Account deletion takes 30 days. During this time, your account is inactive. After 30 days, the account, including your username, in-game items, and personal data, is permanently deleted. Your username will become available to other players. You have 25 days to contact support and request cancellation of the deletion.
Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

Reasons for account deletion vary. Some players lose interest, while others seek to overcome gaming addiction. Deleting the account can be a significant step towards managing gaming habits, especially in cases where excessive gaming negatively impacts work, studies, or relationships. While account deletion might seem like a solution, the desire to return to the game may resurface later. For many, it's a responsible step to regain control over their time and focus on other priorities.
