What do you mean, there has never been a purge? There was one way back when. I could not tell you the exact date, but it indeed happened. I don't know what exactly transpired, but all of a sudden cities all over the galaxy were hit with citizenship exodus. Perhpaps this was more of a citizenship purge than a character purge.

well i am all for the toon purge. The city i took over is filled mostly with inactive characters houses. I"ve been recruiting a lot of newbs lately(it's easy lol) but i' wouldn't mind clearing out the "dead wood" either.

and i know if they did do the purge, i would get a chance at a shuttleport. because i know some of the cities on tat are just as much a ghost town as mine.

This is a good topic to discuss and player cities should be run by the players giveing the mayor the choice of distroying homes that are inactive and keeping better track of non active players. The cost to maintain our Kauri city ,talus city is risa is way to high the cost is like 400k a week this is way to high for any players we have to donate creditts all the time and hunts just dont work anymore cuase of the low mission payout.. please devs fix this big issue

Did you have enough maintenance in the houses when you left? It's only been recently added that they'll go to condemned status when they run out of maintenance. Before that, they would just poof along with everything inside.

I liked it much better when the houses poofed with everything in it. Perhaps a compromise would be if the accounts were cancelled and houses in the red for lack of maintenance...then they poofed.

Having recently returned to the game, I started playing with some folks on my server and became friends with them. They invited me to join their city and their guild. Unfortunately, because of all of the "deadwood" homes of players that aren't playing anymore, I couldn't find a place in the town to put my house. So I am stuck just outside town. It isn't exactly making me feel welcome.

I agree with the option to give a city Mayor the ability to "kill" a house or structure of someone who has left the game. (Some houses even say "Left the Game" or "I will miss you, but I am canceling my account". How nice is it to see that all over your city.

If the buildings are condemned, they should be able to be "bulldozed" and let new citizens build there instead.

Let's have some ability for Mayor's to "Revitalize" their city and refresh them.

I am all in favor of non active players not counting towards residency as of tomorrow! Absolutely no grace periode! I want a shuttle too!

I think some people dont actually realise what they are saying sometimes. I dont have a problem at all with a purge however we dont know how many people are truely 100% active in a city. Even people who say they have 60 citizens must realise that if just 5 people got wiped they would lose the shuttle chance. So I think that you cant say no to a grace period due to the fact that mayors are unable to tell if anyone is truely active/inactive in a city.

Are you all telling me that on your server there is no more available shuttle port openings on ANY planet, or just not the ONE planet you want?

Well the answer to this would be a feature for maytor to target a structure and issue a remove command. The owner would then recieve an email asking him to claim his property via a command like /claimproperty which give him a deed which when used restored the house (in a new location) with everything intact.

This would

a) cut dead wood for majors

b) allow SOE to pruge more safely and therefore save more database space.

This could also apply to condemed buildings and harvesters as an automatic feature (cleaning the landscape up), everything would still be stored just not in the game world.

i am completely for a purge of inactive accounts, myself (the last of the founding members of my city still active) and our mayor have been planning on taking the drastic step of forming a new city for our current active players and disbanding the old, just because the city is cluttered with so many derelict houses of unplayed characters (in fact i was looking on this forum for a 'maping' program or some such so we could design our new city )

have we any more details of what will be involved or even a rough time frame for this happening?
