You might as well try to get blood from a stone.


Did that once, the trick is cracking the stone over someones head. If it doesn't work, you didn't use enough force.

Tried this on fran's. Nothing came out. I'm speculating as to whether there was anything in there in the first place.

Exclamation points. You saw them, but since they're everywhere around Fran, you didn't notice. Which is amusing in itself, for being pretty much the exact opposite of what an exclamation point is supposed to do.

I am pretty sure Fran is the exception that proves the rule.

would be interesting to see how they would handle restoring an old toon when someone is playing a current toon with the same name, did anyone actually try to use any of the deleted toons names on throwaway accts?

It gets restored with a -1 after the name.

It's people stealing old names, the accounts aren't getting restored.   Cordovan said as much in ysterday's Twitch stream.

What you have now is what you'll have going forward.

Of course we can always trust everything cordo says in a twitch stream. That is absolutely a solid and reliable source of information.

Nuked is one think from the ban  they will still come back. I tried adding a guildy yesterday but said did not exist, tried today showed them guildless and level 1  they are to many of my guild mates that were nuked. But no way the names from these people can taken by other people.

that is exactly what happens when a name gets taken. the person rolls a lv 1 toon that isnt in a guild.

deleted, fam. hate to break it to you.

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.ďż˝ Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.ďż˝ They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

Cordo gave out information on the ban in his Steam https://www.twitch.tv/videos/236205835 around 56:45
I am paraphrasing:
If your ban is off, the state of your characters is what it is. If you are missing some, they got deleted. But some just got rolled back. And with some the odds are good that there will be no change. It is unlikely that CS will do more.
So three possibilities after ban:
1) deleted
2) rolled back
3) untouched.

Maybe "grindingnpounding" since it's no longer past tense for your toon.  Grin

So, those who didn't get deleted, did they remove any past lives?

Used thing between 8 and 10 times on one toon before I got bored.
No past lives gained, none removed. The toon survives.

I believe the criteria for deletion was ‘used more than a dozen times’ or something to that effect.

Cheesy

No, because we had other people who got deleted for using it once.

The criteria seems to be "whatever the rep doing the deleting felt like"

Would not surprise me in the least.

Professionalism seems to be a word left out of their dictionary.
