Character Pruning

Post by **Henhouse** » 29 Oct 2008, 22:50

In these course of events that have taken place within the past few days it has become obvious to us that if this error were to ever happen again to the server, ohhh lets say --- 1 year. There will be about 60,000-100,000 characters by that time, in which restoring if needed would take around 2.5-4 weeks to restore. Since this is becoming a big issue I've decided to implement character pruning once the server is back and I have made the script for it.

No, it probably won't affect you if your reading this right now since it's meant for inactive people. This is what it'll do:

Any account that has not been logged into for 3 MONTHS will be deleted along with all its characters. Pretty simple right?

Pretty good ideal Hen, & should also save some time if this where to ever happen again.

Small Question thou,

Have a Donor Account / Character & Couldnt play for a couple of months (3 Months + for example) & come back after that time & your Account is deleted, would they be able to get it back if they where to provide you with proof that they had Donated for that Character / Account?

Hope it made sense, didn't really know how to put it.

Probably but it'll be annoying if like 100 people contact me because they didn't play.
