I'd be down for a buff in offline times until the transfer is complete, but maybe for the first hour offline it's full reward?
No offline limit is a bit much.

See the way I see it is, it's the holidays. I shouldn't have to babysit the game and refresh it every couple of hours, just to make sure it isn't crashing. Full rewards until issues are resolved, to me eliminates this. It' not like I'm suggesting it become a permanent aspect of the game. Just until everything is sorted out. If it's only full rewards for the first hour...we'd still have to babysit the game which improves nothing about the issue. If that's the case there's no point in even changing offline gains at all. The whole problem is that when people step away from their computers/laptops, they should have the peace of mind that the idle game is idling safely. Not that if they came back in 1 hr, 2, 5, 10, that the game has crashed and they've lost gains in the game. For instance, you leave the game on and go out to your families for Christmas dinner. You come back 6 hours later and the game is crashed. Well, wtf. Why should we be penalized and only get 1 hour back out of that time. It makes no sense to me to have a limit on offline gains...when the offline portion isn't our fault. As far as you being online anymore...lol you still need to play to use the offline time. So you would dw Smile It's just that the offline time needs to mirror the gains you would have gotten if you were online.


I'm a bit confused now on what you want here:
To simply have full gains while offline
Or
To have rested time give 100% exp/gold?

If you want to have full gains while offline, then rested time would need to be removed completely as it would just be an exploit to gain more stuff.

Rested time - while it's counting you earn 50% and then when your back you earn another 50% until the max rested time, from which if you want to remove the max rested time the earning while offline would have to be removed, and you would only gain while online. 
I see why you want it, but it seems more like a rant because the server went down for a bit. It won't happen often, nor has and it'll likely stop for the next bit, as it gives terrible rep to Yahoo. It just seems like a 'dreamy' buff that won't happen.

Rested time already helps people recover their 100% earning for (i think it's) 6 full hours, which would be well enough time anyway. The limit is because people who don't play shouldn't be accounted for, and people who actually want to play should be able to get farther ahead, course it's an idle game so it's not that huge of a difference.

If you leave and come back with your game crashed that's what rested time is for, I really do think no limit is way to much to give; maybe just increase it to a day, but really why is it being the holidays an excuse when theirs an event and many other bonuses for it. You only have to refresh it because the server went down, from which ray even gave people links on Facebook to an auto refresher, so the browser can refresh for them on days of updates.
