Delete and redo character?

[Jacra]

Is it possible to delete character and its belongings/lean-to etc? I was placed by the guide into a desert full of snakes everywhere, no chance to make a living there or start reasonably. But I like to go by my name ...

You can't delete a character without getting it killed, which isn't overly easy.

That being said, walking out of boston is a perfectly viable option. Plenty of low ridge terrain nearby with the right biome for a beginner.

And there he will also most likely get killed ;)

To answer your question Jacra, no you can't. You can probably ask someone nicely to kill you, but other than that you're better of creating a new char with a similar name.

You still can't use same name when your char gets killed. You can create char with same name but only on different account. (awkward but that's how it is)

It's to reinforce the whole permadeath thing, that character is gone for good type idea.

That 'awkward' in () was about stuff in second sentence.
Lets say guy A starts selling metal in boston. Here comes guy B. He creates char with same nick and just scam ppl or spam kin everyone and insult them in pms.
I would like to see unique names. Name used=name unusable for good on all accounts(or for +~6months after char dies).

Unless you kin someone they can tell you their name is anything they want even if it's not really their name. And if you had kinned the first guy then you would notice the new guy was a different guy.

Don't just kin them. Give them an additional one word phrase so you remember who they are like "MagcMan" if you kin one of my characters or "townie" for fellow townmembers.

They can give you any name they want was my point. Kinning is the only way to see someone's actual character name and even then anyone can name their character the same apparently.

Basically no matter what you do there is little if any guarantee of a person's identity.

Oh, I agree, but if you have certain circles of trust, then you can use those to keep track of characters you've kinned, even if they have the same name. Man, I don't know how many variations on Kurgan there were in EQ back in the day... kind of like Legolas or Gimli in LOTRO).
