In one to two weeks time, we're going to lower the absentee time from 3 months to 1 month. This means if you're not on the server within a month's time, your town data will be deleted; you will be kicked out of town.

Now, if you know you're going to be gone a while and you're the mayor of a town, be sure to pass your mayorship down to someone you trust who can keep your place safe for the time you're gone.

If you're just a member of the town, send a mail (/mail send <mayor/assistant's name> <msg>) to your town staff, or talk to them in person if you catch them online and ask them if you can keep your stuff somewhere safe and to save your house for when you return; giving them a date or span of time you'll be gone would be helpful.

Also!! Please note MrSlave's first comment to this post if you're wondering where Night PvP is!!
