Characters gone + Abbreviation help
« on: July 12, 2017, 01:39:35 am »
Hello! I've recently returned to Feral Heart after about five years of inactivity.
Upon logging into my account, I saw none of my old characters are there. I did create them on a different computer, so I suspect that may be the issue.
Also, I sometimes see abbreviations in characters' names such as "WBM" or "ABM." I'm not quite sure what they mean, and would love to know! (If there's a cumulative list of FH abbreviations that'd be fantastic).
Thanks for any help!

Hi there. First off, are you positive this is the account that you had with the characters on it? It's possible you may have had some other account that your characters were on. There really isn't a way to recover characters regardless so it might be better for you to just remake them on your account.

The abbreviations in people's names are usually abbreviations of the group they are in along with a rank such as an alpha, beta, warrior, etc... You can double click on people's characters to view what group they are in to see what the abbrevations mean ^^ They will often have character information in their bios so you can see their roleplay rank.

I also found that all my characters were gone, and I too had came back on a different hard drive.

As for the abbreviations, they are called a "Tag" and they stand for the name of the group that the character is currently in plus the rank. A character in a group named "Shining Hope" as an Alpha would have SHxA, the x in between usually separates the group name from the rank and makes it easier to read the tag. Basically a tag goes (Group name abbreviation)x(Rank abbreviation). You'll also find no x in some tags, but I think it's preferred if there is an x in the tag.

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

Thank you both very much!
I'll try and see if there's another account under a username I used to use a lot just to be sure :)
