Characters who havent logged into the game since November 30th, 2009 will be deleted. There is no recovery possible.
Better server performance.
Shorter server downtime.
-----------------------------------------
They already know and trying to fix it.
However,i believe that they should delete even earlier characters..Must be enormous amounts of 1-50~ lvl chars who wont log back after the beggining of GoD(F2P).Definitely with different criteria.
Every time there is a new update there is an increase in lag and server crashes... wait a minute, is there some correlation? Could the testing of the new update be directly connected to the issues we are experiencing? Could the community be understanding in that the L2 resources are being pushed to the limits while we prepare for an update?
Ofc NCwest wont sacrifice Hollidays in Hawaii just because Their player ( clients in my case) want server stability ?. Test server cost too much adena :D
