Inactive accounts

[Alya Kiyori]

Do inactive accounts get deleted over time? If they do how long does it take?

[Ceera Murakami]

Nope.

Inactive Basic accounts never get deleted. You could come back years laterm, and it will still be just as you left it, inventory, L$ balance and all. In fact, if the inactive account had anyone paying money to it for anything, you may have even earned some L$ while it sat idle.

Inactive Premium accounts will exist as long as your payment method doesn't expire. If you let the payment info on a Premium account expire, and LL is unable to bill you for your Premium Dues, they will after a short time suspend your account for non payment of dues. Supposedly you can now get everything back by paying your past-due dues, and a small reactivation fee. But they keep adding to the bill every year that it remains suspended. It used to be the case that they wiped your inventory if an account was suspended for non-payment for more than 3 months.

That isn't completely accurate. You are right that the accounts are not deleted but they might not "be just as you left it". Accounts can degrade over time. This will usually mean loss of inventory but most of your inventory will still be there.

If your account sits idle for months or years, would you even remember what you had? Or would you really care?

I heard the reason they don't delete accounts is cause the number of accounts looks good for potential investors.

 

I think the number of accounts VS the time people spend in SL averages to 12 minutes a month per account. I think it takes us addicts longer than 12 minutes just to get situated each day we come in. Rezz, dress, read notices, blah blah blah..

So how can an inactive account be revived if the password is forgotten and the email has changed?
