Of course, they are all eagerly awaiting a permanent fix.

Until a few hours ago, the biggest worry was refuge.
With free food enabled, that worry has faded out.

The other big worries are about losing heroes (which were stuck) and being attacked by lucky loggers (once a fix is found and implemented).

So, here is a suggestion:

Dear Evony,

Why don't you turn off Age I for a specific period until a fix has been found, tested and declared OK?
This specific period could be 12 hours or 24 hours or any length of time you think would be needed.

The important thing is that the period be announced.

It could be something like this (on both the forums and social media):

"We are switching off all servers until 13:00 GMT on 05 June 2013.
If a fix is found, we will bring the servers back online at that time.
If a fix hasn't been found, we will announce a further extension at that time."

This would help everyone (both players and your staff) release a lot of stress.
People could go off and do other stuff without trying to login every minute.
They would be secure in the knowledge that nothing will happen to their accounts until "13:00 GMT".
They wouldn't need to worry about 'enemies' logging in before that time and attacking their cities.

Right now, it's a huge crowd waiting at a single door that no one knows will open when!
We all could do with a time-bound breather really!
Although the clocks on marches, markets, builds and queues are frozen in time, they aren't frozen where they should be...
...on all sorts of production buffs, War Horns, Ivory Horns, Corselets, Ultra Corselets, Penicillins , Excaliburs and Vestas!!!!!!!

Given the chaos we are in, I ask again that you please consider this thread's suggestion.
