Also impying that age1 players are not real life people is pretty ignorant, I played age1 along time before I came to age2, and I had no problem working fulltime, or going on vacation, like I said, just need a sitter.
Well, I think sitters are nowhere near good enough of a solution. First off, I would never, ever ever trust somone to watch my account, give them my login details, etc... if I do not know them personally. This is a internet game. And 99.99% of the time I have never met anyone personally in my alliance. Which leaves me with asking real life friends to babysit my game while I am away in france for 1 month. "Um, excuse me John. I know you are a busy guy with 3 kids and a wife. I am going away for a month. Can you please water my plants once a week? Oh, and login to my video game everyday to make sure my cities are ok. You know Evony, right?"
C'mon man. Asking people you know to babysite a GAME is not what normal adults do. If I asked one of my friends to do that they would think I was a freak or crazy.
