We are changing our auto-abandonment policy from tomorrow. Rather than a "one in one out" policy we are moving to an strict enforced time criteria. Every 6 hours ALL accounts that fail these tests will be abandoned. Pre-warnings will be issued via registered email in the circumstances noted:
You can change your email address in the accounts and preferences page in game. Player suspended accounts will not be contacted. Accounts under siege etc will not be abandoned; until it has finished. The in-game account sitting mechanism is the method to use to keep your account active if you need to be away for an extended period of time. Edited by GM ThunderCat - 06 Jul 2012 at 19:21 |

Just in case, if I understand this correctly the old (apopalypse now) "empty profile" test is not more used, and "siege etc." includes blockades, attacks, raids, and diplomatic visits to any town of an inactive account.

Just a quick suggestion -- where players are in alliances, have you considered notifying the head of the alliance as well? I know a lot of alliances have inactive members that they want to hold so they can siege them later, and it would be useful for them to know for planning's sake if their cities were about to disappear...

I think this is marvelous, because there are, imo, way, way too many cases of this going on and they are totally cluttering the map. If alliances want those cities, then they need to get on it quickly or lose them. Bravo, TC! This is an incredibly positive step, imo, for all levels of player in Illy! |
