Question: What happens to a SG base when the last player with an active account cancels his account?

A) If he renews his account after a while, will the Enhancments and Salvage in the bins still be there?

B) Will the Base still be there?

C) If the Base is gone will the Prestige spent building it be refunded?

D) Will the SG be dissolved or remain intact?

Coming from someone who just reactivated an account after a year off, everything in your bins will still be there when you come back.

The only thing I know of that deletes a base is the last member quitting the supergroup.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Yeah, as long as there's one member in the group, the group and anything associated with it will be safe.

And - with the third question - the prestige doesn't belong to the players, it belongs to the entity known as the "supergroup." If that's gone, who would it be refunded to?

I think BBQ was saying if they kept the SG but removed the base. So the SG would get the Prestige back.

Ahh. OK, that makes more sense.

Yes. But you will need to pay your rent to re-activate and get access to the base.

B) Will the Base still be there?

Yes.... access will be granted when rent is paid.

C) If the Base is gone will the Prestige spent building it be refunded?

The only way the base would disappear is if someone sold everything bit by bit... including any enhancements & salvage, down to just the entrance room. The act of deleting is called "selling" because the prestige does get returned to the group prestige fund. I believe the only exception is with crafted items; I think the crafting fee is not returned (and of course the salvage used for crafting is gone).

D) Will the SG be dissolved or remain intact?

The only way to dissolve the Group is for everyone to either quit or be kicked from the group, and the last member quits as well. Then it is all gone.

My basis for this question is a fully functioning SG (and a VG as well) where the other four accounts have been deactivated for quite a while, where mine is the sole survivor. The other accounts still have characters in the SG, and I have no intent to boot them.
I have the luxury of knowing them all in RL, my best friend and his relations, so communication isn't a problem.

I might let my account lapse for a few months, should I be unable to play for those months (otherwise, I'm just paying for dayjobs to build up, and my characters have almost all dayjobs).

I'm going to clear the junk IOs from the bins just to get rid of them, (buddy accumulated junk sets to frankenslots his kid's and his brother's characters) and was wondering what to do with the "good stuff". It sounds like everything would remain (okay, the power will be off, but that's just a quick trip to pay the SG rent) fully intact.

Actually, there's a fairly common bug where you resub, come back and find that the rent is due but the contact won't let you pay it. Not a big deal, but it takes a GM to fix, so you'll have to file a ticket.

Actually there is one extremely rare instance where a group will be dissolved. Here is what has to happen though:
  1. Must be the sole member in the group
  2. Must have an inactive account for at least 90 days.
  3. Must be under level 5 (or was under level 35 for the first name "releases" and in the last 2-3 years no one has taken that name). Get a level 10+ to invite to group & quit.
  4. Must have been flagged during a name purge.
  5. Must have the name taken by another player after the "purge".
If all these conditions are met, the character gets a must choose a new name and they are dismissed from any group they belong to. This will disband groups if they are the only member.

Like I said, this would be extremely rare.
