 Topic: Auto kicking.

I agree with the pro autokicking sentiments. Not that I have a problem with anyone raiding or conquering or destroying any cities in inactive accounts, but simply to reduce the possibility of unfair advantage or even foul play.
I suggest the following scenario for dealing with such accounts:
After a period of inactivity by the owner of the account (I favour 30 consecutive days but could be 60 but not longer) suspend the account so no more activity by anyone is possible (including sitters) but leave the option to re-activate should the original owner re-log. That way any raiding or conquering or even razing of cities can be done at the attackers' risk in those first 30 days, yet after that no-one can gain any unfair advantage from the inactive account. The period in which the account could be re-activated should also have a limit after which auto kicking takes place.
Just my 2 cents worth, Ratu

You have understood sitting rule incorrectly by the way one account can have sitter for 90 days but it does limit time sitter can sit on other accounts. Of course you can sit only 2 accounts at one time. I assume this rule has not gone live anyhow since there is no counter in my account management.

Would you know a sitter who'd be fine using ALL of his sitting ability on you, if you were gone for 90 days?
Just sayin

Then its lucky you can have a sitter for 90 days 
and if you buy a little prestige you can even be away for almost 6 months (if you have a sitter).

So what if a player is actually going to be inactive for more than 84 days? Is there a way to negate this account deleter thingy?

Aneirin, TC and SC have the biggest interest of all in making Illy work well, and now that they are aware of the debate, they can act upon it as time permits.
Lets chill out and see if things dont get better after a while yeah?
Peace out.

Just for some info on abandoned players, as we have just loosened the rules to abandon more accounts - as the number of new players that are joining Illyriad every day has jumped quite considerablly:
Every time a new player joins Illyriad we try to remove an "abandoned account" in the following priority: - 0 pop where Last Active > 4 days, oldest Last Active first [non-prestige purchaser]
- < 10 pop where Last Active > 14 days, oldest Last Active first [non-prestige purchaser]
- Last Active > 28 days, oldest Last Active first [non-prestige purchaser, hasn't customised own profile]
- Last Active > 28 days, oldest Last Active first [non-prestige purchaser]
- Last Active > 84 days, oldest Last Active first [prestige purchasers]
Last Active includes sitters. Also the account that we are abandoning cannot have unit incoming or an active siege/blockade in progress.
Of course this does not mean an abandoned account will match the above criteria in which case the pool of active accounts grows.
When an account is abandoned by the system at that time it will be removed from the Alliance it is in and all its towns removed from the map.
Note: We've just recently added prestige purchasers to the deletion queue (alas...) and also just recently added Facebook, Mobile and Google Checkout to the purchases that will move a player into priority 5.
This means a recent (or old for PayPal) prestige purchaser will have around 3 months of inactivity before being considered for deletion. Non-prestige purchasers will have around 28 days of inactivity before being considered for deletion.

I know that you don't stick to these time periods - far from it. Even if you did. They are far too long. I get the impression that you can't be asked.
