Implement Autodelete #224

Open Psypher9 opened 10 months ago

Psypher9 commented 10 months ago

Currently, the server logs will show that a player is being autodeleted, but nothing actually happens.

Autodelete should actually delete.

Reasons why something should be autodeleted incoming.

rezalas commented 10 months ago

The main benefit for autodelete currently is name reuse, as player files are the char name which means one at a time. Once a character needs to be deleted I believe the final action depends on the level of the character.

What determines that a character should be deleted?

rezalas commented 10 months ago

Deletion can be done 3 ways:

player initiated below 51, the character it deleted immediately. At 51 the character is marked as deleted and the name is blocked from reuse.
Age death. Once a character hits 6 months, it's deleted after they die of natural causes in game and choose to log out or disconnect. Until then they can wander the world as a ghost.
immortal purge: immortals can delete a character with a command which should remove them.
