I say don't delete. I have deleted a total of 3 characters in my time, and I now regret every single one of those deletes. Especially my original Monk, she should have a friggen mini pet by now :<

But I do agree, I need to not hate looking at my characters. I think that's why my Ele is gathering so much dust lately (but alas, the armor that I like for her is the 10k Ancient set at the end of NF! Woe is me).

Mr Jazzy · Nov 26, 2006, 09:13 AM // 09:13

don't do it. just buy a new character slot or something, but don't delete something you invested alot of time into.

EPO Bot · Nov 26, 2006, 09:42 AM // 09:42

I just deleted a character named "Gotta git me brotha" ("sucka" is not allowed by Anet),because the name got old after three minutes. I made him again as "Mister Dumah"

-LiamB · Nov 26, 2006, 10:07 AM // 10:07

This is the worst thing about me.

I always create the wrong sex chars:

I create Male Warrior, get him 15k Glads and decide I dont like it :| So I create a female warrior and get her 15k Glads;

I create a male ranger, Dont like 15k druids - Delete him (At Level 20 and my first ever char) And make a female ranger and get her 15k Druids

I create a male Mesmer - Dont like the way he runs, so I'm pondering weather to delete myself o_O

So, this is the wrong forum for this, but oh well, - I really want to be able to change sex' in Guild Wars

And I cant buy a character slot as I dont have a credit card >.<

Back on-topic now:

If I was in your shoes, I personally would'nt delete it - I cant bare to delete any of my toons with 15k armours. And judging by the amount of things you have on it, you must have put alot of effort into that toon. So, my 2 cents would basiclly be:

Not to delete.

Yes you can, what happens is they will basically flag your old nick as offensive and you will be prompted to change your nick the next time. That was what happened when I decided to rename my monk last time.

Delete him if he doesn't give you any more enjoyment, if he serves no purpose and your not having fun on him then it doesn't matter how many hours you invested in him. Unless you suddenly get amnesia you'll remember the time spent on him, no?

reetkever · Nov 26, 2006, 12:11 PM // 12:11

Don;t delete :O

You'll regret it later, what if you suddenly need your warrior for something to try out, you log out, log back in and when you want to pick your warrior, you see a level 12 female Warrior that is still stuck somewhere near the second mission.

I had that with my characters...

lg5000 · Nov 26, 2006, 12:23 PM // 12:23

I love all the people advising you to buy a character slot.. now I hope that you have a credit card on hand, otherwise, you can't even take their advise.

Seriously though, I found myself in a similar position with a mesmer (not a customised sephis but most 15k sets) and.. said mesmer is still around, though isn't played anymore and the new one still needs some work, but has all the skills of the last one and then some. Only reason I could do this though was that there are several spare slots on that particular account. As for deleting.. well... birthday presents + storage.... I'm not sure if I can delete her.

The exact reason why my two primary characters, and most other characters I create are female.

Anyways, my vote is for deletion. If there is something I do not like about one of my characters, whether it is the name, face, hair, hight, ect, I delete and remake. Probably the reason I have not recieved a birthday present, even though I have been playing sence beta...

Just be shure you like your new warrior before you spend anything on her - no customized weapons, 15k armor, ect. until you have played her for at least 3-4 weeks.

When I read this I kinda shivered, but then I stopped caring.

Female warriors are so much cooler, your right but i dont think its worth it with all the time you spent for that male warrior

Spirit Of Azrael · Nov 26, 2006, 04:01 PM // 16:01

I deleted y monk and made Irienys the Savior, my new female warrior ^.^

Thread = Over I guess

Priest Of Sin · Nov 27, 2006, 01:16 AM // 01:16

you deleted your MONK? Dude, you created a WARRIOR in favor of a MONK? If that avatar wasn't so cool i'd reach through the internet and slap you...

Markaedw · Nov 27, 2006, 01:22 AM // 01:22

atleast wait untill the present arrives before deletion.

Thallandor · Nov 27, 2006, 01:22 AM // 01:22

Often, you wont miss/treasure something until it is gone...

but then again, if you made your male warrior shortest in the height bar, i would delete him in a heartbeat.

floppinghog · Nov 27, 2006, 02:43 AM // 02:43

not worth deleting an old character anymore, unless its HORRID and young, mini pets every birthday, think of it as a gold investment at the very least (reason why i keep my ugly female elementalist.)

MMSDome · Nov 27, 2006, 04:17 AM // 04:17

think of all the work it will take, all the capping and all the money.

Dont do it!!!

arcady · Nov 27, 2006, 04:47 AM // 04:47

Spend a lot of time looking at a new character shortly after making it to be sure you like it. That's how I do things.

Better to delete before I level her up than after I've put time into her.

beltran13579 · Nov 27, 2006, 04:54 AM // 04:54

pay $10 for a extra char slot create the other char and see how you like it
