I've taken out the deleting of accounts and names after speaking with Kimiko and Nny and a good long shower meditation. So, thanks guys!

The account deletion on here is voluntary. Please read before you press no support. I am not suggesting that we delete the accounts of anyone without their permission.

Ok. I just was thinking that there is no way to delete an account on here (or even inactivate/permanently suspend one). I understand that you don't want people deleting their account because they don't like their rolled lion and making a new one. And even some have said it might mess up the account numbering (Hence the permanent suspension/inactivation) But here are my ideas:

After a year/year and a half a delete account button can show up at the bottom of your den. This prevents new players from deleting right away and making a new account. They may be more invested in the game at the time. This also allows those who just no longer want to player or never really got into it to delete their account which frees up space and names.

OR as suggest below: "the player will click the button that shows up in a week or so, BUT a email box pops up and the player must explain WHY they want the account deleted, and they must wait a month before rejoining." I would say if the e-mail is written to have this show up on the first day.



Ideas to add? Comments? Criticisms? Please comment and let me know what you think. Thank you for listening to me babble.




This suggestion has 290 supports and 13 NO supports.

I think this works becuase my sister has an account on here, she wanted to play it cause i suggested it, but now she has 0 time for it and she takes up male names and i gave her all my uglies, and so she takes up space. MAYBE Instead of a year, the player will click the button that shows up in a week or so, BUT a email box pops up and the player must explain WHY they want the account deleted, and they must wait a month before rejoining.

That's a good idea. I'll add it to the top as another idea.

I still dont like accounts being deleated without permission, sorry. the rest is great though

maybe instead of accounts being deleated after 3 years or whatever amount of time. you have to rename your lion

How can they rename them if they're not logged in? These concerns are why I put in the part about warning e-mails. They would be sent out plenty early enough for the person to take action. The recovery plan is also for this.

I dislike when games delete accounts. I joined LioDen in Oct 2012 while it was still closed Beta. I lost interest after a few weeks and walked away, but I always save bookmarks for all Sims I've ever played. I just recently started playing again, 2.5years later. All my lioness' were gone except one Custom. I would have been very disappointed if I returned to find my account deleted. I want to be able to come back if I ever choose to.


Now I support your Idea #4. I have a very similar idea posted here.

I'll add your post in under #4. This is why I gave it 3 years with warnings in e-mails at least 6 months in advance and a recovery for 6 months. This gives players 3.5 years.

Thanks for the link.


I still dislike account deletion after any amount of time. I want to be able to come back after any length of time. I want to return with my old account. Even if all the animals I had are gone. I want all of my items/currency still there. I usually end up spending a little RL money when playing SIM games. I would be extra mad if a game I had paid RL money for things deleted my account.

I put a lot of money into this game too. But these accounts do slow up the site. So there's no amount of time that you think would be appropriate? I just really want to make this game run smoother and more fun. Do you think the warning e-mails would do anything, or the recovery plan, or are you just against it no matter what we do to help the player prevent this from happening?

#4 is actually already in the game, but I do believe there's a few bugs with it.

I also don't really like the idea of accounts being deleted for inactivity, no matter how long the duration. I've played another game where I left for 3 or 4 years(joined before high school started and "quit" to focus on school when it did) until I finally came back.

I agree maybe with #1, since I guess for some people it's a nice option, but really, if you want to leave, you can just kill off all your lions(thus deleting them from the game) and reroll your lion(you have to choose a new name I believe, in which case they can just give it a ridiculous name), and leave. I'm on the fence for being able to delete your account, but I do like that they would have to put a reason and then it would have to be decided by the mods/admins whether or not to actually delete it.

like after whatever time limit they have, lets say 1-3years

the account will go into a dormant mode, the stud is taken off the market and when you log in it will not let you play untill you name your male but your male will be the same as how you left him

They can do that, but deleting would get everything out of the system leaving more space. I'm honestly more worried about 1,2,and 4. I thought the trade was expired only if they were logging in. Please correct me if I'm wrong. So do you also think the warnings and recovery plan would not do anything?

I am against the deleting of accounts without permission

I don't check my e-mail like ever so no I don't think sending warning emails is good enough.

my idea would make names available for others to use.

Maybe there could be a server for dormant accounts

So should I move the in the system time to one year instead? I don't think they need to bother with renaming their lion if they're logged in. Just so long as they log in they're fine.

A server for dormant accounts? I'll suggest that, but I've seen the mods not be very happy before about setting up another server.

if they dont log in for whatever amount of time. (I think 1 year is good seeing as you can get your stuff back but thats just me) they have to rename their main lion when they log back in.
