Proudarmy46 Posted May 28, 2022 Report Posted May 28, 2022 Hi! I'm a user of the web who wants to minimize the amount of accounts I use everywhere, and I would like to delete my account on the vintage story site. However, I can't find the action to that (Nor an email to contact the team), so I'm just posting it here. Is there a way to delete my account on the site, and if not, could such a feature be implemented? My suggestion would be to add a delete account button on the account page (which is also recommended with GDPR), that deletes the account and all related information. It might be daunting, and I know game dev is hard, but I think I speak for a lot of people who are in the same boat, and would really appreciate it : ) We want to have control over our information on the web. As a final note, it's not the game, it's just that I want to move on. I remember I tried out Vintage Story a couple of years back and it was pretty awesome!
Streetwind Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 In the navigation bar at the top of the wbsite, there's a "Client Area" button. If you mouse over it, a submenu will appear, where you can select "Support". There you can create a ticket and request that both your game account and forum account be deleted. It's not the same as a delete button - which is a fair suggestion - but it should serve your needs. 1

Yes, although a dedicated delete button would be ideal, this will do : ) Thank you very much!
l33tmaan Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 I'm curious as to how this works with the game itself. Will you still be able to play it?
Michaloid Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) I doubt it, after all for your game account to stand, the forum one needs to exist. So if you delete the forum account you might aswell say goodbye to the game account. So if OP bought the game and wants to delete forum account, he needs to ask for a refund and then ask for both accounts to be removed. Edited May 29, 2022 by Michaloid 1
l33tmaan Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 Well, as long as they get a refund, I guess. But that seems questionable? Depends on the circumstances, I guess.
Michaloid Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 I say this because to buy the game you need to create a forum account, and use that to buy the game. But yes, i agree with you. The double account thing is very woncky and not optimal. But if Tyron were to change that he'd need to mess with everyone's game account at this point, so i'd say it's best to leave it be. What's done is done.
l33tmaan Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 It's only going to get harder to mess with it as time goes on.
Michaloid Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 Yeah, but the only con that it has is that it's kinda confusing to new people. Personally didn't have any problem, but other people may not understand much. Also i'm sure there's more than 10K of game accounts registered already. It'd be a real mess if he messed with it.
Guest Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 I have tried delete forum account to, i got this in email

I have been waiting for longtime and i requested this back in october/november. and yea, i already contacted support to.
LadyWYT Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 4 minutes ago, AccountInactive said: I have been waiting for longtime and i requested this back in october/november. and yea, i already contacted support to. Right, but did you ask them for a refund, or just to delete your account? Like the above users already noted, your game account is tied to your forum account, so I don't think it's possible to delete one without also deleting the other. I'm also guessing that Anego Studios isn't keen on deleting accounts without also issuing refunds, as that can very easily lead to all sorts of trouble, especially if the user requesting account deletion ends up changing their mind later.

I just dont plan to play or return to this game.
Guest Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 Also didnt know forum account is tied to game account. is there some documentation on that?

I'm not sure there's any concrete documentation, but if you have a game account then you have a forum account and vice versa, I believe. 10 hours ago, AccountInactive said: well i cant get refund i have more than 100+hours in it. I just dont plan to play or return to this game. Gotcha. In that case you're out of luck, unless something changes. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it; ignoring your account won't hurt anything.
Zane Mordien Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 I don't get these requests. If someone was that worried about their internet fingerprint they wouldn't have made an account to start with. Or they would have used a burner email address with a fake name they could abandon, connect with a VPN so there is no IP record and paid with a gift card to avoid being traced. How does an unused forum account with a fake name and burner email address expose you too? 1
