We have removed the Permanent Account unlock today as all accounts will now be permanent. If you had this unlock you will have received a 34,995 platinum refund and a banner. The platinum store is looking quite empty now with various bundles being removed as well. I'll see if I can get some new things added soon.

Shrubbed accounts will still be subject to deletion as normal.

It is currently Hunted Cows intention to remove Permanent Accounts from Legacy. With our new Hunted Cow account system and the way it works it draws light on the fact that we are currently the only one of the HCS games to purge old accounts.

Instead the system will now auto-kick members from gangs once they reach the point where their account would have been deleted. Members of gangs who achieve a certain gang rank (as yet undecided, post in comments) will be immune to auto-kick.

Players who have purchased Permanent Account status for platinum will be refunded 34,995 unbound platinum. With a current total of 14,032,995 platinum about to be refunded this is no small move but I think it's the right one.

The merge is now complete, if a little rough around the edges. You'll be glad to know that my login script once again checks if players are banned before logging them in and your Legacy character will now show on your Hunted Cow account page.

I've made an Announcement post on the Hunted Cow forums, once I've cleaned up a bit we'll be telling more people about it. Old player banners are coming your way next, the wiki will be fixed after that and I should be adding a Legacy forum to Hunted Cow just for consistency. Use if you wish, we're not removing the forums here though.

Well, that took a lot longer than I planned. The account merge is now in a state where old players such as yourselves can resume playing Legacy. So I'll leave it at that for tonight, there are many things I still need to add so I've hidden Legacy from the Hunted Cow site for one more day.

You can merge your account in to your Hunted Cow account now, and use it to login. There shouldn't be any issues. The following features are still not added yet.

Development Server is down until further notice.
Wiki logins will work only for non-merged accounts.
Old players have not yet been granted their banner for being around for this event.
Legacy accounts do not show in the Hunted Cow accounts page.
Legacy does not have its own forum on Hunted Cow yet.
The support link at the top has no category for Legacy yet.

As soon as I wake up tomorrow I will continue with this and hopefully make it far more awesome. You can hide the Hunted Cow bar at the top of pages in Options if you find it annoying.
