Title: Long gone, seemingly, forever gone...
Post by: Grazgorn on July 15, 2006, 04:22:08 pm
Hello all dear Covians!

It has been too long! The last time anyone heard from me was half a year ago. And also I left without a word. For that I apologize. However, my intent was to inform you of that. I had come to a phase where there simply was no time left for UO, and my ICQ has malfunctioned. Lost password, and the page to fix that never worked... Strangely enough.

I was also going to post it in the forum that I would quit for a while. But I thought "I'll do it tomorrow" and then all of sudden I had forgotten all about it.

Then after two months I was thinking of returning, and searched for my characters on MyUO and the guild rooster. But noone of my characters where there. I didn't lay much thought to that because I was certain that I would not return. But now half a year later I am thinking of returning again. But before I reactivated my account I wished to investigate my account again. But the same mystery occured again. My characters simply doesn't exist. Not even on MyUO could I find them. It said "You have no character with this name on this shard"... OR something...

So I turned to EA to ask them. After 72 hours and one update of my question they finally resolved it... My question was if characters on an inactive account is invisible to the public or if they simply have been deleted of some reason. They answered that they can't guarantee that characters on an account that has been inactive for 90 days will still exist. Strange? It is to me. My only option is to reactivate and see for myself... But it looks dark... Very dark.

So do anyone of you know if characters on an inactive account are rendered invisible until it once gets active?

If that is not the case and my characters are gone, Grazgorn will not return. And that would be sad. I crave roleplaying!

Thanks for your patience.
The deceased Grazgorn *sobs*

Uh.

They take your characters off MyUO if you don't play them within thirty days. It's a pretty common practice. It says so on MyUO if you look carefully.

In fact - your character is still ON the BoC stone. So I'm very strongly inclined to say he still exists.

Cheers,

Octiovus.

If so that saved me some millions... I am quite certain though that my house is gone... And foolishly I kept a lot of equipment there. Perhaps it is still there. I've heard people that have been inactive far longer than me and yet their houses were there when they returned. I'll receive my VISA on wednesday, so I might reactivate my account by then.

Time will tell...

Take care!
