Try to keep suggestions to one per thread please.

This has been suggested before to have a delete character function, but I'm pretty sure with the game works you still wouldn't be able to reuse the same name anyways.

A custom client will make it alot easier to see the various forageables, with the items to forage showing up on your minimap.

Idea: Character Deletion

As title says, a button on character select to allow us to delete characters. I am unsure if anyone else has done this, but when I first started playing I was under the impression that the different cities shown after right clicking the boat were just that - cities, not servers, and would like to remove the extra characters I had made to see what the other "cities" were like. :lol: at myself. :p

Try to research your ideas out a bit before posting here. It really doesn't help any making a new thread when the exact same idea is suggested multiple times. Duplicate suggestions merged.

Basically, character deletion serves extremely little purpose. In a more real sense, character cannot be deleted, since there may be things (leantos, crime scents, &c&c) that still refer to them, so it would break the entire world integrity. Also, I wouldn't be so lenient as to let you reuse a previously used character name just because you delete it. ^^

Given that, the most character deletion would do would simply be to delete the character from your list of characters, which is a purely cosmetic function. While that may still have some value, of course, I see before me a thousand posts of "my character is gone i just clicked delete and confirmed it what is this **** give me my money back", so no. :)

Also, being eternally haunted by a hundred empty eyes staring at you wondering why you never play them, just might keep people from making unhealthy amounts of alts. ^^

Haha! Ok, I can see the reasoning behind that. I just wanted to shorten the list (its 4 characters for me, since I made a new one on Plymouth to explore more of the world while I was affected by the knockout bug). I have no real use for them, being that they're on other servers, but maybe I'll just map out more of those servers with them, too.

Yes, yes. I'm addicted to mapping the game. ^_^

I discovered a way of getting your character deleted - get player-killed :)

Be wary out there Mr. New Player!

So, how does the world's integrity remain intact when a character is killed, since there may be things (leantos, crime scents, &c&c) that still refer to them?
