Post subject:  Hour count on connection and monthly castration
I noticed something odd today. I was logged on a few hours on my mage and finally reached 1000 hours. Then I had to log off because I had to run to the store and buy a few things. In the mean time I had dinner and other things and I wasn't logged in for about four hours. I had typied quit, and turned off my monitor, but my zmud automaticly reconnected and I have it auto log in name but not my password. So it sat there waiting for my password for 4 hours. When I came back I tried to enter it but it had alread expired so zmud reconnected and I logged back on. Now I noticed my hours was at 1004. Basicly I was gaining monthly hours that may or may not help for paragon ship, equipment, leadership whatnot without actually playing and only having my name entered into zmud and my internet on. Looks like a bug to me.

Also, something I reported before and still hasn't been fixxed is containers. The game is currently missing quiet a few of them because inactive characters have continued having them without loss. The monthly castration of inactive characters does not evaluate containers so as everything might be castrated from lvl 20 and above equipment, aswell as that inside the container, the few really good containers in the game go MIA on characters logged on for a few seconds a month.

The monthly updates use a different timer that is immune to that particular problem. I can go ahead and fix it for hours played as well, but I'm pretty sure that statistic is not used for anything.
