Rules of Fair Vacation Mode (not Ripoff Mode):
1) Can only be applied after 3 days of inactivity vs players. Don't agree
2) Science, buildings, training, wall defences can be on the go, but will be frozen. Sounds good
3) Once vacation mode is applied, will take 24 hours to activate and cannot be cancelled. No further action can be taken in the game during that time. Should be instant
4) Vacation mode cannot be applied if troops are marching or garrisoned in another town, or orders waiting in the market. Common sense
5) Once in vacation, you can't come out for at least 3 days. Agreed, it was that way in another strategy game I played
6) Once out of vacation mode, there's a cooldown of 3 days before you can go into it again. If in that time you don't attack/march/transport/scout another player you can apply for vacation mode again. Also completely agree
7) After 1 month in vacation, Evony reserve the right to delete your account during their monthly inactives cleanout. Again, completely agree.
This helps avoid people relying on other players by giving their account details and thereby open up the chance of theft of real money. As it stands Evony effectively lock people in the game if they want to play at all, and then profit from potentially illegal practices. This is a tactic normally used by drug suppliers and loan sharks. Makes you wonder why they don't host it in the USA, hmmmm?
