    Yes it's easy - lose the shortcut to this forum from your browser, and don't look back!

    perhaps is the reason i want to unsuscribe, because i've no freedom to do that.
    quod erat demonstrandum

    anyway i open a ticket, may be they can do it that way.
    thanks for reply

    Why would you ?
    Being a registered user of these forums gives you access to posting in them; why would "unregister" achieve that you cannot do already (like, simply not post ? or not visit ?)

    Now people ask for "rights to access removal" ... in the name of "freedom"... (/facepalm)

    is not unpopular in internet the use of unsuscribe from a service, for different reasons: you do not use anymore, you do not like recive email, you do not like at all, you do not want to be associated with in...
    so i do not really understand your complain, it is my choice and you have zero words in it, but you can always say what you want, because of freedom.

    So what ? If I don't like the pub next door I simply don't go there anymore, but I don't ask them to change the lock so that I cannot enter anymore.
    Registration on a forum simply ensures that other people cannot post in your name, that's all.
    As to email notifications, you can deactivate them all in your options.

    Your "request" sounds like a quit post in disguise.

    i mean unsuscribe from forum as cancelling my forum account. the only option i found (i think the ones you mean) are the notification preferences, that do not solve my intenction.

    normally i do not like argue about logic, i'm pretty sure you are better then me, but any single blog, forum, website that i've seen has pretty much the unsuscribe option.
    is not the case to troll this post, i just asking why such important forum do not have this basic option like all other offer.
    try to understand there is nothing wrong with the post in itself.

    Game account comes with forum registration. It's attached as part of your account. Only way is to not open link to forums, as I suggested above. Try doing that.

    and after few suspensions i made your account will be closed

    another way - to lead game account to permaban, or refund the money for it

    when you lost game account the forum accoun will dissapear too

    The ability to delete the account should be there, not the ability to delete post history.
    But, I also don't think you should be able to delete and account and start a new one to hide from past misdeeds.

    But, as long as personal information is stored on a server, it is vulnerable to hacking.

    No. If you don't want the emails you can unsubscribe from those. If you don't want to post then don't, if you were looking to unsubscribe then subscribe again under a new name that is not possible without buying the game again.

    Can you guys just back off?!

    OP asked about if there is any option to deactivate his account. If he wants to do so, it's his choice, and if you cannot offer your assistance, move on. Like seriously...... 'People posting in his name', what name? I have several different names in this game, and here I displayed only 2. If he doesn't want his account anymore, then he doesn't want it. Deactivate it. Sure it may not be 'his' but it is linked to his e-mail, name, has his password. He should have at least the right to remove those.

    I think that every service should offer an option to deactivate the account. No more e-mail, password and other info stored.. Their post history though, that could be discussed. I hate having more accounts than needed associated to me and if I was to quit this game for real, I'd want it all deactivated.

    Use @Marrtha when replying!

    i do not mind post history stay visible, neither to start a new forum account, that is also impossible, because associated to your game account (once you unsuscribe from the forum you should loose the option to start a new one, even changing email adress)

    one reason, that is not mine thought, is that you give your game account at your friend, but you do not like he post on your name.
    this should be the most common case.

    If that were to happen then he could ask the mods to change his forum name. There's an ongoing request thread for forum name change somewhere.

    Giving your game account to a friend is against the TOS.

    Customer support can delete your forum account if you ask them. I've seen it happen on the German boards with this user:

    Email requesting under the various data protection acts of the region that you are giving the required notice to have your personal information removed from the server. That will do the job. You may lose your game account as well so bear that in mind.

    this also is a thing that i do not know: it seem strange that you cannot give as a gift or even sell your "property", but if is like that, now i know. anyway as i say is not my case.
