Treat really old accounts with care

(1/2) > >>

Constantine:
So it seems that old accounts are deleted after half a year (?) of inactivity.
This is understandable since we need to keep the database clean.
But can we at least differenciate a little bit and be smart about cleaning up? If someone spent a few months playing a game and then disappeared - sure, delete the account in half a year. But if someone's been playing for several years, maybe give him a longer grace period? There are not that many accounts who's been around for years, we can safely keep them for a bit longer.
I think it's obvious that preservation (or the lack of thereof) of the old account can sway the decision of a potential returning player.

Wimpie:
Vita has worked on this and there's some work-in-progress saved by him.

The title is 'Save old accounts for five years, if played longer than 3 months'.

Andrew:
Still don't see why there's a timelimit on it. You're talking about like, a few megabytes of space, ever.

Anaris:
Yeah...what the hell.

I'm going to put Vita's update live, with one change: At least for the time being, accounts over 3 months old will simply not be deleted.

JeVondair:
[How] Will this affect accounts that have recently autopaused?
