    Hey guys! Many of you may notice that once your playtime (/pi) hits 30 days, it begins to slowly decline instead of going past that amount. Now, personally I find this quite annoying as I see playtime as quite an achievement and seeing it incline is quite satisfying

    Why should we remove the decreasing playtime?
    This could be done in many ways, they could add months for which have value of 30 days each being the average amount of days in each month, or they could just keep the days going. I know that after I reached 30 days, I felt like I had achieved a big goal and I wanted to see how much further I could go... I was later to realise that my playtime was instead decreasing after this milestone. I'm not 100% sure the best solution for this cause but I believe that somehow stopping the decrease in playtime after 30 days would be a good idea

    Let me know what you think!

    My playtime on economy has went to 30 days, down to 0 days, then BACK TO 30 DAYS then 0 and now its roughly 6 days?
    id rather be able to say "oh I have 2 months odd played" instead of that mess ^ so this fix works! I like it :D

    I'd rather not have others see the embarassing amount of time I have spent playing Skyblock. It's way too much. :oops:

    To be fair they could always add a /playtime hide command or something?
    id like more commands like this, stuff that doesn't really matter with inclusions or not but still nice additions to give the players more freedom in what their profile shares out to the rest of us.

    I'm going to have to agree with the idea of having more control over your personal profile, however, I think having /playtime visual to all people is quite useful. It is often also used to find an applicant's activity and hiding it may cause issues. Aside from that, I support the idea of having more control!

    actually hiding the information could look quite shady good point, still for the people that absolutely 100% want to hide it they should be allowed too still yaknow? plus staff could still bypass whatever they wanted too since they can and will for everything else.

    There is a possibility that they might have to wipe our playtimes in the state they are in, but id rather everyone have a cleaned playtime from now than a confusing one for the rest of time.

    Definitely support. Like others have stated above there should be optional commands potentially to have more control over your own amount but make it so it`s not very annoying to deal with :)

    Similar to what sly said, I’m not sure how recoverable the actual playtime is based on the fact that it is in code and if the code is telling it to count backwards, it’s going to count backwards. This might even be an unknown bug that is being brought to attention, who knows?

    I'm not sure if i support or not *facepalm* i feel ashamed of how high my playtime is lmfao

    But do you mean it will just always show 30 days when it's way higher or will it go back to 0 if you reach 30 (like sly kind of said)

    I guess i'll say i support

    As soon as you reach 30 days of playtime, it starts going down until it hits 0, it then goes back up to 30 and so on and so forth

    Thank you very much! Will it display it as a month? Each worth 30 days? Or will it just increase the days
