Title: Excessive "dummy" characters
Post by: Jupiter on September 26, 2012, 06:52:14 PM
I went through the list of players on Pandora (via the mail system) and i saw hundreds of players with names such as "afafdsgse" and "ddskseitrhg". I can only assume these players were created as test characters or to get something from a new character that they couldn't get themselves. A few of them i could understand. But there was hundreds! I imagine all these dummy characters must be a strain on the server, so if you have one of these characters that you never use or forgot you even created, be kind, delete that dummy.

We will prune all inactive accounts eventually; most likely those that have not been used in over 6 to 12 months.

I always thought it would be a good idea to prune accounts. set the houses to IDOC and such. alot of stuff will get deleted alot of materials that are in houses owned by people who longer play will get deleted or put back into the game and they will go down resulting in getting mining and lumberjacking put back to normal. (would be awesome :P ) I see chests on steos that weigh thousands of "stones" all the time.

I love how you said "stones" in quotations, I never understood why a Dagger would weigh as much as 14lbs, the equivalent to a seriously overweight newborn baby, haha.

Yep, please set all these non used houses and storage rooms to IDOC, give us the chance to take profit and put back Harvesting to normal. Mining and especially Lumberjacking don't make sense at the moment, just takes TOO long to get any good stuff.

I'll put a WMD in the middle of them all and set the clock to 3 day count-down, when it goes off, the houses will turn to dust hahaha...


Not really.
