1. porting on most older servers is almost out of the question to avoid this tactic. some servers have no empty flats available at all, in which case you couldn't port a single city. about a month ago, i tried creating a new acct on server 1 and couldn't pick which state i wanted to start in because they were all full! n1 was the same way as well. i play on 89 and most of the states on that server are full(maybe that's a hint that evony should wipe out the inactives ) 2. attacks may not last forever, but you can set them to last for a REALLY long time. using camp times, you can set a max-timed attack at just over 500 hrs, which is right at 3 weeks. at no point in time in this 3 week period can someone go into holiday mode.
