Deleted my post as for reasons stated further below this thread.
I have deleted this entry myself after one of Evony's representatives changed my thread header and started using smileys.

Greetings Lords and Ladies of Evony!
We've been working on this for some time in response to player request, and considering that our players have more holidays in the upcoming future, we're proud to release the "Vacation Mode" feature.
Conditions that must be met before you can implement Vacation Mode:
1. You must stop all construction, research, recruitment, expeditions. You may not dispatch troops to valleys, nor have any pending orders in the market;
2. You may not have any alliance army units in your cities.
3. There cannot be any attacks or your troops in your alliance member's cities.
Effects of Vacation status:
1. All of your status will be frozen. No resources will be gained or consumed.
2. You will be unable to be attacked. However, if before you have implemented all conditions above and an enemy lord has sent an attack, you will be attacked.
3. Alliance cannot help you during Vacation Mode. If an alliance member tries to garrison troops in your city, they will automatically come back when they arrive.
To change player status to Vacation Mode, you will need to consume game cents at a rate of 10 cents per day, minimum 2 days in this mode. Once Vacation Mode has been activated, no operation of the game is allowed and the game will return to the Evony landing page simultaneously.
A player may extend Vacation Mode in two day increments by clicking on the Auto Extension button below the login. There is no limit to extending Vacation Mode until a player deactivates the mode or the player has exhausted their cents.
Best Regards,
Evony Team
what about non playing players? what about the majority of the people playing evony, what about those we requested this in the first place?

There you an all time low. PAY TO NOT PLAY.
I don't much agree with their way of doin' it...chargin' cents for it isn't a great way to get new fans.
Sayin' that, I was against a vacation mode all along, so I've not got an issue with this...there's absolutely no one gunna abuse vacation mode now, I tell you that...
i was against it aswell
im glad u have to pay players would just hide behind it if you didnt

Glad I checked before I posted the thread I had written up.
But yeah I believe paying for it is a way to make sure it does not get abused and Evony makes some money from it.
EDIT:
3. There cannot be any attacks or your troops in your alliance member's cities.
I assume this is supposed to read as.
"There can not be any outgoing attacks from or incoming attacks involving your city and none of your troops can be garrisoned in an alliance mates city."

Now Evony offers the convenience of taking monthly withdrawals against your credit card for cents.
Then, they offer to take cents automatically from your account to be in "Vacation" mode.
Obviously they have figured out how to make money off the people that are quitting in droves.
