A small question

You click into his name, and nothing will appear.
Why so? Just curious.
I only know these status:
- Inactive, (or not working, or trapped, whatever you call it):
Blocked/Jailed
- Working (Meaning the account is totally "okay" for use):
Online/Offline
But what is that? It's like the account was totally deleted so that you can't even see it.
Thx. |
Even his logs are not visible. |
When the merge happened, some old blocked accounts (including my former main character) were dumped instead of migrated. Some names have been freed since. |
The account has been deleted |
I mean:
Then they could just Delete all who ask for Block BOW, to leave the nickname free for another player.
And since 99% of the accounts that don't work have been Blocked/Jailed, and not Deleted (note that it's not the same), it surprises me that there is a deleted account, and it makes me curious. |
this is not the only deleted account, a lot of accounts have been deleted |
Then they could just Delete all who ask for Block BOW, to leave the nickname free for another player.
Probably by using BOW, you can get unblocked if you want to return to the game. And if an account blocked for BOW is deleted, it would lead to no chances of the person returning to the game. |
They probably deleted those blocked so long ago that no one would be interested in things like their transfer logs. And I assume they were all deleted together, not decided individually.
Beyond already mentioned reasons (i.e. wanting to return to the game after a BOW), there is interest in the activity of some blocked characters, especially recent ones, as it aids in the investigation of rule breaking activities of other players.
I am sad that when I first joined the game, the nickname I wanted wasn't available. Now it is, but I cannot change to it (without diamonds). |

They removed hundreds of thousands of level 1s ;) Characters of higher levels will not be deleted at all - They have impacted upon the game too much and there may come a time when those accounts need to be reviewed.

i know some players who got blocked before merge and they still are visible tho. and yes,i lost like 40+ level 1 referals who didnt play for years. |
My very first account is deleted. |
Every now and again, admins delete accounts up to CL3, if inactive for too long.
At the time of the merger, accounts of inactive players of CL5 and below were deleted (i.e., not migrated with database).
BOW blocks do not lead to deletion. Once a player takes up a name (a "nick"), it's his forever (theoretically). |
