Yup, here's the solution. The problem was that the time was never actually
updated upon saving, like it is in stock. So when Sammy wrote the ascii pfile
system, he forgot to write in these two lines to update the played time.
Therefore, it was never updated.
Find these lines in db.c save_char() :
fbprintf(fl, "Brth: %d\n", ch->player.time.birth);
fbprintf(fl, "Plyd: %d\n", ch->player.time.played);
fbprintf(fl, "Last: %d\n", ch->player.time.logon);
Replace them with :
fbprintf(fl, "Brth: %d\n", ch->player.time.birth);
ch->player.time.played += (long) (time(0) - ch->player.time.logon);
ch->player.time.logon = time(0);
fbprintf(fl, "Plyd: %d\n", ch->player.time.played);
fbprintf(fl, "Last: %d\n", ch->player.time.logon);
