Who's Been Through a Character Culling?

I would never delete actual character Well... Two years ago I almost made this mistake with my oldest character, magblade. He was only level 12 but had lot of horse training finished and all crafts leveled. I really didn't like his face though At some point I decided I couldn't look at this face anymore. He was saved literally some moments before I was going to log out and delete him - some player posted "WTS vampire bite" in zone chat... I wasn't going to play as vampires, but that moment I thought "can try it, will be no harm since this character has no hope". Vampirism turned out to be his fate - it saved him from removal, and me from making big mistake

Appearance change token?

Also I see no point in creating more than 3 of each class, or more than 2 of the same build of the respective class, or even worse, same race in class, because they will most likely end up the same. That's why it's very unlikely I will delete a character, since they are not redundant in that regard. Leveling is pretty tedious, and that's nothing compared to gathering skill points, books, leveling AvA and Undaunted. So I'd rather quit the game for good than waste one of the characters I've done that on.

I have 2 mageblades and I’m leveling a third. Because unfortunately there are 3 factions and I need a character of my main class on each

I've 14 characters and there's only one that I would consider deleting(Argo mag warden) all of the others I use for different things

Just before One Tamriel came out, I deleted a whole bunch of my chars and remade some as other classes, it was mostly templars of mine who got the push. once I realised that ideas of mine weren't going to come to fruition, the main one being able to make stamina weapons work for magicka chars, the more I levelled them. So when we had 12 slots per server, I ensured that across both, I had 10 stamblades (2 on each server moonlighting as criminals), 2 stamplars, 4 sorcs (I don't believe in stamsorcs, for myself anyway), and 8 stamknights. I still have them, and more now. I hope ZOS keeps those character slots coming...

I truly admire such dedication. It's a bit scary though.

I think about it often...I have stamina werewolf tank that reminds me not all ideas are great ones. Maybe I will make to khajit to have a stealing character and dps. My first character was supposed to be nightblade but I miss clicked and picked sorc. This accident was probably for the better.

I have orc sorc tank that I deleted many times in my mind and reality. I am working on making a commitment...then again maybe I will give in and make an altmer.

I have ten characters, simply so I can have one of each of the following:

Stam/Magplar
Stam/Magsorc
Stam/Magblade
Stam/MagDK
Stam/Magwarden

That was when ZOS inevitably institutes various buffs or nerfs, I can always roll with the punches.

I only have 3 characters I actually do content on--a healer, a tank, and a DPS. Of those, my healer is the only one I've bothered clearing every zone with. The others get the skill points they need for their build and then I stop worrying about it.

I have never been afraid to delete a max level character in any game if I don't like it or need the space for something I'll like more. For instance, I really hated my 50 DK, I just couldn't get into DK at all no matter how much I tried, so I rerolled the same character (name/appearance) as a templar. No harm no foul, the only pain is leveling crafting & horses again.

But, I'd never delete a character that was just sitting there harmlessly. I have 11 level 50s with max crafting and the ones I don't PVE on make me a pretty penny with writs. They all have a purpose even if it's not endgame.

I've always found it a little funny when I tell people I deleted a max level and they freak out about how dumb I am though. Like... leveling is enjoyable for me. But the knowledge I've deleted characters causes so much angst.

Had six, all endgame, all the bells and whistles, whittled it down two recently and I’m so glad I did, my magic Templar and a stam (ish) dk, they are both tank/dps, the Templar also heals, solo builds really, the guild will call them in from time to time to help newer players through dungeons. I get very involved with a charecter, so much so that it gets deeply irritating if they don’t get used, also it’s freed up a huge slab of time and given a much better game life balance, I can get deeply obsessive and was definitely spending to much time in game. I don’t think I will do any more alts, just to big a time sink, can’t rule it out but a new class would have to be visually more impressive than the current batch and given the lack lustre warden I don’t think that’s going to happen any time soon

I've made my 15th character yesterday and proceeded to level previously created ones as well. I will likely end up with 15 crafters in a couple of months. I've destroyed some obsolete gear so they now have enough space to level and do the writs. The bank space will be a mess for the next few months, until the motif price bounces back, but nothing I can't manage

I deleted all my characters along with a lot of gold equipment... thought about quitting ESO since it sucked so much time. Missed it, now I am back but I play characters with some small backstory that mean slightly more to me, and I try to have more fun (gonna try werewolf PvP soon). More casually basically. One of my better decisions.
