Reaped Characters

If you've been around the mix a few times, you might have taken a break and come back to find your character has been claimed by the reaper. You find you have to connect as a guest and @register that way to get a new character. Pain in the butt.

Hopefully, this new feature will help.

There is a new 'Reaped?' button on each character listed on the Your Characters page. If your character has been reaped (not just perma killed), you can use this button to remove it from your characters list. This should then let you create a new character from the website.

(Note: don't try to use this if your character just died and you need to roll a new one. You do that in game.)

Awesome! Does this work if you were reaped and already made a new character? (I still have an old reaper character on my character list and it visually bothers me.)

That use case is indeed supported. Remove those old characters. They mess up things like membership renewal and such. :)

Perfect. Awesome, as always! Thanks for the new feature :D.

Tested it and worked great. Thanks for adding this feature.

What is the time frame before a character is reaped, and is there a time difference based on older characters?

REAPER

"Your time has come." ~ Mr Reaper

To help with keeping server load to a minimum Sindome has created a system called 'The Reaper' that runs periodically removing MOO characters that have been inactive for 6 weeks or more.

You will receive a warning email prompting you to log in. If you have still not logged in after a week, your MOO character will be deleted and will not be recoverable.

If you are going to be away for an extended period of time and you aren't sure you will be able to log in you can xhelp and request to be added to the reaper exclusion list, but this is done on a case by case basis and will not always be approved.
