Naia & Chronos Database Clean Up

News & Announcements Started Last reply 24 posts
To help optimize server performance, we’re cleaning up the Lineage II database. Qualifying characters will be scheduled for deletion during our weekly maintenance on June 5th, 2013.

The good news? All you have to do to keep your character alive is to log in anytime between now and June 5th, 2013, 5:00 AM PDT.

Benefits

Better server performance.
Shorter server downtime.
Plenty of character names will become available.

The even better news? Characters who return will receive 99 NCoin for FREE! It’s our way of saying “welcome back”.

Details

Affected Servers:

Chronos and Naia

Qualifying characters:

Characters that haven’t logged in since November 30th, 2009

How to save your character:

Simply log into the game with the character by June 5th, 2013, 5:00 AM PDT.

logged in all my alts and name save chars right after yesterdays maintenance after reading this announcement so you guys better not remove any of those ;)
so just out of curiosity, how many chars will be deleted approximately?
BTW why there is always something good for innactive players (come back, we will give you free NCoins and if you will be nice, we can make dance for you also!) and for long time players you have ... nothing? I'm just curious.
Is there any chance that a character may be wrongly deleted?

guess I didn't read it completely then... just had to be sure ;p
Will you be able to share any details regarding the number of characters removed ?

Because they don't have to do anything special, and you will keep paying the bills?

Too late, they're all gone!!! Just kidding, were they there today?

Good question!


Of course, it will be pretty difficult to delete any characters that haven’t logged in since November 30th, 2009 on the server that was created in 2012...

but...

we believe in NCsoft's ability to do the impossible. :p
