Ok, wasn't sure whether to put it here or in the newbie section. If it needs to be moved feel free mods.
Question is the following, how is it that certain persons when god quested have:
"Main Realm Worshipper:"
and thats it, no name, nothing. I've seen "deleted__X", I've seen "Search as you may, you cannot find the target on this plane. Maybe they took a vacation." I'd never seen it being blank...
Anyone know how that happens?

I would guess they have deleted the main account, that's the only thing i can think of short of a database error, lol.

I thought about that, but why would there be some people with "deleted__$name" and then some with "blank". Its true, it could be a deleted account, but why the difference?
After finding this individual I have randomly godquested a number of individuals and found a couple other with "blank", several with "deleted__$user", several where it shows up fine, and several with the "search as you may, etc". So far I haven't found any correlations...

Yeah, i know what you mean, they do usually show up with deleted in the name, maybe it was deleted so long ago that it's been removed from the database completely rather than being flagged as deleted, but still technically part of the database...
I'm clutching at straws tbh, lol, it's definately a strange one...

well, that option makes as much sense as anything. I'm hoping that someone will have a definite answer though.

If you can make it to an Admin meeting that will be your best chance to find out. Unless someone else has a spark of insight you'll need admin/gamemod to say for sure
