Deleting Characters question - Guild Wars Forums

CaptCarnage · Jun 18, 2007, 02:55 PM // 14:55

I was wondering If I were to delete all my characters (all of them) leave my account without any characters for a week, then come back and remade a character, would people still be able to contact me using my old characters names?

EG:

Character 1
Character 2
Character 3

I delete all them and remake a new one, Character 4 (completely different name), will people still be able to see me through my old details on their friends list?

Thanks in advance, please do not PM in game or on the forums, it's a hypothetical situation I'm not going to give you any of my stuff/gold.

Simple answer, yes. More complex answer, this is because... aw screw it, yes

But what happens if someone else names his char like Character 1-3 ?

The name becomes tied to their account rather than yours.

I've had quite a few names taken this way.

What you also need to remember, when you add to your friends list you are not just adding that character to the list but their entire account (same when they add you). Consequesntly even if the character that they have added (or in you example all the characters) they are still tagged to your account. There fore any new characters you create on that account will come up on there list with the name of the character they have added but in brackets the name of the character you are playing.

Hope this helps.

Even if their name is later on taken by someone else, you still have the original name in your friends list( i think ) and it will stay the same person.
