Julia Evans wrote: 27 Apr 2026, 13:17 If you deactivate your account, can you get it back? So if someone deactivates, and decides to come back a few months later but wants to RP with their old character which was deactivated, is this possible?

You can reactivate a deactivated character, but in order to do so you would need to deactivate your new character. You would not be able to RP as both.

I've outlined the steps below for ease of reference:

1. Deactivate PC 1 (after 6 months)
2. Create PC 2
3. Wait at least 6 months
4. Deactivate PC 2 and in the deactivation request, mention you would like to reactivate your previous character.

Ok, but instead, can I do

1. Deactivate PC 1 (after 6 months)
2. Create PC 2 under the name of PC 1
3. Upon registration ask to reactivate your old account.

I'm confused on what you mean as create PC 2 under the name of PC 1? Can you elaborate more on this?

So after I deactivate, to come back on site, i'll need to go through the registration and sign-up again. Essentially meaning I'll create a new character, but what if I want to do this?

1. Deactivate for ___ reason
2. After a few months gets back on Hio, and creates a character by the name of Julia Evans
3. Where I fill out history, fiom, etc. write a note at the top asking to reactivate Julia.
4. Log on to Julia's account as normal and continue playing

So you would not be able to create another account with the name Julia Evans. The site would block you from doing so as we cannot have two users with the same name. Even deactivated your character would still exist on site. You can reach out to us on discord or create an account with a different name with the information asking to reactivate Julia. This is overly complicated, especially when you anticipate returning. I second Avery's recommendation, don't deactivate your character as it's not a requirement.

Deactivation is only a requirement if you anticipate creating an entirely new character. We have plenty of users on site who were inactive for a period of time, and then returned, hence why the advancement program exists. Once they returned, they either continued with their current character, including trying to catch them up to their current year if they were gone for a long enough time, or deactivated their current character, and created a new one because they didn't want to continue with their original character for whatever reason.

Can I edit a shops name but keep it essentially the same?

You can do whatever you would like to your shop since it is under your ownership. So yes, you can change the name but keep the premise.

You can change whatever you like in your shop. If you wish to, you may change it completely

How do you make money on your iNPC?

Hi Alexander, you can't collect the daily stipend on your iNPC account. You can make money by creating a shop, doing errands which give money as rewards, or by sending money from your PC to your iNPC.
