21 days without a login from a studio boss, triggers a vote to find a new boss.  So I take that as precedent that the game considers you gone after 21 days.

 

105 days with no login (plus or minus a little, we think) causes an avatar to go poof, and auto-delete.

 

I hate the fact that from day 22 to day 105, zombie avatars get to keep their full skill boost. That is a long time for an avatar to be powered up, but not paying for that boost.

 

I suggest that after 22 days of not logging in, personal boosts should reset to nothing.

Completely agree Cap

All Boosts should expire when the diamonds or notes for the period they were bought for is completed.

The fact that the game requires you to log in to update or check such things is an oversight in the games mechanics that should be fixed to maintain game balance.

Last i checked diamond bought boosters last for 7 days, 14 if you extend them. Players should not receive booster effects after this period expires.

yes i agree with you cap 105 days is way out of reason for a studio to keep a zombie player they are payed for by the studios in studio fights just to keep them strong i think this would be a grate thing to happen in the game .

That sounds very fair considering the log jam of inactive avatars I encounter daily.

0 second thoughts there.

3 weeks is more than reasonable enough.


Now that my char has been deleted...

I finally am just as relevant to UK2 as Maalena always has been.

Well, vacations happen, BBW. So I think it perfectly reasonable that a studio is not penalized for letting it's players go away for a couple of weeks without having to log in.  

 

That is why I tried to find an existing mechanic of WHEN the game considers a player to be gone. Boss vote seems to be the most reasonable mechanic.

 

I think this is easily implemented. Check the last login date of each avatar during a studio fight, adjust boost level accordingly.
