Account lifetime

Post by Reskal »

Hi there,

as the topic says, is there a possibility to keep an account longer then the usual time ? Because when i make a break from UO, my acount would be deleted after a while, which would be annoying. For example for paying enough ED and i would have my account after 1 or 2 years still, when i return from a longer break ?

I dont believe so, however i had a time when i couldnt play for a while, i signed in once for about 5 minutes and then continued on my break. Account was saved. Just sign in every few months and you should be ok. But the times are pretty generous.

i dont know it but i often see players who wrote in the chat the they played some years ago on this server and there houses are still placed and never decayed. so it will be the best choice to ask the support ingame to get an 100% answer. maybe i miss it to read in the rules but i dont remember that i read anything about deleting accounts after some months or years.

If im not mistaken you can even just email an admin to log in for you. I believe its 6 months before you are deleted unsure but email can be done from phone with reminder not sure if they would add the feature you request hope this helps.

My understanding is that the more hours you've played on the shard, the more time your account is granted before being deleted. This is a more sensible way to do it rather than to have the same inactivity limit for both the person who logs in once for five minutes to look around, and the person who devotes a year of hard work to develop a decent position in the game.

the idea is cool, but i would make it that way if someone isn't playing for like 6 months, their house should be deleted or placed in a bankbox, maybe even a deed with whole house and belongings.
why? i travel around the world, almost every map is full of houses, some of they are huge, taking lots of place. almost inpossible to place big houses for new players.
if someone isn't playing, i don't see the point, his house should be there.
