As far as I'm concern they will only unban those account who had been banned due to inactivity, not those accounts that got banned due to botting or any other offense that broke the terms and conditions. Come on Guys, I know Joymax is bad but not that bad.

and the link leads to Forgotten World Teaser. :x

the TOS says that if you account used to buy premium, that it won't be cleared due to inactive.

Longer than that, I checked to see if my char was still alive after >1 year and it was. Think it was lifetime for characters with silk as there is more chance that if said player comes back they'll buy more.

Tired of there always being that one contradictory pessimist, be glad for once.
Maybe they were listening to all the complaints about people's accounts being banned, and thought,"Hey, we're slowly making this game better and attracting old players back. Why shouldn't they be able to play?"

I've been playing since 05 I have long since given up on that "be glad for once attitude" with JM.
I'm not trying to offend any1, just giving my 2 cents.

Lol i guess that if they unbanned they didn't delete it right? Deleting is one thing, another one is banning

Well that's most likely what they wanted you to think until they pulled something like this =\
Whenever has joymax been truthful in the past

Last time I played this game was mid 2007 and I had bought some silk. I quit about a month later because it was impossible to login and the next time I logged in was a month ago today.

Same account.

Lol I just checked, my account is unbanned. It had SoSuns and such.

It was banned for trolling the original silkroad forums.

Also.. how much do santa sets sell for now? Got shit loads on that account.

Last I read the TOS, it said inactive accounts "may" be banned for inactivity. Six months for non-silk, 1 year for silk. That means you could possibly get banned for being inactive, but might not.

I have to wonder why they don't just delete accounts that have gone inactive, especially ones that have never had silk. I don't think it's a storage issue because when they ban accounts, the data would still be there wouldn't it? If they ban AND delete, what's the point? Just delete the account and when the user tries to log on, they are greeted with a "you are not a member of Joymax, click to register" error message.

Your account got deleted and you want to play 2 years later? Joymax should be able to restore an account from backups. They DO backup their data don't they?
