Battledawn and Supermechs somehow merged in a way that lets a player use an SM account to play Battledawn, and use a Battledawn account to play Supermechs. I have no idea how this started, and to be honest I don't really like it, as accounts often get mixed up and sometimes completely forgotten. However, I like the idea of resetting your account for a fresh start, but first they have to find a way to get around the twisted accout situation.
Hate to say it, but that's how Super Mechs started...
Super Mechs was built upon BattleDawn's system and used them from the start.
So, no, we didn't merge it, it is just based of the same platform.
It's worth noting even if it was just SM, we probably wouldn't delete an account. If someone would regret it we'd have to undo it (especially if he bought tokens), which means adding a tiered system/very specific backups. Then all the additional data would have to be removed, all the game stuff adjusted (clans you lead, medals you have, past replays with other players.. A lot of data in the game depends on your account, it would need to be removed or programmed to handle this gracefully).
Most of it is probably built with some checks here and there just in case, but taking the time and effort to make sure people can delete their accounts without inconveniencing anyone or causing a security issue (.....get on your pc, delete the entire account...) could mount up to quite some issues/work, even just for SM, it may not be worth it (especially as you can just create a new one).
Whiping account data (ingame stuff) would be a bit more likely but with similar issues...
I'd say: Make a suggestion to add this feature and if there's lots of interest we will discuss and maybe create it.
