Don't.

You may be looking to recapture the wonder and excitement of starting out Gw.

It doesn't work. Because you will not be new to the game.

EDIT: Yeah, I recently remade my necro Zahr Dalsk, but that's because the old one sucked and dated back to when I started playing Gw. Plus, the old one was Tyrian. The new one is a hot Canthan necro.

Deleting and "restarting" is best way to quit game imho.

done it with Diablo 2 - when you go thought pain of deleting several L90+ characters with best gear and just tossing everything on ground in camp in public game called "Free Stuff" ... you never restart, it feels too much pointless.

So, if you want to quit GW, delete all your chars.

If you want to play, deleting characters is damn pointless (if only because of 3rd year minis.)

Already did that when the HoM came into the game. I only have my legendary survivor monk for pve and the rest of the roster is pvp only.

There really is no reason anymore to have more then one character for pve since the pve skills allow any character to fulfill just about any role.

I did it a couple of months before Xmas, in a sort of make or break mood. I also went for all NF toons (except Factions only professions). I now have a couple of things I never had before - one toon that's done all 3 campaigns (instead of 3 that have done 1) and a fast approaching "full" HoM.

Before re-rolling, I did take a month-long break and I think, together with a fresh start, that did help rejuvenate my interest in the game. It's a shame I'm 2-3 years away from the next line of mini's, but I only had one toon that old and he usually got crap anyway.

the pack rat in me shivers at the thought of deleting level 20 toons that have finished the game.....mules (level 7 and under) no problems.....any character that I have put time and energy into---just a no can do on the delete. If I am bored with a profession then I just dont play that one for a while (had the problem with my necro as well but for different reasons.).....but eventually I find that I want to play that character again and they get dusted off (and a few bday gifts opened....) they end their 'mule' days and begin a new.

but OP if you feel comfortable deleting---go right ahead, I just say put everything in storage that you think you might want/need and hit the ole delete button (and type the name in....)

You will regret it.

If you really want to start almost from scratch, put all your money and items on your old chars and buy a new char slot.

I absolutely agree with zweistein, sure way to get bored of a game.

You should just play another game. I am playing Panzer General for Windows at the moment for example.

Uber Mass · Feb 20, 2008, 11:03 AM // 11:03

Just put gw away for a few months and go play something else...

Malice Black · Feb 20, 2008, 11:07 AM // 11:07

Been there, done that...twice.

Bluefeather · Feb 20, 2008, 11:22 AM // 11:22

BWAHAHAHA just done deleting them all except for Reyna Bluefeather.

I feel good and I'm going to restart a new Warrior now!

Too bad I forgot to salvage the armor but it's okay.

thanks guys. at least i retain a character

Malice Black · Feb 20, 2008, 11:28 AM // 11:28

Restarting can make the game more interesting, but missing out on guild events sucks.

I started replaying a few weeks ago. Now have a lvl20 warrior, and a lvl16 paragon which is still on the noob island.

angmar_nite · Feb 20, 2008, 01:12 PM // 13:12

You say you restart because you keep getting stuck on missions then switch characters so you have something to "brag" about. If you're getting stuck on missions, you have nothing to brag about.

If you truly want to start afresh, get better at the game with your established characters before deleting them.

MithranArkanere · Feb 20, 2008, 01:43 PM // 13:43

Just to get Survivor or to play again through the game? You can play again any mission with the current existing character.
The only thing you will get is a lot of quests to do.

You will be punished you for the sin of re-roll.

Bluefeather · Feb 20, 2008, 01:50 PM // 13:50

guys, don't make a big deal out of it. i already deleted all except one. and let's keep moving.

i already have my new warrior now. named Glint Bluefeather.

i've always been a solo player. but not anymore. coz i have heroes who will never run away from battle.

let's go and play the game now.

this thread has already served its purpose.

thanks for all your reply.

The moment I'd have any hesitation to delete game characters because of the "progress" and "achievements" invested in them, I'd remember this quote by Tyler Durden from Fight Club:

"The things you own end up owning you. "

Kusandaa · Feb 20, 2008, 02:18 PM // 14:18

I won't get it really >_>. I've deleted and remade several characters (before I knew there were gonna be gifts =_=) but in the end it's always your call.

Rothen Kithkanan · Feb 20, 2008, 02:42 PM // 14:42

I did it last year, deleted everything and started a new ele. I kept all cash and everything i had in storage though. Just means i can now focus on one toon rather than trying to decide which of the many to do something with

But no one has any title.

I used to be a member of a guild (Holy Order of the Light), but when it became in-active, I quit and never joined any guild since then.

I have a copy of all chapters (including BMP), i have purchased all available skills unlock (including core) and I have an extra account with GW:EN.

Recently, I was playing Nightfall as Derv and I got stocked in Gate of Pain. So, I decided to play as Paragon which I have quickly made to Survivor Level 1, but got killed when I was doing a mission on Prophecy. So, I decided to make another Warrior which I was also made to Survivor Level 1 in only few hours (one playing session...less than 3 hours i think.) But sadly, it died again in Prophecy when I was playing with PUG.

But one thing I have noticed is that the game is easier now (maybe because of the improved H/H support) so I thought I will just delete all my characters (I have already used up my character slots) and start new. 1 Character per chapter.

I think I will still be able to finish 3 chapters (and GW:EN) before the release of GW2.

I know I am about to get another mini (for 2nd year anniversary) but i'm sure it won't worth more than 5k (i got imp for my 2nd anniversary).

So this is what I will do.

1. Salvage all crafting materials from the armors of all my characters.
2. Salvage all runes and insignias.
3. Sell all saleable items like mini pets (I have 4 first year and 1 2nd year) and will probably give me about 10k all.
4. I'm going to retain all my weapons (nothing rare, just ordinary gold with 15^50 | /20/20 | 30HP mod) for my team (me and my heroes).
5. Empty my inventory (excluding the crafting materials) either by NPC or free giveaway in Ascalon.

Since, I am beginning to like Nightfall, I am going to create a new Warrior and will concentrate on this character and finish (1) GW:EN (2) Prophecy (3) Faction [i hate Faction] and (4) Nightfall.

The only title that I may be able to get is SS and LB because I am really not good at detailed game (i won't even attempt the HM).

I hope I will have enough gold to buy the armor from Consulate Docks and to buy one Elite Warrior Tome (8k), a 50HP Rune (15k), +1 Sword Rune, +1 Strength Rune and +1 Tactics Rune and other insignias that will increase my armor. My current gold is 12k so probably i sell one of my swords.

I am excited to do this.

had the game for 29 months and you have only beat proph? It sounds like this could help you alot just to start fresh but do you want to spend another 2 years beating 1 campaign? it is up to you but you should stick it out. Are you a casual gamer? how often do you log on in a week?

I know this sounds harsh but you should get better the more you play the game and yet in 29 months you have only beat proph, and have no titles what so ever, I know people (casual players) who have only had the game for a few weeks and have a few titles and 1 to 2 are max.

stretchs · Feb 20, 2008, 03:19 PM // 15:19

I have never deleted any characters, I hate putting all the time/effort into them, I would rather keep them, and just have another spot to create another one over deleting. As for your situation, if you really wanted to start over, keep 1 character, put all of your things that you have worked hard on him, and then start over, you may find that you really want that character back and still have him to play.

FeroxC · Feb 20, 2008, 03:26 PM // 15:26

Go for kind of a big deal r1.
Last double ss/lb event i realised after over 2 years of play it felt like i haden't achieved anything in GW due to not having any titles. So i dusted off my Paragon and went for them.
So far ive got SS,LB,protector of cantha & protector of elona.

I literaly hero/henched all of them at an astonishing rate despite not putting that many regular hours in. Its been cool having an actual objective to aim towards, i definetly recommend it.

- You'd get more respect from noobs with 100% cartographer title, because they understand what it means, having the title on their list. Go ahead and show off your 3rd rank KoaBD title and people go "lul wut's dat for?"
