Regarding inactivity and transfer to asphodel

  • I wasn't sure how this system works


    There's a player on my island that was inactive, now he's on vacation mode.

    My question is whether this vacation tag is a stage towards inactivity removal or is it just a player who doesn't want to be removed from the server?


    Also, is there a way to check when a player is bound to be transfered?

  • The system does not activate Vacation mode


    That is the player realizing that they have not logged in and they, the player, activated the Vacation mode themselves.


    The phases of Inactivity are:


    • 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.
    • Phase 1 (1 week to 2 weeks after registration ): You become inactive after 2 days with no login, you get ghosted 2 days later.
    • Phase 2 (Week 2 until 1 Month): You become inactive after 7 days with no login, you get ghosted 4 days later.
    • Phase 3 (1 Month until 3 Months): You become inactive after 7 days with no login, you get ghosted 14 days later
    • Phase 4 (3 Month until end of times): You become inactive after 7 days with no login, you get ghosted 30 days later.

    Ghosting now means that they are transferred to the Asphodel servers. The more current term is Graveyarded.

  • It does when banned. It takes 7 days to go inactive 30 days to ghost, but once you ghost your account on the original server is banned and goes into vmode for 7 days before it's deleted.

  • ohh ok!

    It's just part of the graveyarding process. Before the auto rename, you'd have to wait for your original account to get cleared out of the target server.

  • I check the player stats when a previously inactive player goes v-mode. If they are all zero, it is about to ghost.
