As every month, there is again a traditional cleaning of the server database from inactive characters and accounts. Cleanup is also used to speed up the server, stability and mainly to get a real number of players on our server. Again, I remind you that we delete inactive accounts and characters more than 2 months back. If, for example, you are not on the server for two months, you only need to log in to the game account once in a while (less than 2 months) - you do not even have to go directly to the world - you only need to choose the characters, if of course you want to have an account still active (a friend you trust can log in and provide him with login information - but here I will remind you the importance of the rule 7)). We do not make exceptions in deleting, because it is a mass operation and applies to everyone. I also want to warn newcomers that not only inactive characters will be deleted, but also characters who have recorded less than 2 hours of net game time. Newcomers who do not fit into this time can at least start over and take it as a second try. Cleanup automatically deletes accounts without characters. If you have two unauthorized accounts (each has the right to one account), just delete all the characters from the account and the purge will take care of deleting the account. There is no other way to delete the account. Purge is a very demanding server operation and can stretch for several hours, but I believe that the patience of the players will bear fruit. The deletion of inactive characters and accounts will be done before the date:
8.7.2010 00:00:00:
Number of deleted accounts: 3 514
Number of characters removed: 7 079
Number of other optimization processes: 164 745 443
