Author | Topic : Account Reset | |||
admin Administrator Forum Moderator Posts : 5,000+ |
We’re adding an account reset option for users who have been with us for a long time but have an account that cannot be turned around. In order to take advantage of this, please e-mail us via the “Contact Us” link and we will approve kennels on a case by case basis. Once we get through the initial wave of requests and see how it works, there will be a way to do it directly from your kennel page.
We will not make exceptions for ANY of the requirements (other than mentioned at the end of this thread) and any requests to do so will not be responded to. This WILL NOT be expanded to make it easier to take advantage of, it is already much more wide open than we feel comfortable with. Eligibility Requirements 1) Must have been a premium user at least six-months ago 2) Cannot have bred any dogs in the past six-months 3) Cannot have shown any dogs in the past six-months 4) Must be a premium user right now 5) Cannot have sold any dogs in the past month What Happens 1) Balance will be reset to $2,500 2) Get a new set of starter dogs 3) Reclaim list will be reset 4) Nothing you did before the reset will count toward your prestige, including site seniority 5) Everything in your account will be forever homed There is only one exception that will be made and that is for the users who came back as a result of the “come back” e-mail that was sent out to former users a month ago. However, if you sell any dogs between now and when you request it, you will not be eligible. |

This is an excellent idea. And I think those requirements are very reasonable, hopefully this will entice some people back. |

I like it, I like it alot! I'm not going to take advantage of it, even though I came back as a result of one of those "come back, we missed you" emails 2 months ago, just because of all the work I've put in between then and now. However, I may have to quit again soon (am expecting my first child and dont know how much time I'll have for SD when it gets here..) and knowing this is an option will certainly make me alot more willing to come back in the future when I have the time, knowing I wont start out disadvantaged because I wanted my old kennel name back. Thank you Jeff. It's also great to see that user suggestions can help improve things for everyone! |

You are not *required* to use the reset option. |

TikiZowees, the exception is that you can take advantage of it even though you've shown/bred in the past six-months. Yes, there are both pros and cons to this. |

I think this option will encourage a few more players to come back and stick with the game. Can they reset on all of there family accounts if they left came back and followed the above mentioned Eligibility Requirements? Gypsy Wind Kennels- trust me during those sleepless nights when baby is keeping you up, you will need SD to keep you sane. I came back to SD last year towards the end of my 3rd pregnancy and frequent here alot thanks to my miracle preemies refusing to let me sleep. Mama Sky |

quoteThis is not an incentive for those that have returned already to stay. The way I look at it ... I get to loose almost 2 months of premium ... that's real $ not SD and all the work/time I put in it since coming back. It's not worth it! I do hope it works for you to get others to return! It is a good idea and I would have probably continued with the game if this was offered when I came back. |

What if you finish a dog then sell it and say 6 months later decided to reset it or whatever. What would the dog that got finished say who finished him. Then if you check out their champions finished it will all be gone. So who would be credited? Great idea though! |

quoteit will still say it was finished by that kennel. i had princepompaid reset and it still lists all the champs bred and finished but they just dont count towards its prestiege. www.showdog.com/general/user_information.aspx?user=princepompaid |

PP, thanks for letting us see that. I also like the "reset on" date as well. |

This sounds like a brilliant idea but I'm not totally sure I understand it. Jeff can you please explain it to me. I'm as thick as two planks of wood so... Can someone help? Do you just mean you can totally reset your account or what exactly do you mean? And what sort of user would use this option? I've read the whole thread so far and don't fully understand it. Thanks for adding this feature though Jeff. Anna <333 |

quoteI believe it means that if your kennel(s) meet the eligibility requirements then you can contact admin who will reset your account to how it was when you first started the game. $2500 in cash, no dogs, no prestige etc. But your champions bred and finished and dogs you once had will still show up under champions bred, just not go towards your prestige. When you reset, all of the dogs in your kennel are fhed I believe. Correct me if Im wrong. Pendrosia |

Okay. I kind of understand a bit better now but I still don't know what kind of kennel would use this kind of thing. Lol! Anna <333 |

Well maybe a person who has a premium kennel, but due to RL doesnt come back for 6 months or so, but has paid for a standard subscription for that time already (1 year). Then comes back with a messed up kennel and wants to start over? Pendrosia |

quoteEssentially, it is for someone that wants to start over in the game as if they opened a new account without losing their old kennel name. |
