Premium Account timer countdown

[Brayarg]

maintenance does'nt effect it cause you now how long 24+maint time is....so you set count down to that time...unless you cant add up :P
i have been using this method for prem time since i started buying 1 day prem coins i can add maint time to 24hrs cause i learnt how to add at school

Maintenance last a different amount of time, therefore you would need to build a field/well at the end of each maintenance to find out how long it was. Surely the idea here is come away from HAVING to build a field/well to find that out. Therefore the alarm clock wouldn't work as a stand alone idea.

Having a stab in the dark here, but as there must be a clock working server side for all the premium days and single day activated, to give us the premium time message (Days) under our avatar. All that is being asked for here is that feed to be showing in that window for the period of less than one day. As a suggestion it is a good one, and one that would be welcomed I think by all ( No downside) The devs have already implemented timers on buildings etc recently so I think its within there capability....we should just ask nicely, stop bickering amongst our selves as to who has the best alternate or work around, give the idea our support and see what happens

That'd be swell.

Just one major flaw with your suggestion, you need to know exactly when maint started and when it ended.

No... you don't.

I don't know if it holds true for irregular maintenance (such as todays), but premium time is always extended by 8 hours for the regular weekly maintenance... regardless of how long the servers are actually down for... simples!

I cant speak for all of course, Hard to know how people type really. But discussing isn't bickering.

Would not be a very effective system if it only worked with the regular weekly maintenance, people would also need it to work with the irregular maintenance as well, more so as they may not be in a position to know how much to allow for.

Yeah.. but how many people end up popping their one day premium token during the day before in irregular and/or unscheduled maintenance?

I'd wager that number was tiny compared to the number of people who regularly activate their one day of premium at some point during Monday so they can take full advantage well into Tuesday.

I'd wager the vast majority of people who are affected by premium extension as a result of irregular maintenance will be running a week token (or longer) and are not liable to be 'watching the clock' so closely.

When having premium it would be nice to be able to se how long it is left of it. 1 day can be all between 1 min and 23 hours 59 min as it is now. If I build things I can se for how long the extra spot is still there, but having to build something every time I want to see how long there is left on my premium seems wrong...

+1 I have been waiting for a better prem time indicator for ages too - very flawed the way it works now.
