Maximum time of PPT

Hei guys,

What the most time one can be on PPT?

Multiple allowed is 2 for 2x (1/2) Market Status that allows 2 days.

Is that the maximum 48h?

Depends when you start it. If you go Friday night - Sunday night, then Take another on Sunday which takes you through until Tuesday night. You still have you two left for this week which takes you through to Saturday night. And if you manage to squeeze an ascenstion in there aswell you can technically do a 10 day PPT

On a pure technicality, each PPT can last exactly 48 hours and 29.9 minutes. If you go on PPT immediately after the turn, your PPT will end in 48 hours after the next turn. Not quite sure how that's tactically useful, but meh...

45 days, meh...no idea.. My calculations(did awhile ago)


Well, alright then, for the max.
You must start with 1000 g&r's
1-Buy a ppt Friday night, takes you to Sunday night
2-Buy a ppt Sunday night, that takes you to Tuesday night
3-Ascend, and then jump back into 5 G&R range, that ppt takes you to Thursday night
4-Take your first ppt Thursday night, that takes you to Saturday
5-Take another ppt Saturday night, takes you to Monday night.
6-Ascend again Monday night, that ppt takes you to Wednesday night. Jump back into 5 G&R range.
7-On Wednesday night take another ppt to Friday
8-On Friday take a second to Sunday night. Depending on how well you have timed your previous ones you may either be off ppt for a few minutes on Sunday or for a few hours until you can buy another one Monday
9-On Monday morning take a ppt to Wednesday morning.
10-Ascend again Wednesday morning, takes you to Friday morning.
11-Take a ppt Friday morning, takes you to Sunday morning. Depending on When you took your ppt monday will mean how long you be off until you can get another one.

lets see, that is 11 ppts/22 days. I think that is the max before you must be off for atleast 24 hours.

I guess if admin gave out a free ppt for the entire server for whatever reason then a longer one could be done(actually easily double in length...), but those are impossible to predict, so meh...(Unless you get a free non-mt ppt like we got last Christmas)

Bryan pulled 45 days nonstop. I'll ask him the specifics. You can ascend in 4 1/2 days if you can rank high enough fast enough.

5G&R per turn X 48 turns = 240G&R per 24 hr period or 1 day

1000G&R divided by 240 =4.166666666 days

Well timed and with enough resources you can pull all 10 ascentions nonstop.

Also I suppose it is technically possible to get rank 1 and do ascentions that way non-stop, but that would be freaking expensive :P
