Alternate characters "alt"

Postby Sereno » Fri May 10, 2013 2:59 am

I believe the alternate characters are necessary, but it is also understandable that the massive creation character can alter the performance of the servers I propose:

1. allow delete characters in the main menu of characters.
2. characters who have not bought with money objects have a period of 3 months of inactivity before being deleted. (who have been bought with money can not be deleted)
3. for the main characters but inactive, the option "vacation mode" would allow him between 5-6 months, which could be increased by just logging on and put back "vacation mode"

This would help the players and to the performance of the servers, I hope serve something thanks.

How exactly do characters not logged in effect the performance of a server?

Your idea doesn't really fix the problem at all since they can just go into vacation mode every 5-6 months. Sooner more then likely since they are used as storage. Your idea really doesn't fix anything but makes it a minor inconvenience to keep alts.

I think if it is a problem: For gamers, Have so many alt inactive in an account.

For servers in any way affect and this is an improvement

Please avoid just quoting text and not adding anything else of your own. It's just extra page space that need not be there since it's already been said. If you agree, say so with your own words.

I believe since loftar proved the OP wrong this thread should prolly be closed.
