Yeah, and wouldn't it be cool if somehow all 4000 blue players logged on at once (with only 25 golds and 15 reds on, of course)?yeah that would be cool we could cap like a million times



Yes, it would be...once I started letting Avalons fly...
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what does this have to do with unused players

It might be cool for a few seconds...until the server choked.

Yea basicly Tempest hehehe.

Really though, unused players are annoying. They make up 90% of Itani.

Starting on page 70 it's all 0 score chars. The first one is below:

3469 Incarnate Blue 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0/0

Another devish one...

3957 [AI] SHiNOBi ?? 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0/0


Anyhow, these go on until page 222, the last page, with the last player,

11082 Shadow Vault Red 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0/0



That's 7,613 players that have NEVER LOGGED IN. In other words, there's twice as many NEVER USED players as there are players with score. Interesting, no?

Johnsm712, think. If space is choked with 4000-5000 Itani, Avalons will start getting me craploads of player kills.

Just because of a NULL score it doesn't mean that it's not used - i've had several 5+ mill $ chars with a NULL score as traders =)

Still... Most of these has 0 kills and 0 deaths

I've got a zero-score char... He's nifty...

0kills 0 deaths doesn't mean that person has never logged on... good example is Incarnate... database error made his char 0/0.

Still, I'll bet that there's at least 6000 players that have never logged on. That leaves room for 1000 db errors/people like n00b.

rouguelazer is right so far all of the people are just making chars to make them they dont use them they have 0 score and 0 kills/deaths that means they are never used. No char is used that is 0 everything and the people stop with the scores at least at page 70 and the score does matter that means they play it every once in a while but most dont even play at all.

Don't delete me!! I'm active!! :P

ok sir camp i cant delete u i am not a dev so i cant and taht is good that u are active i am just talking about people that never play the game.

Purging every 6 months is good. Purging every 3 months still is reasonable. But don't start purging too often. Sometimes people can't play for a certain time, and they don't want to see their accounts purged when they return. A good example would be Renegade ++RIP++ who was in the UK for quite a while and had no access to a game capable Internet enabled PC. Another example would be me: I had little chance to log in and play due to exams etc... I been very active the last couple of days, but I'm affraid it's gonna hurt my grades though. ;)

And no, devs, that's not a plea to lock my account untill my exams are over. *grin*

How about the player listing not listing anyone with a score below 1000? If the database backend is anything like MySQL we're taling about 3-4 lines of code.
