So today I interviewed to Gals,
Vicki.Emoo, and
HeyThisIsGab who both got their Royalty accounts deleted a while ago, about 2 - 5 months ago. I started a new segment called "Accounts Getting Deleted", this is the Royalty Addition, I will also be doing Enjoy.
1) What was your
reaction when your account got deleted?
Vicki: I was shocked,
I was just in .beatbullying. I clicked on a topic saying 'I think vicki.emo is
deleted, and I was like 'Well I'm not.' Then I logged out, tried logging back
in, and the account wasn't active, I tried a few more times and then realized,
I was devastated, went red and burned up.
Gab: I saw it said 'This account is not active ' and I was
shocked. I thought for a while, 'what happened to my account?' and I realized
it got deleted. I started crying a lot, because that account meant a lot to me.
After some six hours or so, I felt better, but I was still really sad.
2) What did you try
to do to get it back?
Vicki: I tried emailing them three times but I NEVER got a
reply. I am so mad, and am still trying this day to get it back, I’ve used
loads of different emails, and still nothing, no reply.
Gab: I asked it many times on advice4newbies, madmadeleine
´s club. But I got banned and I didn´t really get the answer I was looking for,
so I gave up on that club but continued emailing Stardoll. My aunt would receive
every mail from Stardoll (and she deleted them without reading them) so I could
never see those messages.
3) How did you try to
cope with the situation?
Vicki: The hardest thing was telling my mum, she instantly
asked me what I did, and i truly hadn't done anything wrong, I had spent £60 on
that account, had 1000sd left, all of the suites, a stylist studio, at least 30
hotbuys, and rares, I was in tears for days after I just wanted to undo
everything, It wasn't until up to a week I started realizing it was gone.
Gab: It´s weird, that I created this back-up account right
before Gabriella_991 got deleted. I preferred this than ModelUser (my older
back-up account) so I created this just in case I got banned from some good
club or something like that. The next day, I noticed it got deleted and started
making this a higher level. When I got to level 8, I replaced ModelUser for
this account. I desperately looked for cheats on internet, but none worked. So
I asked my aunt for a Superstar membership as a Christmas gift (They didn´t
give me one, they live far away) and she paid it. I became Royalty and it was
super easy to get off Gabriella_991 now. But I still miss that account...
4) Did you ever think
of just leaving Stardoll?
Vicki: Yep, I did for a short amount of time, my stomach was
churning when I went on a backup account, seeing loads of other people with a royalty,
and just wanted the same to happen to them. So I decided to leave Stardoll
forever, I kept it up for a week finding myself wanting to explain to my
friends what happened, so I came back on a backup called vicki.qwerty who then
also got deleted.
Gab: To be honest, there were five seconds in which I
thought that, but I couldn´t. I´ve been playing on Stardoll for an amazing 5
years and I couldn´t just quit. Stardoll
is awesome and a deleted account wasn´t going to change that.
5) What was your
first solution?
Vicki: My solution? Well I didn't have one, I just wanted it
back. What I wanted was everything I lost, I wanted a new membership, but I knew it
couldn't make up for what had been lost.
Gab: I quickly started sending an email to Stardoll. Okay,
maybe two emails.
6) Are you now “ Ok”
with the fact that your account is gone?
Vicki: No. Not at all,
I've learnt to realize it's gone but I am willing to do anything to get it
back. I still have this account which is a superstar, but I doubt I’ll keep
upgrading. I just want what I lost back.
Gab: I got over it now. I can live without it, especially
now I have a royalty and one-year superstar doll. I love this doll, and
Gabriella is not so important to me now. But I do miss that doll... A lot.
I hope you enjoyed this segment. If you or someone you know has lost theire account, please tell me, so they can get their story out, hopefully we can all learn from Gabrielle, and Victoria.
