Dear Devs,
I am a member of the military and whilst I understand that removal of characters that are offline to clean up the servers, I will never be able to play this game as I am routinely taken away for 4-6 weeks every 8-12 weeks. Whilst work arounds like company owned assets is great, map discovery will reset too I assume on new char creation.
Perhaps a requested AFK option that allows players to ask for an extension??
Not sure what it is like now with University / College but there was plenty of exam periods in which I would pack all games away for at least 4 weeks for study period then exam weeks.
Please rethink this going forward.
