Do you know how it will be reacted to? By people setting movement when they
login. And if they are the "non-lightweight" players as you call them, they
will just cancel movement later.. Or wait, are you going to suggest that
movement cannot be change once set next? Then we might as well remove travel
next. Because those who _can_ login again will do the above. Let the game
decide who should travel, when he should travel and where!

Yes that was an extreme outlook but the entire part of the "strategy" in the
game is to work around these issues. People being less active, some more and
some very much. Enforcing such rules will only diminish strategic
superiority.

And you know what might also happen? People logging in as late as possible
to try and best make do of the situation, which will in turn make the game
do what? Dictate logins
