01

Current services

The website and game services keep the operational records needed to serve pages, run accounts, save the world, diagnose failures, and protect the service. Do not place credentials or unrelated personal information in a public report.

02

Historical material

The recovered archive contains material that must never become public: plaintext passwords, email addresses, IP addresses, account associations, session values, hidden profile fields, private messages, and staff records. Public derivatives exclude those fields.

03

Handles are not identities

A historical character or forum name is presented as part of the record. It is not automatically linked to a current person or account, and it cannot recover or claim modern access.
