If it is possible i'd like to ask details about the inactivity character wipes.

1. Will this wipe be repeated and if it will then how often?
2. If the software will remain active from now on does that mean i have to be online for 10minutes every week with every character i have?
Or it will only delete the characters that haven't been active for 50 days from now on?

You only need to log on once every 50 days.

And when creating a char, make sure it has at least 10 minutes on it or it will be deleted after a week.

I thought it was only a month? Could you point me to where you found this info? Cheers.

Log on once a month on each of your characters just to be sure. I usually do it on the day my cap resets, helps me remember to do it.

Specifially, the wipe is an ongoing thing, based on a rolling calendar date. So it'll keep wiping automatically from now on.

You actually have two things - NEW characters MUST have more than 10 minutes of activity to avoid being deleted due to the non-interest issue. That means that if you create a character to be a bank - if it has less than 10 minutes on it and gets deleted, those credits are gone. No refunds, either.

Ongoing characters must be logged onto individually every 50 days. NOT per account, each character. And it doesn't take long - we recommend log in, undock, redock, and switch character if nothing else.

As a positive note, we've already noted a VASTLY improved performance from the server with the wipes active. So this has been a good thing to do.

Can I ask when and where this was publicly announced? Because I lost a very sentimental character out of the blue, and in my experience (i.e. three accounts vaporized) the wipes were the entire account or none of the characters at all. Thus I was unprepared... Or was this just today? Because if so, it's sort of a dick thing to do. >.>

Ah, thank ye. I must've missed it. Oh well, life goes on.
