Hi to the newcomers! I lurk around these boards a lot - I'm a VV addict! I've found the regulars here very friendly and helpful. The moderators are also very knowlegeable - I got some great technical advice when I hit a glitch! Hope you all stay around because I'm enjoying reading your posts - you seem to have a wealth of knowlege about the game!

On my test villages I have tried to progress thru the puzzles more or less like I would in other games, to at least try to simulate a game that is not for test purposes. For example, I buy Tech in all categories, breed enough to keep the populations above the danger level (about 15) and when I check them, I put villagers who have gone astray back on task.
Still no overaged dead villagers. In fact, in 3 of the 4 villages I checked this morning, after 12 hours of not monitoring them, I found that all had aged only about TEN years, when if all had gone as usual, they would have aged 12 years... one year for every hour at 2X speed.
The only thing I see that may account for that is that there were "events" in most of the villages. Sorry I have not kept track of that. There was a theory published by at least one gamer which stated that everything stops in a village until the gamer acknowledges an event, or perhaps makes a decision. So, perhaps aging stops too? Have you seen this anomaly?

Hello everyone, thanks for the warm welcomes!!! Hi drought, grace,jer, gohill, et al!!! I just left a post on the general discussion board on RA wondering where tink, jimmynexus and dansmot are!!! Also, got a reply from my e-mail to RA. I complained about the closing down of the forum and had asked them if they could at least reinstate the last week of our posts, or something. Anyway, the first reply was that she couldn't see a problem with the forum as she was looking at it and thought it was possibly my connection. I replied that the game had been pulled and everything else with it!! I don't know what she was looking at, but, got two replies today, first acknowledging problem and telling me I'd been "elevated". Now, I'm not too crazy about heights but I suppose a little "elevation" won't hurt, haha!! So, third reply from Mike at Real Networks Level 2 Tech Team, very nice and supportive, he should have been a doctor, great bedside manner, haha!! Well, he said and I quote "that my case had been elevated due to the severity of it", don't you love "tech speak" and that he apologised for any inconvenience, ahhhhh!! Goes on to say, "As I understand this, the VV board is no longer available. I can help you with this. I have reported this to the Real Arcade team for correction as quickly as possible." Love and Kisses, Mike (no he didn't say that last bit, but I know he wanted to,haha!! So, maybe RA will reinstate the board and then again maybe not, it's in the lap of the dogs, sorry, gods, haha!! Just thought I'd share, Best of Irish, Maura

OH... was that YOUR wallet?!?!? I suppose this means you want your money back... As for your question, have not seen that particular anomaly but it makes sense. If everything stops, so would the aging. Started my (test) game again... oldest is now 71 and will check back in about an hour to see if he makes it to 72. Only have 2 elderly, next being 68. My triple masters are as young as 44... double masters are still in their 20's. I'm still curious to see if the ones I didn't push as hard live longer than the ones I did. But, I do put it on pause when I can't check ages every hour or two (they are mean to me here, they only let me out of my straight jacket when I promise to behave.. that's HARD!!). I'm TRYING not to be AS obsessive but... haven't completed Grace's 12 step program for V V addicts. Just can't seem to stop myself from training the little critters.
