Can anyone help me?

They mentioned some time ago about purging all characters older than 6 months. We had someone place a mall in our city and then vanish. They just told someone they might be back after JTL comes out. We dont want to have vendors vanish if they purge his character and all his lots.

Does anyone remember this?

Know when it is?

Has there been any mention lately?

Is it after JTL comes out? or the next patch?

anyone?

Heres the thread you were asking about. I have trouble with clicky's. The In Live section of the forums. And, no announcement yet on the purge. Look at that thread everyday waiting.

As far as I can remember it was announced they'd start doing character purge Mid-October and every month thereafter if an account hadn't been active for 6 months. One of my friends just came back about the same time I did. Only she was getting ready to get deleted and I wasn't since this is a fairly new account yet. So, as far as I know, it's already being put into works and the deletion of old emails seems to support that they are going through with this. I think it's to make the game run a little more smoothely. We'll see how it goes from here.

My expectations...

All characters with multiple residence will lose -all- their residences and have to choose one.

Mayors with multiple residence will lose their cities. They will flock to the politician forum, hysterical. There will be nothing we can do for them.

All accounts that have been inactive for six months or more will have their characters removed from the resident list.

All characters that have been deleted will be removed from the resident list.

However...

=None= of their structures will be removed.

We will be faced with a drastically lower number of residents, and very little space to do anything about it.

Please forward this to the DEV team to try to avoid these problems.

Please forward it again when the problems show up anyway.

wow, if old characters are removed as citizens yet their empty houses remain...that would be horrible. Could make many cities collapse due to the lack of space to replace citizens. That would be a very bad move and would ruin things for a lot of people

If this happened it would be the oposite of a fix, it would be taking a bad situation and making it worse.

Indeed, but not the first time eh?

Actually, it's been referred to as a "structure purge" rather than a "character purge" when they have talked about it. It's a slightly different incarnation that what they had planned to do last October. It's designed to target the structures of cancelled or deleted characters rather than the characters themselves. At least that's my understanding of it.

I can understand why they don't really want to purge the actual charaters - with many players being active military and depolyed overseas - how P.O.ed would you be if you came back to the game and found everything you worked for was gone...

Gosh I hope the structure purge is soon.... I have over9 condemned structures in my city.

I think the Structure Purge will have something to do with the Pack up House option comming soon. So when [if] old players come back they can replace their home with everything as they had it.

No no no no no... that's not what it is about at all! It would only purge their name from the resident list in player cities.

The first two months after release I danced to the tunes of Aziz, one of the first master musicians on Kettemoor. Only for two months though. His unit shipped out to Afganistan...

The name is still on my friend list and if it ever lights up as being on game... everything else drops a priority level.
