Deleting Unused Generated Characters

Renegade Avatar · Post by **Renegade Avatar** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 12:28 am

OOC: I have 4 characters made but am only interested in one. I would like to know how to get rid of the other 3 since they are just slack and wastes of space. I know there is supposed to be a 3 month waiting period per character, just want to know if there is a faster way.

Just wait out the 90 days and they will disappear. That way involves no input from the team so it is the easiest way.

I know that characters are suposed to be deleted after 90 days, but I have a char that has not been used for more than 90 days and still shows up for me to play.

Is there any except to this rule? Like have something reset, maybe the database or sever, that restarts the 90 ticker.

maybe you got horribly drunk, had sex with your ex, logged in with your unused PC, and pissed on your neighbor's clothes line one night? stranger things have happened.

Stranger things have happened to you perhaps, that stuff never happened to me, not even close.

I think it more likely that the cleanup script was stalled and restarted unscheduled. The thing is powered by the WinXP scheduler iirc, so I wouldn't be surprised.

One of my first two mistakes took over 90 days to dissapear. More like 100 I think but it did go eventually. The other...

I'm pretty sure I didn't do the last few things on the list, but drinking is bad for avoiding login mistakes. I screwed up the first time right around the 90 day mark. Then there was last weekend... Think I'll stay sober for a few months just to get rid of the damn thing.

I wouldn't recommend anything so drastic. I suggest just staying away from Avlis when you drink.
