I will either re-roll a character very quickly, or they stay with me forever!

Once they have lasted a month or so, then I find it impossible delete them. Even the bad ones have their own personality.

I messed up the name of one of my characters by mistyping "Vengeance" as "Vengenace" and didn't notice it until he had reached Level 20. Could I delete him? No!! He had his first birthday two weeks ago and got a nice Charr Shaman :-)

I would rather purchase an additional character slot than delete one of my characters.

I created one character and didn't realize that I was unhappy with her name until after I bought high end armour. Now I have just left her waiting, unplayed, until the day that aNet allows us the option of name-change.

Just one option, aNet... Just one single opportunity to change a characters' name and so many people would be better off.

I say allow one name change for each birthday the character gets. I think that would be fair and balanced. I'm also hoping we get some face/hair change options with GWEN since we won't be able to make new characters there.

Destinyy · Jul 05, 2007, 12:38 PM // 12:38

bye bye birthday pressie...

Seriously, for lik 8 Euro, rather get another slot?

I have 12 chars now... lol, I only play on 3 or 4 tho, but I have the others there... cos you never know!!!

Personally, I think you are insane and I reckon you will regret your action shortly...

Yes Insane you can buy a new character slots for $9.99 thats like buying a month with $1.10 which is cheap cos you really cannot buy time.

onerabbit · Jul 05, 2007, 12:55 PM // 12:55

This is only bad if you feel you have done something really wrong.

Acehigh · Jul 05, 2007, 01:15 PM // 13:15

I've made,deleted and remade 3 monks with max armor,and made,deleted and remade 2 necros with max armor:P Reasons for that was because i got bored of playing them very quickly,and when i only had 4 char slots because of only Prophecies being out.

QFT. As long as you are having fun, why not?

While I never deleted a character with that much investment, it took me about 6 times making Eles, taking them halfway through a campaign, and then deleting them. It was all cool though, I enjoyed it!

It's not just about money, obviously. I my case, I had plenty of slots (I'm casual, so most of my slots are filled with Characters level 10 or lower) -

It's about starting over. Some people delete their main, and made a new one (same name) to access certain Titles (survivor or Legendary Defender for example).

Some people want to keep the name, but have a new face, hair, sex, etc.

Some people want to keep the appearance, but change the name.

There are a million reasons to delete a character, time spent on said character notwithstanding: In the end, you own the game, and you can play it the way you want.

(Hint: you don't actually have to finish any of the campaigns if you don't want to, either!)

redant751 · Jul 05, 2007, 02:33 PM // 14:33

I can't do that,I have deleted toons when I first started but after finishing a chapter,I can't see doing that.
At this moment I have 2 accounts with 14 toon in each.

Onarik Amrak · Jul 05, 2007, 02:34 PM // 14:34

I'm sure he's not the only one. Except all others are probably in Mental Hospitals.

thor hammerbane · Jul 05, 2007, 02:41 PM // 14:41

This is why you choose your names carefully..But I would love to rename my Monk, We Be Monkin :/...No way I'm going to delete him tho..thats just crazy..You crazy crazy guy.

Healers Wisper · Jul 05, 2007, 04:01 PM // 16:01

First off OP I dont think you are insane, Maybe a little nuts but not insane. I have deleted a couple charactors, mostly because I didn't like the way the class played or what not.

My only real comment to make about this is that you should really think about your cahractors more when you set them up. I know alot of people who run through the charactor creation part in 2 sec, and throw the first thing that comes to mind on their name. The a couple months later they think, why that name was I drunk? Solution take some time, find the face u want, name it something creative, and then enjoy the game.

On a seperate note: I do not support name changes or face changes: But ANET Please give us someone who can change the char hair!!!

Thunder79 · Jul 05, 2007, 04:06 PM // 16:06

Are you insane....no

Are you an idiot....no

Did you do something stupid....yes....everyone does something stupid now and then.

I did something similar with my very first character....who would easily be 2 years old now if I hadn't deleted her. One night for some reason I decided to delete her...may have been her looks...wasn't the name since I still like the name. Lost a couple good sets of 15k armor and about 100k in gold when I deleted her. I have no idea why I did it...but like you it was when I was tired. I got a thought in my head and did it before my brain kicked him to correct itself. Stupid Move? Yes.

Now she's the most rerolled character on my accounts because she's my favorite character and I'm going for legendary survivor with her.

Lol

I think I will go for a survivor title on this character tho...I saw a good thread a while back about farming Jade Brotherhood to get it.

Anyways, I'm glad I'm not alone in this suddenly cold, cruel world

After playing the game for over a year, my fiancee finally decided on a naming scheme that all his characters hold up. Well, he had already made three lvl 20's (warrior, mesmer, ranger), all with 15k armor and none had the approved naming scheme. So he deleted them and remade. Of course it only takes him a couple days to grind up another lvl 20 and he has one for every class already (all under his naming scheme).

I still think he was crazy lol. IMO it's worth the ten bucks to buy a char slot so that all your hard work isn't wasted. Then again, I am a packrat and we are a dual income family so 10 bucks into too much of a strain whereas it might be on other people.

Guru is not a recognised method of assessing mental stability. I recomend you see a health professional for a proper apraisal.

Don't take the easy way when going for survivor...play the game as you normally would as much as possible...see how far you can get...when you eventually do get survivor you'll be glad you did it the hard way.
