People not playing after latest updates?

I'm not sure how accurate the "logged in" from the origin friend list is.
I recently wanted to see if friends logged in-One said last logged in 2 months ago-

But when I visited that town they had 8 hr tasks running-no characters hanging around and most rent taken.
I would like to remove some of my friends- I don't get enough visits and want to add additional players, but don't want to remove a reliable player.

I just got my cousin to start playing. When he added me it said I hadn't played in 4 days, but I play several times a day and was even playing right before he added me.

Although I had many high level friends, after whacking day I wasn't getting any visitors. I added about 10 new friends from the add me thread. They were mostly level 15 and under, they've been visiting. I think a lot of the higher level folks don't feel like they need to bother with it anymore.

Got to admit if I have had a busy day visiting is pretty low on my list of things to do. I try to visit everyday but I only if I have time (real life beats the game) and it's been 24 hours since my last visit when I have time to visit.

It could be different for people who have invested money into the game. Many probably have stopped caring, though.

Oh yes indeed, i've only spent about as much as a decent PC game on this game and the principle reason I dont spend more is it probably wont be up to me when I stop playing. I would be very annoyed if I had spent £100+ and it stopped working, £30 no bother.

No matter though, if I hadn't played for a couple of months and I did pick it back up I wouldn't be bummed out if people had pruned me while I was away, you can always re-add them if they become active again. Think whacking day drove quite a few people away, although I certainly get a good amount of people visiting me, putting in more effort than I am visiting friends anyhow ;) Give it a bit for the WD tedium to be forgotten, people will come back.

I've been playing since damn near the beginning. Give the newbies a break. If they're on a forum trying to make friends and further their game awesome. But if I go into delete/ add friends and it says they haven't played for more than a week I delete. Unless I know them in real life.
