How long do messages stay in Elden Ring?

Intro

In Elden Ring, players can leave and read messages on the game’s world, known as "Notes". These Notes contain information, tips, or even cruel jokes from fellow players. But have you ever wondered how long messages stay in Elden Ring? Do they disappear completely, or are they deleted after a certain period of time? In this article, we’ll explore the answers to these questions.

How long do Messages stay in Elden Ring?

According to Bandai Namco, there isn’t a specific retention period for messages in Elden Ring. This means that messages can remain online indefinitely, unless the host of the message deletes or archives it. Messages are not automatically deleted, but they can be affected by server maintenance or account termination.

Disabling Messages

If you want to disable messages completely, you can do so by turning off your online connection in the game’s settings. This will eliminate any messages you’ve seen, and prevent new messages from appearing. Disableing messages will also shut off other online features like online multiplayer and co-op.

Deleting messages

When you delete a message, it will delete your copy of the conversation. However, deleting a message does not mean it will be deleted on the other player’s device or on the server side. The message still exists on the server until the host of the conversation deletes or archives it. Deleting a message from your device does not restore it to its original status, it only removes the copy from your device’s storage.

Other considerations

• If another player replays an areas with a message, their device will download the last version of the message: This means that if an area has been replayed since the message was edited, the player will get the updated version of the message.
• Offline mode: If you access a message while in offline mode, you will have the option to save your changes. However, this will not update your device’s copy of the message, it will merely store the changes locally

Conclusion

In summary, messages in Elden Ring do not have an automatic deletion period. Disabling messages will shut off all online features, deleting a message will only delete your copy of the conversation, and other players who replay the area will continue to see the updated messages. It’s also important to note that online content can be affected by server maintenance or account termination, so it’s wise to keep this in mind when playing the game.
