I wasn't too sure where to put this and i'm sorry to pop it on the main forums. I was wondering if it was possible to lock or freeze my account so it doesn't decay after the 6 month period? I'm not too sure if i'll be able to login before then. Not 100% sure anyhow.

For anyone interested, summer has been exciting and packed full of $$$ earnings ^__^ I signed 13 months of my life to swift transportation and will be earning a cdl. I'll be back sometime but who knows when that'll be =o I'll be in school and in a truck for the next 2 1/2 months but i wanted to come say hello to everyone here @ ex. You guys are awesome :)

Hello ROK *nudge* someone harass cornbread and devlin for me :P

This is a common question so I best reply here,

There is no way to freeze an account or to make it so it will wipe after more than 6 months. The simplest option is that you ask a family member or a friend, to just go to your computer and log on every few months. Now, if they also have an account of their own then this would technically break the rule about using someone else's account, but if it's really just a quick login and logout ( a few seconds), without doing anything while connected, it's not considered exploiting. And I really mean, log in and log out. No "but i was just going to fetch some bods for my friend since he asked me to".

If you don't have this option, then you could email me directly and i will manually refresh your account. Every few months or so. And it's not something that you could use to keep refreshing it indefinitely, but i suppose if you are away for 13 months, if you send one email in early December and then another in April, that's ok.

I won't be keeping any list of players who want to keep their accounts for a longer time, since if it was a simple matter of requesting it and then it stays for ever, i'm sure that list would fill with accounts, most of which would never be played again.
