Customization - A what if question. - Guild Wars Forums

Lets say you have a toon that you have played for a long time, but have gotten tired of the way it looks, or something of that nature, we'll say his name is Hot Dog (Warrior). Before you delete him, you put all of his things in storage or with a mule. Once deleted, you immediatly make another warrior named Hot Dog (since the name is available now). My question is, would the new character be able to wear and wield all of the high end armor and weapons the orginal Hot Dog had?

I figure someone has had to have tried this over the last few years, and I would just like to know if it possible.

No, customized items are for the character, not the name.

What Kook said. I tried this myself when I first started. Doesn't work.

It's like if your character, Hotdog (server code H001), customized a sword. That sword will belong to H001. If you make a new character and name him Hotdog again, that character code will be H002.

So H002 can not use the sword that belong to H001.
