Account Deactivation (Question)

[FuzzyDuck]

How long before my chars will be wiped from the database if I deactivate my account? I gotta leave for a while due to school work 'n' stuff and then come back with DoY or another update.

Somewhere in the rules or faq or something it says your characters are safe for 3 months before they may be purged.

I've heard it said on more than one occasion by KK staff that so far they've not purged anyones' old characters for time reasons yet. So theoretically your chars could be safe indefinitely (but only 'guaranteed' to be safe for 3 months).
