local dateTable = os.date("*t", timestamp)
-- Generate time
local creationTime = os.time{year=dateTable.year, month=dateTable.month, day=dateTable.day, hour=dateTable.hour, min=dateTable.min, sec=dateTable.sec}
local currentUTCTime = os.time(os.date('!*t'))
local resultDiff = currentUTCTime - creationTime;
local shardLifeTime = GetRuleFlagFloat("R_Combat", "ShardLifetime")
if shardLifeTime > 0 and resultDiff > shardLifeTime then
local shardid = GetShardID(NPC)
DeleteDBShardID(shardid) -- you could alternatively choose to not delete from DB, but for now it only holds XP debt recovery not items
