level? Actually I have earned iron just about every month so how much do they give for that and gold? I remember it took a LONG time to clear though.

Hey, the end of the year iron man bonus has been strongly hinted at by ftpdoug and I expect to see it again.

How it works: (assuming it's the same rules as the last 2 times they've done this)

$100 for each month of iron
$75 for gold
$50 for silver
$25 for bronze

It's for a 6 month period, so the most you can would be $600 and obviously lesser combination too. It hasn't affected the MGR the last two times either, so I doubt this one will either. A good idea a lot of people do is to purchase an iron man bonus and clear both concurrently in the play month to get the bonus, which would be January this year.

As for the clear rate, I believe it was .05 per point instead of the usual .06. I might be wrong, I haven't paid attention to that part fwiw, but I think that's it.
