From the character deletion help page:
The time it takes for a character to time out is based on the number
of levels the character has:
- 12 months for a level 1, all levels 1 char
- 19 months for a level 10, all levels 15 char
- 27 months for a level 15, all levels 30 char
- 37 months for a level 20, all levels 50 char
- 49 months for a level 25, all levels 75 char
- 64 months for a level 30, all levels 104 char
Characters above 104 in all levels are currently never deleted.
Characters which are not in an account delete 6 months faster than
this to help release names created by people just checking out the game.

Hi, if memory serves, you’d only lose a char/game would remove it if
you were inactive for 6 months, and the char level is 0, so for
example, if you reset an existing char and just left it, it would
eventually be removed.

*Subject:* Re: [blind-gamers] Can't Log In to Alter Aeon Via Client
I haven't logged in for about 6 months. So when it said "invalid
name" I thought perhaps the name had been released because of that
extended idle period. But based on the fact that the game itself
recognized the name as "in use" and the fact that I was able to
successfully log into the web portal, I tend to agree with others on
this list that something is off with the client I use. But thanks
for the clarification, Dentin.

can't create a new character with that name, because it already
exists.
If you want to reset the character, log in with your email
instead, and select the restart option.

That's not exactly germane to the conversation :)
Heather has the device and client she wants to be using, and
the question is whether or not she's able to get connected.
Going into technical tangents of what's possible with the
device, while totally cool (I'd be a lot more interested in
a Braillenote touch if I could load Linux on it), is not
going to help her figure out why her current client is
refusing to enter text correctly.

Change your client to point to port 3010 and they will
go away. If possible, using mush-z is your best option
for playing Alter Aeon. On 6/18/2024 11:42, Heather

months. When I tried to log on with my character name, I
got the message "invalid name, trx another". So I tried
logging into their secure login portal on their site.
This worked splendidly and my account info looked just
fine. So I went back to my client and tried to re-create
Coralthewolf. I got the message "name is already in use"
which of course, it is. So the game itself clearly
recognizes the character. But after closing the app
completely for several hours I got the same "invalid
name" message, even though I know I'm typing it
correctly. The only thing I can see that might be
strange is that at the very bottom of the screen, within
the client, are quite a few lines of code: numbers,
letters, quotes, question minks, and the plus sign, in
several configurations. I have no idea what, if
anything, it means. The only understandable lines say
Alter Aeon v2.25 or something like that. Has this
happened to anyone else? Any ideas what's going on?
Should I try to create a new character and if that one
logs in successfully, try to log it out and log Coral
io? Thanks for any responses. Heather
