Where have the thousands of accounts gone from W25 if they're not deleted? It has only listed 124 players with a rank at present.
Yes, the accounts are listed in your alliance but that is the only place. Certain details will be kept in databases for historical purposes.
You're ranked Player 3 - but many in your alliance have no rank and can't be found in the ranking listings.
Whether players deleted after 2 years can log back in, I don't know.
You ask can I do anything. What exactly would you expect a forum moderator to be able to do when their voluntary role is to moderate actions in the forum?
Oh please! Not being ranked does not equal deleted. Anyone can login after 5 years of being away and return to the ranking. THAT was what the December 2017 post said couldn't happen.
I just did one for an inactive world, respawning bases in a world that last login was 2013.
So, in the final analysis, you proved to me that what EA said cannot be trusted. They claimed in their December 2017 post here (https://forums.ea.com/en/commandandconquer/discussion/181079/deletion-of-inactive-players#latest) that all inactives after 2 years will have their account data scrubbed. Let me remind you what was asserted:
"removed from this world completely, which means, that they have to start all over again as soon as they log onto this world the next time, just like a new player."
Well, I just respawned bases in a world that was last logged on in 2013, and the bases have the same level of buildings, defences and army units. So much for "start all over again,... just like a new player." Go tell your EA masters they should actually announce what they REALLY do, not make claims that are false.
