my account has been purged... :(

Post by awambawamb »

hi, my old old old acocunt (made in 2010) has been purged in the second purge, one year ago.
can I re-create a character with the same name? I can't even log in in the server... what can I do about it?
I don't mind restart a new character, but I'd like the new char to be named "awambawamb" (I'm a bit of a pixelhugger)
my account was "awambawamb" same as this forum account and as stated above is in the second purge. the registration email hasn't changed though... :(
I've found some topics about recovering their accounts, but no one stated a solution or explanation, that's why it made me write here... and the purge isn't on the wiki also
thanks in advance for help

Yes. Just create a new account and then create that character.

The purges removed those accounts and their associated characters from the server. The solution (which you were probably weren't hoping to hear) is to create a new account and start over.

ah!
it's weird... so there will always be a record of the accound "awambawamb" and no one can register such account anew eve if it was deleted, but probably there will be no problems on recreating a new player called "awambawamb"?

The problem is that when the purge happens, the temporary SQL database doesn't get cleared.

I've created a new account for you (with your original password and email), bypassing the web frontend.
