[Suggestion] Inactivity players & free nicknames

[jepz]

Hello!
I've registered here when server had online like it shows on index page (about 10ppl), nothing worked, you could only use couple of skills in t1. But it was 2 years ago! Many people registered, created characters with cool nicknames and left this project, they will never come back.

So i have a suggestion:
If there are long-time (1.5 year for example) inactive accounts with characters on it lower than ~11RR (by this filter we will get like 1-2-3-4 lvl characters, who looked RoR for couple hours and uninstalled) - delete this characters and leave account empty. So new players or fresh-starters can take cool nicknames and collect more skulls for the skull throne!!!!

all we need its TOTAL (war) WIPE.

Why should I relvl all my chars again they all are nearlly lvl 40 with some decent gear ? Relvling same chars again will be pain. I don't believe the wipe will happen.

Geni wrote something on this topic not long ago:

Several months ago, I did actually look into wiping the characters of any account that had not logged in within the last year.

The problem was, the game saves your last-logged time when you log out not when you log in. This is the better way to do it, as there could be an edge case where a player last logged in 366 days ago, but remained logged in for another 3 days straight. Sure, it's an unlikely and ridiculous edge case, but you don't mess around when deleting characters, especially those of players whom have committed no crime save than to become too disinterested or busy to play.

Anyway, the game saves the last-logged time when you log out. Which means it saves nothing if you crash. There are thousands if not tens of thousands of characters whom have been played very recently, but their last interaction with the server ended when their game crashed. So as a result, the last-logged time could not be considered reliable enough to use for wiping.

I don't remember if I changed that or not, but even if I did, it would take another year before we could get enough metrics to consider wiping again.

Oh, should search forum before(

So will a DoK named Arthic listed in the Armory (which also says has NEVER been played) prevent me from creating an IB named Arthic?

yes

but we already did a Inactive and Perma Banned name purge.

I was asking about it for a while and I think MagicThighs helped make it happen for us.

have to be undersood that a lot of ppl are reserving name only waiting the game to move from alpha to beta, now how much this is corretly and they should or not have this privilege with out had contribuited nothing is another question..btw if i got right there was alredy a wipe of lv 1 never played etc but i could be wrong, but i belive it was alredy some soft wipe for something like that.
