Help! Temp guild switch by one member causes cascade loss of thralls

Hey folks. Long time player, stupidly stubborn in holding on to our spot on a server. Yes, still.

Been afk from it while hubs daily maintains our holdings. Working on our private PVE server on my end, so hadn’t been on with my character. Still, daily maintenance by hubs.

He switched guilds temporarily with a friend to do some runs together and avoid the usual thrall aggro issue, when suddenly POOF - all our thralls up and died, and took all the top tier gear with them, across the board, because apparently we ‘hadn’t been on long enough’.

Now folks, we’ve seen on that same server, leftover thralls hanging out for weeks after people stopped logging in, and long after builds had up and disappeared from disuse. So please - explain to me how less than an hour spent out of guild by the very active player causes such a cascade auto destruct?

This makes no sense at all. We had enough loss that our logs can’t show everything. We’re talking thralls we’ve had since the first month of the game opening. We’re talking multiple Captains that you can’t get anymore. And Bandit Leaders. Thralls we cannot just go and replace. Hell, some he just got last night up at the volcano - named fighters.

We’ve been dealing with nearly non-stop war for the past year. One group after another, some cheating horribly, some just persistently trollish, others just wanting to see the world burn. And we’ve weathered all of it. And managed to keep loads of our stuff out of their hands.

How in Hades are we supposed to manage now? All we have left are station thralls. Animals, fighters, archers - in the dozens.

How, if at all, can this be remedied? Surely this sort of thing shouldn’t happen. And who can we talk to directly about it if there is the possibility of a solution?

Were we inactive, the both of us, it would be understandable. But as mentioned, there is rarely a day we haven’t been on, at the very least to keep our stuff up and going. We’ve had stuff poof in the past due to that, and its fair enough. This is completely different.

Help?

as he is not part of the guild anymore but only you are and you haven’t been online for how long!? could it be that the game auto-decays your stuff because the only clan member (you) is inactive?

Perhaps, but that still doesn’t explain how other guilds who quit, hadn’t logged on in weeks, still had thralls in the dozens standing around in fields and in the air after buildings had auto-dested, and this one for us was near automatic, after constant daily activity by at least one of us. Just makes no sense, especially for a short temp switch. Regardless, shouldn’t happen like that. Or if it did, it ought to be universal across the board so as to prevent endless flocks of freed thralls hanging about to make everyone’s lives miserable during pvp time. That hasn’t been the case.

Consistency - realize it can be difficult, but it is the ideal. Just really flummoxed on the ‘why’ here, and rather irritated at the lack of warning associated with it all. Were this something that the system knows will result in a catastrophic collapse of something or other, a heads up prior to dropping and switching sure would be nice. Steps could then be taken at least.

Was not aware of any such issue, or he’d not have done it without me on and active at the time. Was busy taking care of post holiday bits on my end, planned on logging in to take him back in after they were done with runs. No intent on abandoning anything, simply spitting our efforts between us - pvp to private pve server setup. Don’t think we ought to be penalized for it given our level of activity, consistently, well into our second year running and after endless hard-fought wars. Feels like a real kick in the teeth, tbh.

Look at the GOOD SIDE that lost these THRALL 1.0, now in December / 2019 was going to have to dispense themselves that will be the THRALL 2.0 (with status) and limits, would have to dismiss all the same old.

Yeah, no. Would far prefer to A) have the choice, and B) Not lose all the goram time-invasive gear that went with them.
