I used to play this game when it first came out. I bought lots items from the store from memory. I see the name of my old character in accounts but when playing game he is not active and i don't seem to be able to inherit anything from my time back then. When the game was taken over was all items purchased lost or/and characters? If not how can i get them back?

items can be lost in the game. If this was a long time ago, then likely your base has since been raided/leanto looted. The items are, in that case, gone. Any items you never claimed can still be gotten from the postmaster. This disclaimer is rather clearly stated on the store pages.
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.

I had a great base at the time. Yes I'm aware of the full loot perma death gameplay however i thought inheritance that as in then would have given me something back?

Aside from skills and bikes the only other thing you will inherit is silver, which will be in the bank if you have any.

and for the reference, you only inherit that silver if you had put it in the bank before you stopped playing.
Technically, you aren't inheriting it because the bank is linked to the account and not the character. potayto potahto.

You say "he is not active". So you cannot log into him right? That's what happened to my character that was left alive on Popham. Once that server was shutdown, the character name shows up on the log in screen but no amount of clicking will log in and I'm unable to inherit. Are you sure your character is located on Providence? That is the only remaining server atm. In the case that your character was on any other server other then Providence, then yes everything is lost.

If he's on Providence the only thing to inherit is the property and what's in the bank. The property can be lost when someone smashes your claimstone or domains over it.
