I'm also against the ret. destrict.

I understand the not giving an advantage to the top players but in your case, for example, no top players will take advantage of you for a max of xp. hope this won't sound rude but you're not worth 300 xp to any1 above lvl 28, maybe not to lower ones too.

What if it's a lvl 10 retiring? It would become a target for a bunch of players but only like lvl 9-12 or so. No matter who retires, he/she will always become a target for a limited number of players. That cannot be used as a valid reason IMO.

I do agree with the delete account button though but have a confirmation time (48 or 72 hours where the account is locked), so no1 deletes his on an angry move and regrets it the next day when he wokes up and realize he has nothing fun to do no more. Most games have it and if you really really want to quit and you're sure you will never come back for any reason, then be my guess and delete your account. If it's not there for me to see, it doesn't bother me and it doesn't affect any stats or aspect of the game.

There's a lot of good and bad for both side in this thread like Chief said but I just don't understand why retired players are protected from being attacked or mugged. We argued long enough in the past about mugging and every1 has to understand it's part of the game. It was made an option to be used, let's use it on any1 we can, active or not, period

This is also the first time I see this kind of protection/safe place for retiring players and I've played dozens of online games, with 100 as much as with 100k players. Inactive account could be deleted after x period (6 months in my mind looks good) of time though, to clear up a bit, just add a note about it when registering so no1 complains why they lost their account if they come back after a year. Maybe even make it to delete fed jailed after 30 days or something.
