All players who have not logged into the game at least once in the past six months have had their accounts deleted as part of a database cleanup to remove inactive player accounts.

Players who have not logged in since the end of September have had their account removed from the database.

However, players with planets, posts on forums, or more than 1000 points were not deleted. They are safe.

What will happen to remaining planets a player may have ? Is this just happening once or do you intended to clear inactive accounts every 6 months or so ?

If its just a one time thing Emoticon - you have nothing to worry about.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Inactive HWs are incredibly important to the game

...perhaps only those without planets should have accounts deleted?


Prof - Agreed. This change was made, at your suggestion. Thanks. Also, players with posts are safe as well.

Prehaps all resources and defense stay the same and the planet becomes and SP. I recall finding several 30 to 40M SP planets when I first started playing that were just LOADED with resources. Professor do U remember this?..... I know Filas and Andy1218 do cause they gave me the cords Seems a compromise worthy of consideration.

the problem of big SPC planets is that no one will attack them due to 10x less points, so these will become eternal desd HWs. It's better to have these players not be deleted or all planets would be destroyed - SPC HWs won't give anything positive...

yea.. if someone has a certain amount of points maybe their account should stay because they actually played at one point.... the main things i feel should be deleted are accounts that never played past 5 points

Prof --- Agreed. Raised limit to 1000 points, but idea is a valid one. Players with posts also will not be deleted.

How about people with planets over err... say 30 mil should not be deleted?
