Read the following if you have not seen this yet.

Inactive Account System Disabled

Hello Gaian's! We have decided to disable the inactive account lockout system. This means that anyone who could not access the site due to their account exceeding 2 year inactivity threshold should now be able to do so. We apologize for any inconvenience this system has caused. If you had filed a ticket and were waiting for a response, consider this your answer.
Access granted!

All outstanding tickets regarding account access from this system will be closed out.

This imo, is a great thing. I have heard of some people (one of my friends included) still not get a reply months later for petitions on an inactive account.

Are you happy they have changed this?

Edit: One of my friends quit trying to log in when he never got a reply for his old accounts after 3 months. This was a year ago. It may help bring back old members as stated by a poster in here. It would be nice if more people decided to return to Gaia do to this.

I am the embodiment of fear and evil

That's my reaction. I had like 6 accounts (not counting 8 guild mules) which were locked and one of them had my zOMG rings that are tradeable. So I'm super happy to hear this, though now I have an extra Sweetheart ring. lol

The best news, when the art of my OC comes in, I can actually put it in my OC account's signature which I was worried that I wouldn't be able to since it was locked. emotion_awesome

Hopefully we will see a bunch more items in the MP! Some items have been lost in these inactive account lockers/inventory. At least I hope this happens! So many items I want that hardly anyone has because they are so old emo

Well, thank ********. That feature was vastly more annoying than it was secure.

It was a good idea.

I suppose it might make it easier for hackers to hack into old unused accounts though xd

I'm crying right now. I haven't been on this accounts in forever. and Now I'm finally here. ; u; I can take all my stuff and leave this account for sure.

Although... I kinda like the name of this account, so I might keep it hm. Not that I need more than one mule anymore.

Yes! I know my friend who was locked out had at least golden laurels on him amongst other things.

It's about time.

I feel users affected should have gotten a bit more than a quick sorry in a dev notice for all the trouble this caused. It is sad that real announcements don't even get posted in announcements these days. Then again a lot of us don't read announcements anymore so . . .

I'm kind of glad! I mean, I'm too lazy to sign in on my mules these days, but to know that I can, is nice. Maybe this is their way of hoping to regain some older members? XD
