In order to free up system resources and inactive names, Aardwolf will
archive inactive accounts from time to time. The rules used to determine
which characters get archived are:
* Any character that has reached tier level or earned more than 10,000
quest points over the life of their character is never archived.
* Any character with the RIP, Helper, Advisor or Banned flag is
never archived.
* Excluding the above two groups, any characters that have not logged
onto Aardwolf in more than 5 years are archived.
* Characters offline between 2 and 5 years that have not reached
level 201 or earned 2,000 qp total will be archived.
* Characters offline between 90 days and 2 years that have not
reached level 10 or earned 50 qp total will be archived.
* Any character online in the last 90 days is kept regardless of
status.
We feel that these rules are very generous and, as much as possible,
avoid removing characters that are likely to return. Reaching level 10
or 50qp earned is less than a couple of hours playing and you are then
safe from archiving for 2 years.
If you have a character that has been archived, there is a good chance
that it can be recovered. Please write a note to 'imm' on the personal
board if this is the case. If the name has since been used by another
player you will be required to choose a new name.
Please note that if you get archived it is likely that your manor will be
recycled. If this happens and you are later unarchived, the manor will
*not* be available to you.
If you are married to a player who gets archived, you will be divorced
at login with no wait to remarry. You will no longer be able to use
their equipment.
