Does STS keep chats and messages? If you do I would love to read mine.
What do you mean? Do you mean the pms you send to them?Quote:

However sts will not disclose this information as far as I can see due to security reasons and the amount of time this would take.
Just think, there are MILLIONS of players that play this game and they have every thing that everyone has done saved into a console. Lol u think 15 GB of data is a lot? Think how much is saved in data, I say its in the terabytes. Over 100million sentences over 10million trades, over 10 million IP addresses.
What reason would they have to keep a record of EVERYTHING you say? PM, marching in town, guild chat etc.
How would it benefit STS? What is the motivation to keep such a record? Are there local, federal or international laws requiring companies to keep track of all in-game communications between players similar to email retention laws?
Its not hard to see the benefit of tracking other metrics locatio, time spent playing etc. But chat logs?
Anyway like I said i would absolutely love to read through my old chats and PM.
10million ip adresses? And i thought i liked to exaggerate a lot. :DQuote:

Yes, this is for special reasons, Acc Bans, Illegal messages, and more. What if someone discusses something like a murder they did in rl. They can give that IP address to the police and the police will track them down and arrest that person for murder. (just an example) plus ipaddresses are for IP Bans. Im a hacker, I know a lot about the internet and what people do :). Hope this helps explain.Quote:

There are many reasons, mostly litigation. So play nice :)Quote:

Since we are just guessing here I would think it would just be a good form to keep a log for future user base issues (eg abuse, harassment, scamming etc).
But without hearing from someone with first hand knowledge all we can do is speculate.
Your ball JustG.
Been wanting to ask this for over 2 years. Glad I asked.

It's not as much a matter of common sense (or lack thereof) as much as it is a matter of simply preferring factual info over speculation and guesswork.
Would you rather look up a diagnosis with webMD or have a Dr diagnose you?
If your cool with webMD that's cool. I just don't roll that way. And that's ok too.
