How does one play for 12+ days straight? Is unattended macroing allowed in WoD?

I don't think that its 12 days nonstop. It's a total.

im pretty sure thats a seer or GM, it would all most have to be

I guess it's nice that you think we're online that much, but I can assure you we aren't. Those top numbers are all players.

Yeah, those are players. There actually isn't even a GM in the to 20 (though actually, if you add up the time I spend working on WoD stuff offline, I think I'd probably be in there. Most of my time is spent working on stuff locally, though, not logged into WoD.)

Ok, I see.. thanks.

Is unattended macroing allowed in WoD?

Yes it is as long as you do it in place where you won´t disturb others.

It is polite to change yourself into a private mode (.private) while macroing unattended so others won´t try to .msg you.

For those who are curious the second place in the monthly times was Nox Starfire's account the reason im on so often and so long is cos i have nothing better to do with my life anymore as i can no longer work.I am unable to work due to stress and depression and WoD is my link to the outside world as such. I can assure you all that none of it is unattended macroing im always sat here at my keyboard.I normally get first place but as those who know me well i was offline for about 4/5 days with flu Better now tho thx and Nox is back out killing anything that moves so be careful if you see him about ( Nox's Motto "If it moves kill it if it dont move nudge it then kill it ")

Actually, Maddox, you might want to verify this with a GM. I don't think unattended macroing is allowed.

From what is stated in the rules, I am under the impression that afk macro is allowed as long as it's not in a public place. I would think that if it were not allowed, it would be clearly stated in the rules. Afk doesn't seem to be a problem in the first place here though, since skills can't be macroed up and the people don't seem to be driven to earn just a couple more gold coins.

Macroing is permitted, but is not encouraged. People who tend to macro quite a bit tend to develop 'connection problems' sometimes, though

why would one marco? what good can it do?

Well there really isnt a lot that would be accomplished with macroing on this shard. On most others, people macro up skills. You could macro resource gathering, but things like tools breaking and a chance of elementals discourage that and prevent it from being too profitable. You could do some crafting, but there's not ton of money in that either. So since afk macroing isn't a lucrative thing around here, it's not done much.
