it has come to our attention that some people are using ppt after vacation as a tool to have almost constant PPT / vacation and as a result are not held responsible for their actions during playing time...
This will stop.
The change will be to limit PPT (including alliance PPT) to not take effect until 24hours AFTER coming off vacation.
This change will be going in shortly.

Re: limit on ppt after vac
ok i got a bit wider feedback (from regular vacationers for legit reasons) and will tone this down a touch: will be no alliance ppt within 24hours of being on vacation. Other ppt will work (for now).
will see how this goes, and can adjust as needed...

Re: limit on ppt after vac
Alliance PPT seemed to be the root cause of the problem not vacation mode.
It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Making it so you cant use Alliance PPT when you come off vacation mode is a better solution.
People need to work away from home and or study etc...
The more complicated rules become the less user friendly the game becomes.

Re: limit on ppt after vac
If its not broken dont fix it.
Its a game feature and works the same for everyone.
I recently had a member accidentally exit vacmode. We used alliance PPTs and passive defence for 24 hours to buy him enough time so he could re-vac .
It wasnt easy and was very expensive for his account but even more expensive for those who unsuccessfully tryed to mass him.
He would have been 100% screwed if this screwball notion goes through.
DON`T EVEN CONSIDER DOING IT.

Re: limit on ppt after vac
why just limited PPT? Why not Removing it for good?
REMOVE ALLIANCE PPT and User PPT. Put back Ratio of At's that you can buy using Market Turn.
And Let's see, if someone will build Stuff if it wasn't for PPT. let's see how many >5T defenses in main will be up.
i know PPT - it's the trick that brings $$$ to admin, but in the end, it's all about fun, not about greedy.
Also, rising TOC to that high, didn't you make users be descended in 7.5 h? So why PPT for 4 days/week in main and only 7.5 protection /Descensions in Ascended?

Re: limit on ppt after vac
24 hrs after vac before you can do either is the point.

Re: limit on ppt after vac
if ppl are exploiting it, maybe limit number of times ppl can vac or raising the min vac time.
also can someone clarify about coming off vac... I was told yesterday that you can set for 10days but still be on vac indefinately if you don't log in.
I thought you came off vac as soon as the amount of days you set for came up... (I always set for 99 days to be sure)

Re: limit on ppt after vac
The minimum vac time does not need to be raised. The problem is coming from the other PPT sources that are available - black market, alliance PPT.
And yes, you should be able to enter 3 days VAC and be on it for however long you want. The time you enter actually has no impact on the time you are on vacation.
