Long time to be gone

Postby Joshuamonkey » Sat Sep 01, 2007 8:54 pm

I was wondering if it would be possible for an account to be still active for two real life years, without the player logging in. Food can be taken care of.

If you have people in the town that like you and give you food while you are on your extended nap. My characters have seen that before.

No. It might be possible, but not by yourself, you'd probably have to work something out with staff...if they do such a thing. But it says you can only be on leave for 90 days and I guess 21 days after that you would idle out, so if I am right about that, at best, you can not log into cantr for 110 days and still be alive.

Two years? That's 36 years Cantr time. If you had a newspawn, he would be 56 when you came back. Everyone older than that would be old. Everyone who's already old would be very old. I doubt a person could just catch up after 36 years of coma. Perhaps with one character but not all fifteen. And I bet it would be nerve-wrecking for the friends of those characters. I think it would be better to start killing off characters and start over after the break.

And the people you get to feed yours will probably die off and your charries would starve anyways.

15000g of salted meat lasts more than 2 real life years.

If you set your account to leave... it gives you 90 days to log back in.... correct? 21 days if you don't set it to leave? then your account times out?

If you do not set your account on leave and do not log in, your account will idle out on the 21st day and all characters will die. You can set your account on leave up to 90 days but during that time, if your characters do not have someone supplying them food or set to continue farming during this time, or have quite a bit of food already on thmm , they can and will starve to death during this time frame.
I will have to check but I do believe if you log in during that time you have set your account on leave you will have to reset it if you want it back on leave again.

You have to reset it if you log in.

I once kept my charries alive by logging in every two weeks. I couldn't face waking them up though. :x That was a bad patch. Some are still alive now, though..! :| I think I spent about half a year IRL doing that.

I think you would die on the 91st day, not the 110th.
