How can players delete accounts?
Lets say I mistakenly signed up as "ASH" and screwed up that account. Now I want to begin anew, by signing in as "ASH" again, but now its blocked because that user name is already taken!
Also, if many players re-create multiple accounts again and again like emails, and not use them, the bigDB object limit can be exceeded by their trashed playerObjects alone!
In case that happens, it won't be fair to the players if I had to go over to the admin panel and delete some accounts! I may delete an account someone is already using!
An account expiry system is also useful. . If majority players play as guests I can exceed the limit easily, but with relatively few consistent players. Thing is, I dont know where to put that code. Obviously it has to be on the server, but then again, how can I detect if an account has expired if someone has never logged in thru that account and created a game?
I think a global housekeeping server can be due.
Also, how do players change passwords , login names and email addresses?Players wont want to redo their account again simply because they have used a new email and/or forgot their password!
