vacations

[RageHammer]

I just got back from a 3 day family vacation, I didn't log into the game while I was gone. I intentionally rabbit foot buff traded with my brother and queued up my provision house and set everything up to produce while I was out. Long story short when I got back my provision house appeared to have stalled out, I left with about a 2 day queue, and when I got back it still had about a day left, it also appeared to have slowed down my mine consumption and gold production. My brother noticed similar things in his city.

Does anyone know if there was a server issue over the weekend or if the game doesn't keep your city operating normally when you miss some of the consecutive login days?

Little known fact:

Your island will shut down if you are gone 24 hours.

Unless someone visits it in that 24 hour period, that is.

You mean even another player? To buff or something?

Wow, glad to find out now before I'd gone away for more then 24 hours... I will get friends to check on my island from now on.

Thanks,

Where is this info from? And why isn't it more well known to the community? This just adds to my frustration with today's "BB money-hungry" patch.
