Account inactivity

After how much time an account is removed if it's inactive?

Currently there is nothing in place, but the auto-kick feature that is being added soon will kick inactive players after 28 days.

Thanks for the reply and I love your game. Actually, I wanted a driver which is in an inactive account. Thanks for the update it will help

Seems to be working now as our league has been purged considerably. Time to find a new one for the end of season with more members.

Good stuff Jack.

It shouldn't have any effect. I believe the teams are being kicked from leagues, not deleted so inactive accounts will still retain their staff/drivers.

Hi Jack,

After the auto-kick my league has no more a organizator, so i ask you if you can nomine me as new organizator to continue all work i do for my league.

Thank you.

If you want to become the host of your league, you can post your request here.

I do it.

Thank you.

Wow this purge has damage my league so much. Everyone in Pro league got kicked. So now it will take months for rookies to graduate Elite. IGP should have left it to two moths at least.

I think it was a good idea because it is going to require active players to work together to form an active league or improve one that is already filled with active players.

The benefits outweigh the cons.

The sheer number of inactive leagues was mind boggling.

Yeah. There's also the argument that too many people graduate to Elite without properly learning most of the basics of the game like tyre & push level management, so competition with active players would be good to help with that too. The purge also gives an incentive to look for active leagues to join, instead of relying on less active fields to get easier access to promotion.

That said, perhaps active leagues could start advertising more frequently on the leagues thread during this initial aftershock of the inactivity purge.

I am a massive advocate of this autokick feature. Its has cleaned up all the ghost leagues, new players will now only be joining alive active leagues. I wonder is Jack able fo confirm how many leagues have been entirely emptied and therefore deleted? It must have a knock on effect on the game performance not having to run qualifications and races for all those ghost teams and leagues now?

I do agree though and it was suggested on this thread - https://igpmanager.com/forum-thread/8803 - that there be a reprieve or moratorium on fining users for moving leagues as a lot of people will now be looking for leagues and may need to move a couple of times to find the right fit.

I saw many good staff/drivers in accounts which are inactive since Oct-Nov 2016. If they are not deleted then they are stuck there :(

for inactivity an account is removed of the game or is kicked of his league

As I understand it just kicked from the league.

This is a very good feature and I support its introduction. If however the time is reduced further I think a holiday setting would be a wise move.

It might be an idea that for accounts where there is no activity for 3+ months the staff are also released from their contracts and made available to the general market.

The developers are going to add a holiday feature, it's written in the post. And I like your second idea because there are many inactive accounts with good staff and drivers.

Well, I won't say a specific number, but the number of inactive players was a six digit number.

I think an approximate figure can be determined how many leagues that might be. Have to be conservative though, not all inactive leagues were ghost leagues. Poor folks who were active may not even know they're in a ghost league.
