@Krinadon,

Sorry if I'm asking about this again but I wanted to clarify something. Not sure how this type of stuff works so these may be really silly questions. With released pets that are removed from the game, they'll eventually be removed completely from the system? Would released pets still be temporarily held in the system for people who may have accidentally released a pet so there's a chance still for restore? Then after something like 24 hours be removed completely from the system?

Edit: I was thinking this thread's become something completely different but it's still basically about sylesti death in a weird way. O_o

@Savynn,

We will never permanently delete pets from the database.

In the future, I will create a separate table for released pets. When a pet is released, it will be moved to the released pet table. If for some reason I need to restore it, that option will also be there for me. This ability would simply be for performance and would have no affect in game.

@Krinadon,



So there's no chance that it might become unmanageable in the future taking up too much money to hold all of? If there's no future problems with it then I'll feel a great sense of relief.

@Savynn,

The only affect would be it will increase our monthly fee for our backup service. But that's kinda inevitable. The bigger the site gets, the more information we'll have to keep whether we want to or not.

There will also be changes I'll make to pets table to make them much, much smaller. Atm, there's a ton of wasted space being held in every pet's row. I can't really fix it though until I can remove the old battle system - which I can't do until I revamp the first 2 regions.

So even in the long run, I'm not too worried about it.
