This is a really odd one.
About 9h ago I bid 100 gold on the Lost City of Atlantis. I come back about 4h later to check on it and maybe bid more if someone else has outbid me (only 13 players in the game in total).
To my amazement I find that the countdown time for the auction is about the same as when I left it. Even weirder is that everything else in the market is about the same. But I'm so tired that I'm just happy that there suddenly is more time somehow, and go back to to bed.
I come back yet again about 4h later, and behold, it's the same trippy experience all over again. The auction timer has barely moved, the other things in the market has shifted their prices only one step up or down if they have shifted at all. And when I check the event log, nothing has happend in the last 8-9h when I have been away. Not a single thing, noone has logged in, no events has passed, not even the years has passed for what it should in this time frame.
It's seems like when I go away, the game pauses, and unpauses when I return. Just like a singleplayer game.
