PSA: Deleted characters are starting to reappear
Mar 5th, 2018 at 11:31pm
Print Post  
On GLand several previous characters who were deleted within the last week have begun to reappear.

This seems to indicate that the characters were not deleted as previously thought but were moved to a subsidiary server to be scrubbed of past lives.  Whether all the deleted toons will be reinstated or only the less egregious offenders remains to be seen, (thanks for providing clear and obvious communications between you and the player base SSG).

Or it could just that other people decided to make toons and named them after the deleted ones thus taking the names from the cheaters.

I'm relatively certain that he wouldn't be announcing this if the deleted characters on his friends list were reappearing as random level 1s or iconics instead of the classes/races they were prior to deletion.

is definitely interesting all the same. Wonder if they also scrubbed their gear for signs of duping?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Alright, let's see if I can post here and not get labelled as a sock (again).

You are giving SSG too much credit. You think turdbin has some concept of a 'subsidiary server'. Yeah right. That kind of thing is beyond their capacity. It would require planning and foresight.

I know for a fact that some of the deleted toons on Cannith had people immediately making level 1 toons with those names just to make SURE they never come back.

The last guy to post on the thread is one example.

*Rawr!*
I'm in the banned with no e-mail and no deleted toons category. None yet.

And holy hell did I exploit before this. Guildies with ILoveExploits, that righteous bitch. It's our guild motto, we live and die by that shit.

I once got so bored of exploiting that I took a break from the game for 1 year because all we ever did was log on and dupe shit.

It’s most likely the accounts that have gotten a 7 day suspension being placed in prep for that being lifted. If your toon isn’t back then it means you have a 30 day suspension most likely.

And if it’s not back by 30 days then......

That's not making sense based on the ones I'm seeing, like 1 toon from an account that got 5 banned.

Sending email to banned accounts is hard.

Who can tell what their final plan is. But it seems reasonable that if your character is back in some form you most likely won’t be suffering a deletion.

The lack of communication is probably intentional so as to make people sweat it out and for some of the players to show themselves out.

Good theory but I doubt SSG has it's shit together enough to pull that off. The lack of communication is mostly likely because the whole thing is a giant shitshow and nobody can pull their heads out of their asses long enough to send a damn email.

If they WERE organized enough to consider a course of action like that someone at the meeting would probably point out that the strategy is fucking terrible for player-retention. Without communication, most are going to assume the deletion is permanent and move on to other things.

They're too busy making artificers the new healers in reaper and nerfing druids to no end.

it's time to, anyway. counting reaper points is the only thing left in the game. I'm finna become a blade and soul, ff14, eso master. join a game with an actual population. you know, like, with more than 20 people per server. one where they have dps tests/meters/gear scores. so people named vish and feynman can know that they're bad instead of making me tell them and now i'm the badguy for doing it.

What are you planning to go to, Rubbins? I'm on the lookout for another game as well and can't figure out what to try. I gave Tera a go but got bored fast. Might look Blade and Soul over again...

Same here. I would advise to wait a day or two, and try to get word from SSG before making any rash decisions that a few people have seemed to have done.
