Since whole previous thread (I wasn’t the OP of it) was flagged/delisted, I started a new one. So message of the day on official servers shows that building decay timers should be back to 10 days on 19.01.2026, while thrall decay timers should be reverted 29.01.2026. Of course both still sits at 20 days (480h). My question is when someone responsible will do his/her job and bring those timers to 10 days as announced?
and so lot of players will loose all again, i think in this situation the best it to let it as it is and be sure to announce to all players in game a new date (with at least 20 days before been effective), or to let it as it is, honestly with a game dying i thinkt he problem is not decay timer, but situation with hackers that totally kill the game.
lol yeah the old thread is gone! Weird
Revert was announced at the beginning of january, so everyone should be on their guard - but since those dates weren’t met, now it is total lottery, no matter if someone will post new message of the day or not (how can you be sure that new date will be met?).
But to the point - I’m so focused on those timers, because my current server is filled with both hoarders (log in once per 10 or now 20 days just to refresh their huge, empty bases) and newbies, who create big sandstone monstrosities and abandon them on day 2, with every active player just waiting for those bases to decay, so they can remove/clean them. Such old, “sentimental” players are not that good to the game, because they simply do not play, they just persist. And the new ones often give up because they are overwhelmed by the enormity of these abandoned/refreshed bases or the fact that interesting places are already occupied by them. Game is artificially populated, but no real “life” inside. That is why I miss old 7 days decay - either you play, either you just want to show off with your debatably beautiful “project”, being a monument to past days of active play.
and so you can be sure that some will loss all their thralls, i have no problem to aplly the old time if they want, but before doing it they should annonce it in the server msg with the new date, otherwise it will again impact a huge loss of player that will be pissed off to see their thralls fully leveled to disapear for the third time because there will be no warning of the date of appliance in reality of the change to old timer.
Yet you have warning about reverting on 19 and 29 and…
Besides active players log in (or at least should) weekly (mainly on weekends for working adults), so even 7 days shouldn’t hit anyone who is REALLY playing. Those who can’t or don’t want to commit can always play SP.
And those dates have passed, so new annoucement should be done or as you already undestood it will cause problem, and some people play on lot of servers at same time and not only one, just jumping on those with some population to play active. i ‘m sure you noticed that the most majority of server have a online pop of 0-2 players.
I have a feeling, that this conversation is getting of the rails a bit and I’m certainly not going in that discussion any further, since you surely don’t want to know what I think of such players-multiple servers refreshers only.
Anyway - it is a matter of professionalism and reliability to make such changes on time, especially if you announced them yourself, like FC did. Otherwise, it simply embarrasses and ridicules that company.
yup better stop as you dont want understand that pve is not the only mode of the game 
but yes i agree its mater of professionalism, and if failed in this case, its also a matter of profesionalism to announce new date of when it will occur.
It is still 480h…I have no words. Maybe they will change this when turning on another time event, like Jhebbal hunt or smth.
In my opinion, the best solution to empty bases would be the realized opportunity to transport all your bases in a single-player game. Basically, players who don’t play, but only upgrade their bases, just feel sorry for their time spent building, collecting materials and satellites. And I can understand them.
But if they make such a transfer, the game will lose even more attendance)
Well…you can recreate any base quite easily in admin mode, so there will be not much point in such transfer, if you couldn’t transfer it back - and this is obviously impossible. Besides fake crowd (of decay restarters) isn’t good in any way for multiplayer, regardless of server type.
The base maybe, but not the character.
Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge that can’t be acquired anymore. It doesn’t work, but I know it, etc.
And I’m not talking about thralls. Some of them you can’t get anymore, and the rest you can, but you’ll spend hundreds of hours training, etc.
In admin mode? I believe you can do/get whatever you want.
It’s Bob. He’s on vacation.
Not even funny anymore - clear sign of FCs incompetence and disregard.
No. It’s not funny. My whole Excel sheet of decaying bases with time return just got shot down. I was gonna be so stacked!! Bummer. This sux.
How are people celebrating the upcoming 5 week anniversary of the January decay timers that didn’t revert to normal?
Any special celebrations planned?
I don’t know what the traditional 5 week anniversary gift is. Any ideas?
