You mean like account inactivity delete?
Accounts themselves use very little data on the server, you'd need to have more people then the number that play PWI on all their servers combined for it to really be noticed...
If you are concerned about space rotate the log files (I did post a link to a nice guide that shows how to do it if you don't know how) http://forum.ragezone.com/f452/autom...7/#post6106443
Imo you should do what PWE does, the account never gets deleted just "banned" and I believe if you send them a ticket they open it up again. That you can pull off by making a script that checks when the users login and updating their last login time somewhere (probably MySQL) if it gets greater then however long you want it stick a ban in the authd forbid table and tada! account can't be used unless you open it again.
I think he means how to delete in general. Ummm if i am not mistaken can't you delete a character/acc in pwadmin? I am not home atm so i can't check

Well... he edited after I posted apparently...Originally Posted by M a g i c
He asked how to delete 'old' accounts before as the title said...
Not good to use pwAdmin to delete char cuz the name remain somewhere in the database and can't be use anymore by others...
The best way is to reset the account's password and login into it and delete the chars by yourself.
Thank you all for the answers
and yes I mean erasing all accounts that I made when the server was undergoing tests ..... because I want to release the server but the users want to do that with everything clean.
yes yes I edited the post because I saw that my question was very vague so I decided to edit
tnkx again
