Deleting Characters in future

[bourland]

Can someone explain the process for characters being deleted? Like, if I leave it there for 6 months? or, if I don't play it enough? What about people that have spent a butt ton of time on them ? is there a grace period or warning or a tab to reactivate on the character? Tell me how it will be done?

It's the NAME that will be gone. You will have to RENAME your character after 6 months absence.

So, if you make a character and then delete it, I would just use the name again because it is being saved for me. People not playing high level characters are going to complain.

1. Those people are gone though the devs probably should have gone back a year before taking names that are abandoned. Sure, the two people that come back will complain. Next?
2. I don't get the term "being saved for me". You either have a character that you have used within 6 months, thereby keeping the name on the character, actively being used - or - you have a character not interacted with within 6 months which means it has no name.
What is this about saving? There is no saving. A name is either actively being used or free for anyone to use. Don't overthink it.
3. Logic says that if you delete a character it's name is then up for grabs...

Why would you delete a character?

And if you did why shouldn't the name be up for grabs.

Ha, you don't know something, ha.
What are the odds of your deleted name being used while you are remaking the new character and giving it the same name? Say you play a Character to the first village, level 15 and want to redo it completely, you can delete the character and use the same name because no one is able to use that name yet, but you.
