Can I reactivate (for gameplay) a Lurker account?

Hello!

I'm thinking about making Aditya my OOC Lurker account when I take my WOLF sabbatical. When I want to return to the game, can I switch him back to Inactive - Approved and apply for Lone Wolf? Is it that simple?

Lurker is just an OOC designation/title, so I don't think there would be a problem with that if you'd like -- I'll wait to hear from the others for an official ruling ;). I know we don't plan to make OOC accounts a fixture. Lurkers and inactive accounts have the same permissions AFAIK with regards to seeing the forum and OOC subforums.

IIRC Lurkers have a smaller inbox than regular accounts do, so that is a consideration if you are looking for an account for PMs.

Right, although I don't believe I can post even in OOC forums when I'm inactive, correct? I'm not all too concerned with PMs.

Yup -- that would be the only distinguishable benefit, as far as I know, for having an OOC/Lurker account while you don't have active characters. Hope that helps! <3

I believe it does for now... thank you!
