Are there character wipes due to inactivity?

Post#1 » Sun Nov 20, 2016 11:58 am

Hi guys,

I have a question to the devs.

I assume there was a wipe many month ago, because my characters lvl30(+?) are gone. It hurts but I just want to ask, whether it was a one time wipe or is there a max duration of inactivity, which leads to a wipe of all characters.

Thanks, the server play now better than ever!

I guess yes but it hurts that all earned event items, currency, leveled chars and stuff is gone. Maybe it was not technically possible but like an email announcement of the name wipe would have been good. :D

We figured if people didn't come back within 4 months of T4 being released, they probably were not going to anyway. We were wrong. No wipes planned for the future, and those would certainly warrant an email.

Mind you, accounts that were wiped stretched back since the beginning of the server. After 3+ years it gets a little messy to carry around thousands of accounts with a dozen+ characters that never made it out of T1.
