D - Check for defunct MUD users, etc.
During the BETA testing period, one of the features which got left until the end was the deleting of MajorMUD users when the actual BBS account was deleted. This utility will walk through all of the MajorMUD characters and confirm that the BBS account still exists. If it doesn't exist, you will be prompted to delete it (at which point, X will take you out of the checking). Note that if you choose to not delete the MajorMUD character, the next user to login and create an account as that userid will 'inherit' the MajorMUD character for that userid. This option has been expanded to include the option to delete MUD players who have not played for a while, or who do not appear to be really 'playing' the game. For these users, you will be prompted to see if you want to delete the player and you will be shown a bit of information regarding the amount of time they have spent, experience earned, etc. If a user has not played since before either version x or y (I forget which), then you will see the following in the user description under this option:

Total time played: 0 minutes
Last played on 00-000-80 (5664 days ago)
This is not a bug, it merely indicates that the game does NOT know the last time they played, nor how long they have played - you will have to evaluate each of these users yourself to determine if they should be deleted (ie. ask yourself when the last time they logged in, if they play mmud, etc.).
*** NOTE ***
If you choose to delete a user, THEY ARE DELETED. There is no undo.
