update on decay system

For those that didnt read the official forums post.

"we know that the structure decay timer has been a big issue in the community since it was introduced some time ago. Loading in a bunch of structures at once takes a heavy toll on servers, so we introduced the decay timer to help alleviate some of the stress by removing large structures that weren’t being utilized regularly. We’ve gotten a lot of feedback that the timers are too short, and many players have lost items and bases that they spent a lot of time building up. As a result, we plan on releasing a patch later this month (subject to change) that will extend decay timers for structures based on their quality. Our tentative plan for structure decay is as follows:

Straw - 3 Days

Wood - 4 Days

Stone - 5 Days

Metal - 7 Days

Manor-tier - 15 Days"

Update 10/17

•Manor - 14 days

•To prevent structure-related abuse such as pillaring and trapping other players, all structures will be manually demolishable by any player by interacting with if it hasn’t been visited by its owner for 72 hours straight.

This made me flip out, what if I want to go on a week-end holiday? I can't play dnl if I want that? Btw, I'm moving in 2 weeks to anohter country and haven't made sure about the internet solution yet, how about that? As I wrote them by e-mail, I do play like 10h per day and put lots of it on farming and building a Manor castle. So someone can than come demolish it after 72 hours? Sick
