This is the third time I make an account of the exact SAME character... Just came back like 2 days ago, so they don't allow us to quit and leave an inactive account? Wow... just wow.

I'd never had my account deleted for inactivity. How long were you gone?

Like months or years, lol. I had 2 accounts deleted, one named IcySerpent and other one named 'Active' because of the deletion of 'inactivity'.

If it's a couple years, I can understand. MS has billions of people playing so characters that are just there are probably just taking up memory. :/

Nah, not a couple years. The max I give is 1 year and a half... =X But I mean, how much can 1 account holds up in the database?

Who cares, if you're inactive for 1.5 years mr.basil might as well delete you account, right?

My account was inactive for like 2/3 years and not deleted.

Think about how characters are stored. It's in a database with text. Storing a character's level, skills, etc. and items would literally be a few KB. Text is smaaaaaaaaaaall.

The bandwidth needed to host these pictures and videos, and auctions. These things cost money.

Inactive accounts are naught more than a burden to the database. Deleting them the minute a user decides to quit would be more effective, but unfortunately, impractical.

They won't let me update my permanub's level.
