Char Gone?

I'm sorry to say, but if you have multiple accounts this is true. The admins propably won't touch this topic, since it's pinned and informed already. Storage accounts which you use only to transfer money to and from are especially susceptible, so be sure to play and use them for other reasons also.

The topic is here. "Uninterested" accounts get flushed after a week. Other accounts get flushed after 40 days. A player not attached to Discovery admins does keeps a character "first aid" service here. Of course you need to apply beforehand.

From what I gather from other topics (sorry for not linking them now):

a) due to software limitations, DRP 24/7 is run on a PC with only a single core in-use @ 4GHZ during 4.85 beta 4
b) it sustains 5000+ active players, many with 3+ active accounts
c) It's completely free

The answers are on the forums. A lot of people don't have the time or the interest to dwelve too deep to these matters, and IMO even the admins are sometimes taking sides in favor of older players. As an admin of a few IRC channels from 15 years ago, trust me, it's normal when 20 new people join the community every day. You simply can't take everyone into consideration. Discovery isn't open ground either, it's a privately owned and kept server and basically, it's owners can make any choices they want. Still, most of the time, they do it in our, the players', favor.

This would be a good time to start a new thread here on making exceptions when an account clearly has a lot of in-game money, so the admins would notice and discuss this problem you have:)They are known to be just as lenient as they are "fascist", and even cover your damages from time to time.

So there's no chance they will even possibly restore my account, huh? I mean I don't have anyone on the server to play my accounts. I spent months upon months of 6-8+ hour days just trading and trading and trading...I had hundreds of millions and I was saving all my money. Just when money was starting to get good, my PC dies, and now I am stuck with nothing. There are certainly better ways to get inactive characters off the server, i.e a back up drive where characters are moved to from out of the server vault, character logs, etc. Anything to make it so characters CAN be restored. 40 days is far too short, especially since they won't even let you freeze your characters.

If they can't restore my characters, then I don't know what to do. I can't ever see myself putting in that kind of time again to get where I was before. It was a lot of work, but I kept telling myself it will pay off. Apparently I was wrong?
