How easy? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Setting a 0 to a 1. Or something of the sort. "Deleted" is as simple as a flag on a character in the db.

Restoring all your gear, on the other hand... is a serious pain in the ass. You'd have to manually recreate all of the items as items are unique per instance.

I currently do not have text service on my phone, nor do I intend to get it in the near future. If I do, my work and "friends" will be texting me non-stop with worthless things I don't want to know about. It's a level of connectivity that I want to avoid.

Back on live there was an instance where someone got ahold of a character/account, deleted the high level characters and started new ones with the same name. Not to give anyone ideas, but is this nastier to recover from?

This would be purely optional though

My bad, I really need to actually pay attention and stop skimming. Carry on.

Everything stated here is incorrect. It's not a flag and inventory is part of the character in a separate table. When a character is undeleted, anything that was on it at the time is unchanged, so there is no additional work and no exploit potential.

Any chance of making this optional?

We may also optionally allow the numbers to be used in a securid sort of way, for those that decide to enable it on their account. This would mean that in order to even log into the account on the loginserver and to connect to P99, you would need to enter both your account password as well as the pin number generated on the spot.

Can someone explain how this works? Does the server generate a PIN and text it to you when you're logging in?
