    Note that these accounts have only 60 to 120 points.

    Accounts with active ambrosia features will not be deleted until the active features cease. In this case the feature is on auto-renew so the town will stay until the ambrosia runs out.

  • In the normal case, without this feature, how long does it take for an inactive or banned account to be deleted?


    Additionally, one of the accounts recently entered vacation mode and had all its points reset. What does this situation mean? Is this the final stage before permanent deletion, and how long does it take from this point?

    • Phase 0 (Hour 0 to Hour 24, sorting the fun registrations out, no long time inactivity): If you do not build anything in the 24 hours after registration, you get deleted.

    When the points hit all zeros its just a matter of weeks and that account will be gone or the towns will anyway. if you put the players name into the highscore search bar it will have a red x by it if its banned.

    The game will not put a player into Vacation mode!!!!!!!!!!

  • One of our guys got a 24 hour suspension for a light insult and it put him into v.mode. Plus he got zeros on his score.

  • The Staff, not the game, initiated the suspension and v-modes.


    The game does not activate v-mode, a person does that.

  • If an account is showing palm trees but the scores are zeroed out, that's not vmode: That's banned. Look the player up on the high score and it'll be more obvious.


    If an account is in this state, either a GO has manually banned him or the account is already on the graveyard server and you're seeing a shadow of the original account. Those usually disappear after a week.

  • same rule has been in effect since 2008, i think an update is a must. especially for the deletion of accounts with premium effects.

    From what I remember, German laws prevent them from deleting accounts with Ambrosia, real money based currency, that is unspent


    This is why accounts were ghosted, not deleted, and then later/now graveyarded

    there is nothing to do when it comes to the law. we just have to accept it, but ive must say that it is a ridiculous law.

    I believe he wants accounts with premium effects active to ghost, not delete, and end up on the graveyard server. A poor choice of words.

    yeah i mean ghost or graveyard. not delete. thanks for retraction.
