PLEASE REMOVE INACTIVE PLAYERS

[Teelur]

I originally started playing on a server solo, until i realized i like this game and wanted my buddy to join me. So i got him to play, but he couldn't join my server :\ (shocker) so i told him to join one and I'll just join him and start fresh again (i was lvl 20 at this point but oh well).

Fast forward 3-4 days, me and my buddy are now nearly lvl 40 and I have another friend I want to join us. Guess what? SERVER FULL.

So basically, if a server has been running for more than a couple days, it's most likely full and telling your friends about the game is useless because you can't play together.

There needs to be some sort of system that weeds out the inactive characters. Hell, even the first character I made when I was playing solo is probably taking up a slot on the old server I was in.

My idea would be:
- Check if the player has a character on multiple servers. If yes, then check the playtime and last-played-date of each server. If the player hasn't played on (x) server in (x) days, the character gets deleted.

how difficult is this to do?

Trust us, in about 2 weeks you won't have any problems getting into servers.

Its kinda dumb but I dont get why people dont all just make a char day 1 together. If you dont do this in a lot of modern games you're just SOL.

wait the wipe is in 2 weeks ?

[blackfang31]

cus i am expecting a loss of player base once in wipes granted we have etherland but its not the same

[Cheshire]

on some servers maybe, mine is still in phase 2, so 4 weeks for us, after phase 6 ends.

[blackfang31]

Still will, tbh. The only way this can be solve is if they boot inactive players, since all the slots are taken.

They should give us also an option to delete characters. My first one was built clumsily, when discovering the game , so I created another one and the first is still there inactive.

My internet went out while I was about to give my new character a name. Now he's permanently called 'Name Character' If we could delete our own characters, that would also help a little bit with the overcrowding.

Then think about it what if you work for 2 weeks now your character is gone. So I don't see them deleting inactive characters.

As not everyone can play game every day. No one can tell if a player is inactive it just speculation.

Instead of trying a way to delete characters (which would be good ngl) or delete inactive players (not good), the better choice would be allowing players to transfer their characters to another server, that would help people playing together..

Please ask they to add character deletion first.
