I know Torn is primarily set up for visual users, however a friend of mine who is visually impaired has been able to access the game with no problems up until now (currently level 15, so she's been at this a while). Unfortunately, for both the mobile and non-mobile versions of the game, screen reading accessibility doesn't cut it anymore for a lot of features. Things she was previously able to do that she can't do now either because they need a mouse to click a drop down menu or some such thing:
1. Set up her bazaar 2. Travel to and from other locations 3. Equip items. 4. Go to loan shark 5. Post on forums (can't see others' posts or make one of her own) 6. Send messages 7. Use the bank 8. Open parcels from the post office
Any advice or help would be appreciated. Most of the things on the list are stuff I've had to help her do since the update, since I can see to do them. Is there some trick we're overlooking?
I bought five packs this evening, understanding that I would get 50 points per pack, plus whatever amount was given for buying in bulk. However it seems I've only gotten the extra points. Do the other ones come up at some point, or am I missing something? Thanks for your help in advance.
So, I made some recent bets, which I find out now, that I won. Sadly, I had to be away for more than 24 hours. Turns out, that 15,218 I made cumulatively just up and vanished into the ether. I know this isn't a bug, but it would be nice if, for those of us who can't log in every day, that there be an extension, say, 48-72 hours, for people to collect. Or, why have the limit at all?
I've posted the description of the Scarab amulet with typos marked and fixes.
The Scarab Amulet says: "Often in the form of a scarab beetle, these amulets were often found in tombs as grave "gods" (should be goods) or given to people and the gods as presents. The Scarab, or 'Kheper' because of it's (its) sacredness, was used in many of the pharaonic names, meaning 'to transform'. One pharaoh - Amenhotep III was famous for his group of '5 scarabs'. Prevalent all over Egypt, this particluar (particular) amulet is made from fired clay"
I understand if I and my partner log into the game whilst in the same physical location, our IPs would be similar if not identical. However, even after clearing her browser cache and her actually going somewhere else (different part of town), the game still behaves as if we're in the same place and warns about sending money/items to 'yourself.' This is rather annoying. I assume there's a fix I've overlooked, but I'm not sure what it is. Tips/advice are appreciated.
My friend can travel to, but not from locations, she can add stuff to her bazaar, she can't visit the loan shark, or send messages, or take drugs. Or equip items. Or post on forums. I'm still helping her do most of these things (drugs, travel, equipping).

The person this was for can now access forums, but they can't figure out how to buy ammo, they can't add or remove things from their bazaar, they can't get home after traveling (but can travel to some place just fine), and she can't get back to the general information page after programming a virus on her in-game PC. Also, she can't send messages to other players. She can't see the rehab or hunting headings in Switzerland/S. Africa respectively, or anything that functions in that way.
I see. Thank you. I just thought since, strictly speaking, neither account was made in the same place, and that they are separate, that there was a workaround. It would be nice to play with a friend, but when the game thinks it's the same person... *shrugs* I get it, it's just kind of annoying not to be able to enjoy it with the person who got me into the game in the first place.
