On Vacation? Don't delete the account!

[FLuXx()]

I think this would be a really nice addition to RunUO. This isn't a request. I'd do it myself but I'm giving it up. Too much trouble for me right now.

So anyway, the idea is out there for all to implement themselves or to be put into RunUO as stock, which would probably be nice for most people...

The idea is just a simple bool on the PlayerMobile that can be switched by a player accessable command. Say it's OnVacation.

When deleting accounts more than X days old, we could check to see if someone is on vacation and not delete their account... give them a break?

To fight abuse of this, each time someone logs on, make sure OnVacation is false and allow them to use the command maybe once a week?

Just an idea though, NOT A REQUEST!

The code that deletes the accounts that are not logged, do not read the characters, infact by itself the account only keeps the id of the character, no data on it.

Then how about account tags, those already exist right?

An account tag for this would be a poor solution to do this desire code.

Well no matter what the method of doing it is, the idea still stands and that's is what I think really matters in this thread. Not the actual execution of it since I don't even plan to try.

If you were really trying to be helpful, maybe make a suggestion instead of being negative about things and saying "Nope, that won't work." or "It could be done better. But it's a secret...."

Just say it man.

This forum is for things that are already in OSI, if it is not there then you will have to find it in Script Submissions, or script it yourself. If it is in OSI then you can expect to see it in the distro.

If you do script it yourself, then you can get help with the script you are working on in the Script Support forum. Please remember to paste any errors you get with the script, as neither means much without the other.

1) If it's already in OSI, why do we have a forum about suggestions and "ideas"? Just look at the changelogs for the patches, no need for this forum then.

2) I already mentioned, multiple times, I do not plan to do this. I know how the support system for scripts here works well enough to know not to do go through it.

This is for 'suggestions and ideas' for implementing changes to make it more like OSI. In short it's for posting what is missing and what possible fixes are for it.

Not for posting requests, which are not allowed. You either script it yourself, or find a script in Script Submissions that will do what you want, or you do without it. Only a subscriber to the forums may make a request in the 'Subscriber Forums'.

Qauntos you fail to see the difference between runuo and osi.

Osi has millions of players. RunUO shards have at most hundreds.
Runuo can afford to be more user friendly where as osi cannot. When most shards are run by an actual person rather that multiple servers then i think its very plausable to have a friendly feature such as this.

I'm not disputing the plausibility of the feature. It does not, however belong here. It is a request for a non-OSI feature. He can script it himself, or find something else to do the job.

Its this simple.

I seriously doubt that the account decay system will be done.

If you were really trying to be helpful, maybe make a suggestion instead of being negative about things and saying "Nope, that won't work." or "It could be done better. But it's a secret...."

This isn't a support thread, thus I am not going to tell people how to do it, or explain how to do it,.

This thread was incorrectly posted from the start, I event stated as such that the house decay has been changed and its more or less controleld by your paid/suspended account status.

Which is why it won't be done.

btw I have reported your post as a personal flame, as it is one.

I report all flames that are made towards me, so don't bother making them.

I already mentioned, multiple times, I do not plan to do this. I know how the support system for scripts here works well enough to know not to do go through it.

that is your choice I would help anyone who tried to do this, as anyone on this forum, as long as they followed the rules. Your choice not to script a system like this, or do anything for that amtter is your choice and your choice alone and other members should be held responsible for not doing something yourself.

So now you are going to flame me for bringing up your unhelpfulness and general aloofness from my idea. It took all this to get you to give me a straight answer and thus you think I am flamming you?

Jeez Phantom get a grip of yourself.

Who is asking for support?

I asked why it wouldn't be possible. Support would be a script I made and couldn't get working with this idea in mind. Did you see me post a script? Or anyone else about this? Did they tell you why they couldn't get that to work and ask for your help? No I don't believe they did.

If you are so hell bent to keep knowledge from people about RunUO and the way things work with it, why don't you just give it up? Most people have to scratch at your throat to get an answer they can A) understand B) that is of any use.

The first two posts by you...those didn't clear up a thing about why it wouldn't work! You just wanted to tell me it wouldn't. If you want people to become smarter about this software then explain things!

You obviously have the time to....

Can a moderator lock this thread please?

1) My answers are always clear, if somebody cannot understand them thats not my problem

2) When people post in the correct forums, I will help them, otherwise I will tell them I won't help them till they do

3) If you didn't want support whats the big deal, I suggest you quote the rest of my post where I said you only have yourself to blaim if your not going to ask for help.

4) If this wasn't a support thread, nor a request thread, wtf was it?

5) Stop wasting our time, kthnx

6) You can talk about me how I don't help, but at the end of the day I know I do help people, I know that, other people know that, so go ahead attack me and see what happens at the end of the day.

Either way I feel good about what I have done for this community, I will continue to be here till I am to busy to be of help.

This Threat should be closed. It is waisting of webspace and time to fight each other. There is much to do...

[FLuXx()]

Well for the sake of the other visitors I'll end this. No doubt Phantom will want the last say, but prove me wrong.

I never "attacked" you. I'm stating your touchy attitude towards people. Yeah I have it too, but only with people like you.

You asked what kind of thread this is...well that's a really hard one hmm..It's "wrongly" placed in the suggestions and ideas forum and for what reason does the original post not sound like an idea/suggestion?

Oookay.......

[psz]

As a GM/Admin Help Feature, this is a good suggestion. I'll end the tread on that ;->
