I for one am sort of happy to see this. I have a freind in the game who joined the military and is serving right now in Irac. He was so nervous to leave and I feel so bad for him, I only wish I knew how to contact him out of game to send him encouraging letters and such. Anyway his character has not been signed into since October and I was worried he will come back home to it gone. Now there is hope. Who knows. I dont even know if the game will have any meaning to him when he returns or if he will even try to come back but I rather let him decide its over than arbitrary delete of accounts. I wont delete him as a friend in any case.
