Started again, still regret deleting him, but hey, that's life.

what? how did you ACCIDENTLY delete it?

Fungus Amongus · Mar 29, 2006, 11:24 PM // 23:24

2035 total hours played, 1178 on current characters = 857 hours of deleted play time.

My PvP only playtime is negligible, 15 minutes perhaps.

I have deleted a level 20 ranger, level 20 necro, level 20 monk, countless other (not level 20) warriors, rangers, necros, mesmers, elementalists, and monks. I should have just spent another few bucks for a second account. $50 is sure less than 857 hours of my time, that's for sure.

He must've been really really, really, REALLY drunk that night... but for some reason he can still type out the name of his character, which happens to be: ASDF JKL

Deleted my very first character (ranger lvl 20, who was almost everywhere before light camp), he was about 1 month old, he was too ugly so I deleted him.
Deleted my warrior who I loved so much but he was ugly too so he had to go. About 3 months old.

I'm about to delete the W/Mo I've used since the day the game came out...I don't use him anymore, heh...

SisterMercy · Mar 29, 2006, 11:51 PM // 23:51

Deleted:

1) R/Me who made it all the way to THK before I realized I just didn't like playing a Ranger primary, partly because I could never find group (before the advent of Winter, trapper teams etc., when Rangers were almost as unwanted as Mesmers).

2) Mo/R who made it all the way to THK before I grew tired of monk abuse. No, I don't have to join everyone's party, no I don't have to take the blame for careless rushing, bad aggro, being given little recharge opportunity, etc.

and 3) the real heartbreaker was my E/Mo who finished the game, farmed UW and FoW, even did part of the Titan Quests, and was very much like an old friend by the time the AoE nerf basically obliterated any fun I had in a profession that already had some big strikes against it (low armor level, exhaustion...). The day I deleted her, I basically stripped everything she was carrying, attempted to salvage my Superior Vigor rune out of her armor (and got tanned hides instead

), and then took her out to the oceanside cliffs on the way to the lighthouse in Lion's Arch, took a few last screenshots before she jumped....

Was like saying a final goodbye to an old friend. Much of the Factions Preview weekend was spent seeing if the new additions to Earth Eles would interest me enough to try to rebuild her, and I think the answer is still no.

Orbberius · Mar 29, 2006, 11:56 PM // 23:56

I accidentally deleted my PvE warrior, who was my first and most-used character.

I was rolling and rerolling PvP chars, and accidentally deleted PvE warrior. Had a few hundred hours on him.

Unrestrict3D · Mar 30, 2006, 12:05 AM // 00:05

I actually just lately remade a former W/Mo I had spent 300 or so hours on before deleting it a few months ago. Do I regret it? Hardly. I guess I just got bored with it since all I used it for was farming and such. Now that I'm broke I need another farming build.

Reks · Mar 30, 2006, 12:40 AM // 00:40

My list of casualties.

My first warrior: W/Mo, finished the game, UAS, and got him only the 15k Ascalon Helm. Not sure how many hours since it's been so long ago...

My first monk: He was a tough one to let go. Finished game, UAS, etc etc., and 15k Saintly Armor. More importantly, he was there during the prime of UW Monk Soloing. 333 hours... gone.

And now more recently, my Necro: 100 hours on him, finished missions, and got him two 15k sets. Only real reason I deleted him was to open up a slot for the FPE.

(yea yea I couldv'e imvited myself, but didn't want to).

Although these three have passed on into the Rifts, there is always new life to follow. I've since then remade my Warrior and Monk, and they're all done. Except now they're female. ^_^ Of course, then again I'll probably be rerolling my monk AGAIN just to get those new hairstyles for her once Factions hits shelves.

Lord Iowerth · Mar 30, 2006, 12:50 AM // 00:50

Only character i've ever deleted was an Ele ... who, in addition to being in my 4th slot and not having any 15k, was uglier than the south end of a northbound horse.

I now have a nice PvP only slot for my primary account. I could have done it on the 2nd account, but why waste all those unlocks?

The former ugly male air ele is now a very pretty geomancer

Fantus · Mar 30, 2006, 08:40 AM // 08:40

Once I murdered a level 14 warrior with like 50 hours of playtime to make room for my Mesmer. 50 hours was bearable in relation to my total playtime (which is approaching the 3,000 hour mark now)...

I don't think I could ever delete any character I have beaten the game with, though.

96TSi · Mar 30, 2006, 08:42 AM // 08:42

i deleted a lvl 20 ranger with 400k xp to make a necro

yesterday I finally deleted my elementalist that i made in the 1st guildwars beta event. she had close to 600k xp.

wsmcasey · Mar 31, 2006, 04:11 PM // 16:11

I just deleted all 4 of my characters, 3 of which were lvl 20.

I'm starting over fresh with new names and faces and extra slots for factions. Even though I invested 100's of hours in these characters, I just got sick of them. I've been playing since beta and have run out of things to do that keep my interest. I've realized that it's silly to hold on to things, especially video game characters. A fresh start is just what I've needed. Bring on Factions!

Blaine Derrick · Mar 31, 2006, 06:41 PM // 18:41

Well, it's not really one character, but I estimate that I have spent over 100 hours total trying to bring various PvE warriors through the game. I'll make one, play it for a day or 2 and then get bored with it/forget about him and delete him before he gets out of old ascalon. This has happened at least 10 or 11 times so far.

Hired Blade · Mar 31, 2006, 10:25 PM // 22:25

6 main charcter types 4 slots, I wish they had one for each kind. I would like to have one of each. after accending u can get all the second classes. I heard we will get 2 more, perhaps ill break down and get another account =)

Sir Skullcrasher · Apr 01, 2006, 01:31 AM // 01:31

I only deleted characters with bad names and rarely have much hours put into them.

Grais · Apr 01, 2006, 02:20 AM // 02:20

Today I deleted my ele, with a little over Million xp, and most skills unlocked, stripped him down and sold all the stuff(full Ragos set for 50k, guys was selling it 2 minutes later for total cost of 115k(good luck sucker WTS for hrs).Only lost one sup energy rune, on 3 sets of armor, 2 sup vigs salvaged woot. 400 hrs on him, but I was never playing him anymore, I mastered the ele as much as I desired too, so moving on to other 'toons, Currentley have ascended Rngr, Monk, and just started a warrior. Last slot is for my PvP 'toon of which I re roll a couple times a day if Im PvP'ng. I must say the elementalist has very nice undies, with a nice trim around the seams. Life is too short too hang onto these characters like they actually mean something(not saying 'your' 'toons mean nothing too you, maybe they do).

Kais Unduli · Apr 01, 2006, 03:31 AM // 03:31

I deleted my first elementalist, had around 50 hours on him. Being a nuker got boring real fast, but I kept finding groups, so I kept playing. Then I decided his name sucked, so deleted he was. Started another elementalist about 4 months ago, which I am much happier with now.

I almost deleted my warrior, because I didn't know you could change secondaries in the desert after ascension. Hadn't spent too much time on her, but the thought of remaking her after carefully 'designing' her was too much to bear.
