Egypt Clean Up Act

by Harvest

[This law will replace all of the DAPC. There will no longer be a concept of an Absent player, and Fragile Chests will go away. Existing ones will become salvageable. -Teppy]

Departed is defined as 1) a player who is a trial account and has not logged in for a period of 14 days or 2) a person who has not paid their account for a period of 60 days after their account expires.

When an account expires an e-mail will be sent to the player, if on file, stating that they have 60 days to pay their account before their items are available to be claimed by other paid players. [Feature, but good idea - Teppy]

All players will have an option to designate an heir to their estate in the event that they become departed. This heir will have first rights to all property. If the heir does not claim the items within 14 days then the items will be available for any paid player to claim ownership or tear down.

Structures that degenerate to unusable can be claimed by a paid account and at that time the player can take ownership or tear down the structure. At this time the new owner has 24 hours to repair the compound or structure or the item will be released and able to be claimed by another citizen who has the same time frame mentioned above. [I'm assuming this applies only to those owned by departed players as defined above -Teppy]

Items that do not deteriorate can be claimed by a paid account and at that time the player can take ownership or tear down the structure.

Guilds should be handled in such a manner that if the owner becomes departed and no other elders remain then the people with the highest rank will all become elders in the guild. If there are no remaining members in the guild then a paid citizen may claim the guild and become the new owner or tear it down.
