How do Altoholics handle the character delete limit?

I'm an altoholic and I have a small perfectionist problem with the character creator. My problem is that I constantly delete and remake characters, because I'll make one and notice one little glaring detail I missed, or I thought of a better name.

I've already used up 2 of mine and I've only had this game for one day, because one I decided to remove face paint and the other I forgot about eyebrows and found a better scar to use and decided on a better name. Now I'm afraid to make more because I know I'll mess up one small detail and need to start over, because I won't be able to play a character with that little detail bothering me.

The delete limit is a great idea to block spammers, but is there a way to get deletes back because I know I am not going to last a month at this rate? I know, I'm weird.

    Easy. Go get some sleep. It'll be good as new when you wake up.

    Easy for you to say haha. You don't have to look at it for hours on end (whichever one of my many alts that I finally pick to be my main.)

    I am one hoping that a trip to the face doctor will be a crown shop selection. I've lived with a couple of faces I whipped up in the mad dash to grab Beta names. Being able to spend some time on them now would be nice.
    Now let's dig on the Dirt Mound... (never gonna get it, never gonna get it, NEEEEver gonna get it, never gonna it)

    I do believe you get your limit back after 24 hours. I deleted one yesterday and was back up to 3 today.

    How do we deal? lol make it perfect the first time!! :) Easier said than done, I know.

    If you need to delete more than 3 in a 24 hour period, you should let someone else make the characters for you :)

    Really? I read somewhere that it was once a month. This solves everything!

    Yeah it's definitely not a month! 24 hours, not too bad. It has been worth it, took care of the botters nicely!

    I have played since 5-day early access without break and have never deleted a single character. There is one that I'd love to have an appearance change but not redoing all the work I've put into him just for that.

    Slow down.

    Play with the character creator for a while and don't hit GO until you're satisfied.

    Took me the better part of an hour when I design my main on Day 1.

    Honestly, I really wish there was an offline character creator that could be used and then get previews of your character in various lighting, then load up the one you are finally happy with into the game. Or the ability to have a time-limit on making changes to appearance so say you could make small tweaks for a period of time after character creation (I made a character once who I only noticed had really bad scars once they were out of coldharbour and running around in proper sunlight).

    I certainly hope so. I'd pay £10 for a character slot, and I'd pay £25 for a max level boost.

    Hello, my name is &*%%*@, and I am an altoholic.
    I have resorted to playing on both servers so that I can have one of each race!
    As for the limited deletion thing, well it's good for the reason it was implemented.
    It's taken me upwards of 5 times to finally get certain races right, and yes, this is due to the lighting. The minute you pop out into the bright sunshine ~ shudder ~ back to the drawing board!

    As it turn out, you only get one delete back a day. I'm all out and I don't like how my Khajiit looks, or my Wood Elf's hair color, but I like their names. Is there a way for a GM to give me some back if I promise not to spam chat?
