Excelsior

Hiya This is Missy. I am at the vs hospital while my father is in I C U unroll the get him off a breathing tube. So was wondering how long til a house decays. If I could log on I would but I can hardly get connected on my kindle .

i believe it's at least 6 months of inactivity before an account can be deleted.

Email colibri at [email protected] . There never was really a written or given by Colibri on accounts under 6 mos to 1 year. But accounts that are over that age usually get 6 mos to login for a refresh. But if you Email colibri he should help.

There was a very specific account/house decay rate given in Excelsior Daily once upon a time:

[by +Colibri on Wed Nov 19, 2008 2:05 pm
1. There will be a house drop (account wipe) on Sunday November 23rd at 6 PM shard time (Noon EST, 9AM PST).

An account gets wiped if:
you have less than 1 hour gametime and havent logged in for over 1 month, or,
you have less than 10 hours gametime and havent logged in for over 2 months, or,
you have less than 100 hours gametime and havent logged in for over 3 months, or,
if you have over 100 hours gametime, and havent logged in for over 6 months.

Please note that these timers may change in the future.]

Most FAQ really have been answered at one point or another; they're just forgotten and buried under years of posts.

All of this sounds great with wonderful explanations and even a quote, but I and anyone who has been here for some time can tell you a house will not decay until Colibri decides to go on a house dropping spree. He recently did a massive cleanup, much needed btw. Of course the nice quote is a great outline of how long before you become eligible to be dropped.

Awesome thanks for the info. Worst case I still have 2Weeks. Hopefully I won't have to speed a month in a waiting room.

You're welcome + best wishes to you and your family. What Cornbread was getting at is that accounts/houses don't get automatically deleted but when +Colibri decides to delete them, he probably still uses the criteria listed to determine who gets the boot. When you get a chance to play again, try to log as much gametime as you can and you'll probably never have to worry about this again.

Hi Missy,

I'm sorry to hear of your father's troubles. I'm sending warm fuzzy thoughts to you and your family.

To put your mind at ease, I checked your account - your decay duration is 180 days and you last logged in 7 days ago. As long as you can log on for 10 seconds or more in the next 173 days, your account and house(s) will be waiting for you.

Thank you Nyx we will be here longer then we hoped . They had to put Dad into a medically induced coma. I have my laptop but net connection is had to keep here.

Kinda home now but will be taking care of My Dad often... We have alot of therapy to do with him .. So I will be on once in a while.

Will you announce as you did toward the top of this forum that "there will be a house drop on Certain day/time" again when it happens? I would like to keep up with this thread. I really want to know if its a castle size or not for purposes. thank you.

They don't generally announce such things....just find new house spots

Yeah I was surprised to wake up from a nap and find my neighbors castle gone. My place is almost as big as cove now!
