Doesn't work with the tools we have access to.
Actually don't think i ever saw that option much ever on any site.

Contact account support would be my guess.

Interestingly enough, this does not seem possible in many other games too.

Neither in City of Heroes/Villains, nor WoW, nor Chronicles of Spellborn, nor Age of Conan, nor Rappelz, nor any other game I tried/played so far, have I ever found an option to completely delete my account from their records.

In Spellborn I even had to contact the support by ticket to stop my subscription, because they did not even have an option for "freezing" a running subscription at their account management section.
That alone would have made me stop playing it. Besides other issues.

After I contacted one of their GMs who told me what to do and then wrote the ticket with some choice words on what I thought of that practice, I simply received a reply from support with the word "fixed".
And that was it.

Two days later I received another reply that informed me: That my subscription had run out due to "problems with billing". *LOL*

So, while I don´t like that practice of keeping account data infinitely too much too, it seems it´s sadly common practice in the industry.
At least that´s my experience.

But up until now it never did me any harm.
So, just don´t subscribe and you´re all set. ;)
Und, schade das es Dir nicht gefällt.
Auch wenn du nur "mal sehen" wolltest ;)

What's the problem? Just edit the fields and remove your real data if you are no more interested in the account.

The only data that should be possible to delete is the billing CC info, if retained, and most mmos allow you to remove CC info.

This is really a pointless question.

Bonus: ich hab mal recherchiert wem die ryzom.com domain nu gehört (alles mit whois) und hab herausgefunden wo der besitzer überall mit drin steckt. Der Verein bekommt von mir keinen Penny..... Was ich da herausgefunden habe......nenene

Sehr sehr hilfreiches posting wenn du uns nicht sagst was denn, ich werde jetzt sicher nicht anfangen zu recherchieren. Das die Domain Winch Gate gehört wissen vermutlich die meisten, wer die sind die wenigsten (die sich dafür interessieren).

Die Problematik ist nicht unbekannt, geht mir mit Microsoft oder Google ähnlich ;)

You are serious? Just create an hotmail (or similar), verify ryzom and forget it. It's not nonsense, just common sense.

EDIT x Mokoi:

that would means there will not be auto-recurring payments allowed?
