Wild wheat exits, can one make pie with wild carrots?

I'm almost 99% certain it's play time in another lineage and not an actual timed ban. Just like all rumors people still believe that Eve isn't banned to her own lineage/area which is most certainly false. I'm pretty sure this is one of those things that have been changed in the past that people remember the old rules and pass them on like it was before.

Nowadays I have more of a casual playstyle, I often play a few lives before putting the game down and coming back to it much later.
I definitely remember some odd behavior with that like for example coming back to the game and only being able to spawn in early Eve camps when absolutely no reset took place.
Your post reinforced my doubts and made me unsure enough that I went to check the code.

Turns out you're right.
It's playtime.
This explains SO MUCH.
Definitely explains why the initial area ban distance made things SO BAD.
I remember picking up the game after a break of way more than 1H30 and finding that 4 /dies from Eve camps was enough to get me banned from everywhere.
My eyes are opened! I got redpilled.
The lineage bans must have SO MUCH MORE impact on overall town fertility than I had ever imagined.
This is terrible both for towns and individuals.

From reading the code, you only get unbanned from a lineage if you:

• Play 1H30 in total on other lineages after the ban

  Other lineages aren't just eve camps. 1.5 hrs is acceptable.

• Don't get born back in that lineage for more than 24 hours (A WHOLE DAY)

This is terrible.
This means that people who have a big town playstyle are forced to either wait a whole day or play in Eve camps for 1H30.
That's insane.
I might consider running as a baby once again to avoid having unnecessary bans added to my account. After all, an Eve camp can become a city in a few hours. Why should I wait a whole day to return to it?

Thanks for the impressive smithy, I made so many tools, steel bars and plates there as Ethan Titsworth http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … id=3818621

I was worried about this...

The ones that make sound are an experiment.

Let's see if it blows over.  If not, I may have to do something about it.
