Can we actually delete our account ?

Does it just mean that we will have USER DELETED as a name and we won't be able to access it anymore ?

That's sad, I would prefer people not to be able to raid me anymore... 

Hello Archon,

As it has been said many times, this is the only way you currently get abandonned cities to collect resources and be able to progress without clashing other players all day long, so they're actually essential to other players to go on (and you're currently heavily benefitting from them).

Since your name has been removed and your account unlinked from the city, it's not yours anymore. Actually, the graphics and the objects you put inside have never been yours : both the graphics and the program code have been designed by Plarium and have always been their exclusive porperty.

Only your user account was yours, and you were just controlling a part of the multiplayer playground called "Sparta" that was lent to you by Plarium for free.

From the time you chose to abandon your account, you just give it back to Plarium, the exact same way you give back the house you were renting to its owner (I guess you won't burn it to the ground  before leaving ? :p)

Here it's exactly the same. Your name is just removed from the door and mailbox plates, and that's it.

As for house rental, anything you've modified inside the house has to be either put back to the same exact state it was when you entered, at your own expense (which can't be done here because the game allows to build, but not to destroy), or left to the owner in the state is when you leave (only those two possibilities are mentionned in the law, at least in France).

If you or your parents have been renting a home, you probably perfectly know how it works : if you've been adding bookshelves in a room, either you have to blank the holes and repaint the walls, or you have to leave the shelves in place. ;) This is just the law.

Now if you can prove you were owning the city (since it's abandonned, it cant be relocated, so you can easily prove it's yours knowing its coordinates), Plarium can link back your account to your former city if you want to come back.

Other than that, it just becomes anonymous (like a house you are leaving) and kept available for others to use as a farm (like in real life).

It's just logical actually. :)

The only advantage you have compared to house rental is only you can exclusively use it.

The only thing that can't be done to your city is giving it away to someone else, so nobody else than yourself can benefit from your remaining troops, agreements levels, etc.

Hello Archon,

I Was actually answering to Lefeubleu, as you can see from the mesage I quoted.

The anonymity has been demanded by players, as apparently, they were upset other people would use their name as a target, or something like that. just read my quote from Lefeubleu to understand what could be a reason.

Plus it answers to a legal right about your personal to be removed from databases at your request.

You can't forbid anybody the right to withdraw their personal information if they don't want to give away what's rightly theirs.

I know it's apparently legal in the U.S. as Facebook can sell your personal intimate pictures, addresses or anything else personal to any mechant, pronograph, mafia or who knows what, but it is ILLEGAL in Europe, and every European citizen has the right to have all his personal information deleted if they request for it, and nobody has a right to oppose this legitimate demand.

Now if someone just want to leave the game and doesn't care for his nickname to stay there on their cities and getting bashed, then they can just leave, period.

I have many friends who have left the game over those past two years. Around 98% of them just left, so their cities are still wearing their names. A few of them have deleted their accounts, as their cities now display "User deleted". They actually are quite rare anyway.

A couple of my friends even came back to playing a few weeks ago, so they just had to log back in and recover their cities.

For players having willingly deleted their accounts, it's a bit more complicated, as Plarium as to link back their game UID to their player's account, so they can recover their city in the state they left it.

No, it is is by no way a right.

The only right is for people to safeguard their privacy, and you have no right whatsoever to be wanting to spy on their private lives. What you're asking is criminal. We're not living in a dictatorship, I'm sorry for you.

Your answer, therefore, is "NO". You got it already.

Alternate accounts are a different problem, and it is off topic here.

If you're suspecting multi accounts use, you must transmit your proofs to Plarium using the technical support link in the game menu.

You mut not disclose any personal information here on the forum, this is illegal, not only per the forum rules, but per the law in general.

If you're being bullied ingame, you must react ingame, ideally requesting help from your coalition.

If the offender is a cheater having multiple accounts and you can prove it, Plarium will take actions against him accordingly.
