Every time I go off for a few hours and then come back on, the time for the statue to be finished hasn't gone down at all like they only work on it when I watch them do it. I have 9 villagers working on it. And I have about 12 hours until it is done. And if they only work on it when I'm playing then it will take forever to get it done and I don't like sitting here and just watch my villagers sit there and every few minutes the statue moves a little bit. Is it a glitch or is this happening to everyone?

There's an entire thread devoted to discussion of problems with the statue - look here.

Oh, sorry.lol
