Suspend Account
« on: September 07, 2010, 04:44:06 PM »
I would like the option to suspend your account In the account admin, there would be an option listed as "suspend account". It would pause payments for your account, and not let you log in untill you resume payments. If you try, a message saying "account suspended" will be displayed.

IIRC, you can call HTC and they will lock down your account for you.

It is not HTC's policy to normally suspend accounts.

I might be taking a break LLogan, but  I haven't decided yet. AH just doesn't seem as fun as it used to be, and even the good fights have lost some of their shine in my eyes, and so I might take a break for a year or two.

And why is my name in bold, btw?

Since it is possible, is there any chance we may see this feature being added? If there is, of course you will add to/modify this to ensure that HTC isn't scammed or cheated in any way. Even if there is a maximum suspension time of 3yrs, that would be great.

So, you want HTC to store you account for free, keeping the name on hold etc etc.. and them not charge you? I didn't pay for 2 months and they erased my old account. It's what happens. If you are afraid of losing your perks, let me show you my two fingered violin. I can't even remember how many I lost. Years of work.. gone. So why are you special in this? HTC is a business. If you want to come back after a break, and your name still be there, you had best keep paying for it. (Websites are like this for the most part, don't pay, loose that nice www.idontlikepayingforthings. com address)

I'm sure if something extreme happened, HTC would review your request. They aren't heartless, but they are a business. Leaving because the game has lost it's kick for you personally, does not constitute something extreme.

Oh, btw if you told me that you want me to hold your place in line and then told me the reason you want me to hold it is because standing in line has lost it's appeal, but you might be back later... Your spot would be gone before you took your second step out of the line. Unless you paid me, then it benefits me to keep it.

With all due respect Nemisis, this whole idea is harebrained.

calm down seph, I was just asking. No one but HTC knows the cost of keeping accounts active, and so if the cost was insignificant, it wouldn't be too much to ask for IMO. Hell, I'd be fine with a reduced payment, say $8.00 a month if thats what it costs to maintain the account, and give HTC some profit.


Damnit Vinkman, you had to go and tell him didn't ya  :D!

   Not wanting to lose perks is probably a good reason for most guys to keep their account active. If we had this option everyone would do for months on end, coming back at their leisure.

They will, for $14.95 a month.  As long as you pay, you lose nothing.

forget the perks, its losing the name that matters to me.  I have given up accounts with thousands of perkies, to get the name that I wanted.  In this recession, sometimes pennies count.  I am lucky i can afford to play, but there's lots of friends that had to quit.  Really wish there was a way to suspend the account, maybe a one time once a year/lifetime thing.  But that's HT's decision.

I'm saving 90% of all the money I make thats not already allocated to aces high, so I can pay my way through college if I have to. I'm trying to get a scholership, but I'm planning without it so I won't have too many nasty suprises. Since I may be taking a break, I thought it would be cool if HTC could pause, deactivate, or suspend an account, and reactivate it later. Maybe save the $180 a year.


And I could care less about perks, since I can easily earn the GV perks (about all I use) needed to use the M4A3 and the odd tiger without watching too closely.
