Is there a Character you've deleted that you now regret?

ArchMikem

Couple years ago I had a Khajiit StamPlar, all three Alliance questlines completed and some of the DLC zones at the time. I have no real idea why I decided to delete her other than I wasn't playing her much at the time, and I guess I was in some sort of "spring cleaning" mindset. Now I really wish I still had her, not just because it'd be a character that already had all the Base Game content done, but because I've been really wanting to play a Templar that isn't my main Healer. I would just reroll one, but starting a new character over is super demoralizing for me, especially with just HOW MUCH content that's been released.

In eso --not really, but, in world of warcraft then yes.

Syldras

Never deleted one yet. If I create a character, I always have a complex concept (including background story) in mind, so I'm not very inclined to remove them.

KlauthWarthog

No, but there were several character that I regret having created, levelled, and then having to delete. Wrong alliance, wrong race, wrong class.

Necrotech_Master

i dont think ive actually deleted any characters yet lol

TaSheen

Nope. The ones I've deleted have just been "not my thing".

PrincessOfThieves

I've race changed one of my characters and I miss her original look. Tried to recreate it on a new character, but it always looks a bit off.

SeaGtGruff

I have a couple of characters who seem a bit "cringe" to me for one reason or another, but I'm loathe to delete any of them.

You can request a deleted character be restored. I've had atleast 1 restored.

You've just gotta submit a ticket and provide as much information on that toon as possible. The name, class, race, when you created and deleted it to the best of your memory, etc.

I think they also have you remove all items in your bank as some sort of safeguard.

Edit: added the word "class"

LunaFlora

i deleted a character once when i didn't have the warden class and forgot that you can't purchase the class in the character creation screen so i first made her a sorcerer and after buying the class deleted and remade her

No regrets - my time is now spent entirely on the two characters I had originally planned to have. My alts were fun for a short while, but became a distraction.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Nope. It was hammer time!

Mesite

My first templar. An altmer. I started the Maelstrom with him, and he became my first vampire. Almost got to level 50, but decided he had to go. Also my Breton nightblade who was superceded by my altmer nightblade.

El_Borracho

Getting pretty close on a pair of necros unless ESO makes them viable to play again

ghastley

I have not deleted any, but there are a few I created and leveled on PTS that never got re-made on live.

Soarora

I think about my first character sometimes but I never would have used her. She lives on through her girlfriend-- my main healer.

Jaimeh

Not deleted, but I've changed races in some of my characters throughout the years as the meta have shifted, and I really miss their old looks, and the same does for some vamp toons which I had to cure when they reworked vampirism (I liked the stage 2 vamp look on some characters).

Elvenheart

No, once they are created and leveled a bit, it would be like slicing away a part of my soul. 😂

katanagirl1

No, too much time and effort put into them with crafting and Fighters and Mages guild.

I had a stamina DK I made years ago, she only had Agility jewelry back then, never could get her PvP build strong enough so she got demoted to crafting dailies. I just recently I changed up her skills and got new gear for her since DK is so strong in PvP now. She is doing better and getting kills now so I guess it paid off.

NoSoup

I've never deleted a character. If it falls out of flavour I just don't log into it. I've completely respec'd many of my characters with name/race changes. Couldn't imagine I'd ever delete any of them as "redoing" might cost some crowns but it's a hell of a lot less effort than getting them back to 50 with all skill lines.

kargen27

Only character I deleted was because I picked the wrong alliance and I caught that one before level 10. I have a few I rarely play and I'm pretty sure I created to many Wardens but I will keep them.

I created a character on a 2nd account that I really like. I really wish I had created her on my main account.

Mr_Jord_Joe

I've already deleted several characters with hours spent, many of them because of my obsessive-compulsive disorder, I even practically abandoned a steam account with more than 5,000 hours only on ESO, today I no longer have access to that account, unfortunately, I'm back to playing the game this year on my new account of course, and I've been struggling with my OCD, but I'm succeeding, I'm not going to give up on any character anymore, because time is very precious, deleting a character is almost throwing away all the time and effort spent on it...

spartaxoxo

No. Every character I deleted was low level toons that I just didn't vibe with. I'd never delete a character with a lot of progress because even if I don't like it, often times there's ways to change it up later that I would like

Cadbury

I've never been 100% attached to any character I create, whether it was an MMO or a single player RPG. If I'm not satisfied in how they turn out, I don't hesitate in deleting said character and starting over.

rpa

Well, I once deleted a 'redundant' character which also happened to be one I had used to read all recipes. That was before I got into doing writs regularily and not a big deal other than for the event recipes which dropped like hail once and quite rarely next time. If I take an extended break from a mmo and come back I usually level a new character just to get into it again. (Too bad about AWA messing with that.) Characters are pretty much disposable for me.

geonsocal

scary thought though...

i've kinda thought maybe i might class change my redguard vamp stamblade...there is no class change token though...

i just changed their build up...it's helping a little...

Al_Ex_Andre

Not sure if it counts, but I am on the fence to race change my breton for a dunmer, because dps Magplars (pvp/pve) are not a good go. Was not advertised as such when I came to the game.

We will see.

This is like deleting my character tho, because I can't connect to dark elves, and this should cost my renew.

This is a good point. I have a few PC accounts which I can no longer access on PC, due to the size of the game. As I have no plans to buy a laptop with specs that will play ESO do they count as deleted?

Many hours. Many characters.

Hapexamendios

Deleted 3-4. No regrets.

amig186

Yes, one. I deleted my first ever character because I wasn't happy with the name, if I'd waited a bit longer I could have just used one of the free name change tokens ZOS gave everyone when they changed racial passives. All the other deleted ones were trash that I'm glad to be rid of, some of them seemed cool at the time but are cringeworthy to think about now.

I deleted my argonian nightblade and re-made her because I felt like I didn't know what I was doing with her, and then ended up giving her pretty much the same build when I restarted. But I was new and she was a low level character at the time so it was a non-issue.

The only other character I remember deleting is early versions of my warden. She started off as a templar, who I barely played because she was too similar to my other templar, got deleted and re-made as a warden which was a vast improvement and then deleted and restarted again so I could do the Greymoor tutorial instead of Morrowind. It's a trivial difference, but it always bothered me that the Morrowind tutorial didn't fit with her story at all and I just had to pretend it never happened, which I hate doing. The Greymoor one was pretty much perfect for her, including giving me a reason she'd want to head back to Daggerfall and then pick up the main quest. (Starting in Coldharbour, or the current tutorial, would have worked too but neither was an option at the time.)

If I've deleted any others I don't even remember them, so I think it's safe to say I don't regret it.
