Well... anything with UP of 1, that has not been logged into for more than 4 weeks, and army size below 5k, delete.
Want names? Crusnik and Whitefire.

This thread is about attracting attention to the problems associated with the having so many inactive accounts, not rampant speculation from every man and his animal about what the criteria should be...

Lets continue with discussion, and not more "Oh... I know...", or "How about ...." statements.
Many ideas have merit, however they are not going to attract the admin, it certainly wouldn't attract me. Which really must be the goal now...

This discussion should be a prime thread in the 'admin only' forums, and it's that thread we need to stimulate.

You mean a group of post by some players repeated in exact same order? Happend since Tokra got deleted from forums, at least I noticed at that time.

New players wouldn't be touched as my suggest was for last loging longer than 30-35days...oh well let's say 2 monthes!

Inactive accounts:

ID < 50k ==> army size < 2.5k
ID <100k ==> army size < 1k

Plenty of them I would say...

Don't dry the server!! :lol:


That would kill all the new players as well. Lol. I wouldn't specify army size or rank. Just delete accounts that haven't been logged in to for over a month or two and that aren't on vacation mode.

if that had come into place my account would have been deleted

people return to this game remember

That's why I ALWAYS disagree on time thing...EXCEPTED for accounts which have been created then never/almost not (1 or 2x maximum) been logged on [again] (the total inactive ones like forum accounts registered then never used again).

Hence my suggestion of targetting special features:

Don't you remember these loads of account with under 3k army size and producing like less than 2naq/turn? It must have been like 1.5 years ago they existed then poof after asking admin for it they all disappeared! (there was over 4000 of them)

admin isnt likely to make NPCs... simply because it is very hard to make... he'd need to make lots of original coding... which would be much work to get bug-free...

true but if he did make it work

it would be awesome then you'd have to worry about unpredictable NPCS who have no NAPS
