Try to figure out a good IC reason for why your characters won't be able to do anything for the few days you will be gone. Make sure you put your status to vacation or your account will be deleted in two weeks. Other than that there isn't much you can do. Just hope your character doesn't have too many enemies. :wink:

Hit yourself with a weapon and claim to be knocked out!

Taking lots of mushrooms might work...

Or you could just say you're really tired. That's sorta boring.

This is another thing that bothers me. I have been lucky to been at home a lot, though normally I'm at sea more then I'm at home. Especially with the massacres going on now, i have little hope of my characters surviving a nonactive period. I already had a char killed in Cantr city, who worked as an employee, even though i stated to be non active for two weeks.
I think that when I start sailing regularly again, I will say this game goodbye. Not just for this reason really, but combined that being inactive most of the time wont get you anywhere in a game with this slow of pace.

So two weeks is the exact cut off point? Can some one promise me that? I don't want to end up deleted.

If you're going on vacation, it really is easier to just go into vacation mode. Then you have no chance of being deleted. I believe you can specify the amount of time-so if you know how long you will be gone, put the number of days in and off you go!

Yeah, but most likely I'll be getting to a PC, so I just want to make sure as long as the PD gives you a week on normal inactive.

Well, it isn't the PD. I believe it is just a little program that clears out inactives. lol. The PD would have a hard time going through and doing that, we've got enough on our plates ;-) Especially when that wouldn't be a hard thing to program.
