Account Take Over
« on: October 30, 2024, 10:49:10 AM »
Hi. Ive been a part of the mists for several years now and it has been a very brutal learning experience, but one I have enjoyed.

A part of the process is learning to manage your POTM Account with all its characters, as we cant delete them.
I learned that my starting account, with all the characters I tried and failed.. was too flooded with characters, so I made a new and started just the characters I planned on playing for the long haul there.

I took a few month break, came back, and now I have several other characters created by someone else on my account, including all their test characters.
I went from 4 characters to over 10 now.

This is incredibly heartbreaking and aggrevating for me as I spent countless hours planning for this and organizing it, just to have some random person log into my account.. see that it already has characters on it... then go ahead and start making their own anyways.

Can these PLEASE be removed from my account and given their own or can mine be copied to a new one... I am blown away that someone would be inconsiderate enough to do this.

Thanks.

I can obviously share more details privatetly.

I advise PMing DM Brimstone, EO with this, handling it privately with account info and names needed to be removed.

Also, there is a new feature that was added a few months ago that allows you to archive old characters. I do not advise doing this with the characters that have flooded your account as that may be someone's active characters and you would certainly need to switch your characters to another login name.

But, what you can do is use the @archive function to bury your unused and unwanted characters lower down in your character list.
