Vacation/Holiday mode
Posted: 10 Mar 2016 12:04
I think that for the next patch there should be a vacation mode option when you log in or out. This should allow you to choose a period of time where you know you will be unable to log in and this setting effectively freezes your assets so you dont lose them.
For example, if I'm on a two week holiday (which I will be in late September) I will not be able to log in and will lose my houses/vehicles and will have to start from scratch.
If there was an option where I could enter a vacation mode, I could define a set time (minimum of 1 week and maximum of 3 weeks) where I can have my account frozen/protected.
Pre-empted answers to any questions you may raise:
1. Minimum of 1 week would stop people from entering vacation mode to protect their assets if they were in a 'war' with other players.
2. Maximum of 3 weeks would stop players from entering a 'long duration of time' where vehicles on a server were not available to active players.
3. A long serving player on a server doesnt lose everything they have worked for.
4. Lone wolves are no longer punished for playing solo (groups of players can unlock each others vehicles)
5. Last but still important; servers would probably stay active as players who lose everything - rarely come back.
What are your thoughts?
