Title: Time flies in offline mode: potions don't last, taxes due too soon
Reproduction Rate:
Blocker? yes
Details: I have been playing the offline game every day for about two weeks, and when I pay my lot taxes on my row lot, I seem to always owe taxes again too soon. In the online game, when I pay my tax for 10 days it is for 10 real life days. In the offline game, when I pay my tax for 10 days it seems the very next day I owe 200g for past taxes.

In the online game, an Obsidian potion is good for 7 days. I swallowed an Obsidian potion of Capacity yesterday or the day before and today it had already worn off.

EDIT: Today I logged into the offline game and paid for 10 days taxes on my Row Lot in Central Brittany) so that both the row lots (the other one is in Ardoris) would have the same expire date. I did this for easier tracking of how time is passing in the game. After paying taxes both lots showed 0 Past Due and 23 Days Remain. I logged out after doing that. Later the same day I logged back in and the Central Brittany lot had lost 10 days. Now it is back to 13 Days Remain.

Please fix this!


Same day, a few hours later. Now I owe tax again. If this is by design, the design is the worst I have ever seen. I have no desire to continue playing the offline game until this is fixed.
