Character Reactivation Service

[oliveira]

If you did deactivate your account properly (go to contents and deactivate them during a billing cycle) the system will "park" your account and nothing happens. Originally (and this is what is written on the original documentation for this game) contents would be deleted after three months of inactivity. You would be able to use the FFXI code again to reactivate the game but would need to start the character from scratch.

Then sometime in 2004 they changed it to how it is now: You can deactivate and it will be left alone.

Now if you have invalid billing information and SE tried to charge you, you canceled the *whole* account (there was an option for that on the old Service and Support page for POL) then there is an countdown of three months before the account is completely removed.

After the account is deleted and removed from the database it's impossible to log in it through POL Viewer. And that's what this server is meant for.

It's none of those things. It's simply a deleted character, my main character, that I want back. Nothing more, nothing less. I've used the CRS before to recover a character from years back, the whole 3 month deletion thing was toffee in my opinion, when I have recovered a character in the past there has been characters I made back in 05 on that list and available for recovery.

My POL account is perfectly intact. The FFXI account has actually been active more than once since the character was deleted for various reasons.

I was able to do it in august, Only did it then because I noticed some small print that said if I didn't I'd lose my characters, so the 2 I wanted to keep I did it to they were on the midgardsormr server and now aparently on quetz... which was the original server I played on when i started 6 years ago.. and it sucked it was empty.

Course I think they did it wrong because my characters levels and races this forum shows isn't what they were, and I still can't login to find out forsure.


try going tot he management site, that is where I did mine at and one was deleted a LONG time ago and it let me do it.

Hey was just looking around on google for information on the character reactivation, did this never come back up? My boyfriend kind of rage-deleted his character recently and has been regretting it. He was pretty sure he could get it back quickly through the reactivation service but after reading this it seems like maybe not? Has it really been down since March? =/

you guys are not in the right place then, I just did it yesterday for my significant other, you go to services -> select service-> and the transfer option is there, this is how I did it, took about 5 minutes to get the account done and online, all characters intact after 2 years.

Now I MAY rage quit if these idiots at SE don;t release for the 360 its ridivulous and I would rather play on it (I am talking about the ultimate abysea collection)
