Oof. As a hardcore supporter of WorldAnvil since it's very inception, it's a really, really rough wake-up call to realise just how customer-hostile they are when things aren't going smoothly.

I let my subscription lapse because I was leaving the platform. I intended to delete it eventually.

Now though? It's all set to private, and since you can't have private worlds as a freeman, I can't access them. Tells me to go to dashboard and set them to public.

Only I can't... ->

Because doing that leaves me with no loaded worlds. So I try to load a world. But I'm not allowed, since it's private and I'm a freeman. Catch 22.

I can't even delete anything, since I can't access the dashboard. I ALSO can't export anything, since I can't access the dashboard.

My stuff is essentially held HOSTAGE until I pay to get it back. That's...that is such US capitalist bullshit I don't know where to start.

Well, since I have everything exported anyway, I figured, I'll just delete my entire account. That'll do what I need anyway.

Turns out, nope. You can't do that. It logged me out, but I can log back in just fine. I AM NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO DELETE **MY** STUFF without paying them money.

Ho-lee-fuck.

@TheToblin WOW 🤯 That's terrible! I barely use it, even though I wanted to make use of it more. Maybe I'll save my stuff and cancel now.
@morgurth Yeah, I was not happy. I've been as close to a fanboy as you get, but I've had a real wake-up call in the last few weeks...
