When do you retire a character? Or do you?

I am an admitted altoholic. Worse than some, not as bad as others. So @ what point do you decide to retire your character? Is it after achieving a personal goal of wealth or loot? Completing certain content? Do you retire them in any "official" way in game with any kind of display or story or do you just banish them to the purgatory character login screen to await later adventures? Personally I don't really "retire" any of my characters other than deleting them when the mood strikes ( I said I was an altoholic!) & starting them differently from scratch. (Yeah I know that's a whole other topic!). Go!

    Personally, I don't retire my alts, but I do send some of them on long no-paid vacations. I have a hard time letting go of things so I don't think I could bring myself to delete a character I had played a lot with :s

    If I did decide to retire a character it would be after they'd completed every possible quest, and even then I don't think I would be able to

    I play the characters I want to. I might change what I play most due to changes Zos makes and wanting spice things up. But I have never "retired" a character in any game as long as I still play that game.

    I've retired two mains and it seems it only happens when I play with a class to see how it plays. After going through them all I landed and stayed at Dragonknight. Can't imagine retiring my Dragonknight anytime soon.

    I put a lot of thought into making characters and only make ones I'm sure I'll want to keep. But I also don't set any kind of schedule or rules for playing them, I just pick whichever one I feel like playing when I log in. So some of them might go unused for long periods of time but they're never officially retired or out of use and for all I know next time I log in I'll feel like playing them again.

    I really don't see a need to. Especially once you factor in the cost for mount upgrades, bag upgrades, time in leveling character & skills and economic benefits from having multiple characters.

    Although, back in the long, long ago I did delete several characters over time however mainly that was more about me learning the game rather than retiring the character. Still, I understand the need to start over with something.

    I try to retire a character from specific content after they’ve achieved everything possible from it. I’ll bring them back when new content is released. I recently failed at my own policy here and accidentally did Dawnbringer on the same character two nights in a row. Could’ve had the title and achievement unlocked on something else... :D

    My main has been going since launch, I've sent a few alts to data heaven - I hated to do it, but character slots... I've got to the stage where I have lots of alts that I don't really play anymore but can't bear to delete them. Mr Poosticks and Crookshanks are just in select screen limbo atm. I bring all of them out of retirement for festivals and events ofc and sometimes see a build that I want to try on them, but I usually default to my main. There's no real reason I stop playing them, only that sometimes I can't get to grips with a class or playstyle or I've got them to max CP and don't know what to do with them :D

    If by retire you mean delete, then no. I don't especially not if I spent tons of money and gold and time on them. I might make them crafters, or RP them as retired from adventuring though.

    __________________________Backstories:_________________________

    Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.

    Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.

    Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...

    Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.

    Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.

    The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.

    The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.

    Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.

    Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)

    And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.

    After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.

    After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...

    Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.

    Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

    Never retired one, never deleted one. Most have a detailed backstory, so they will stay as long as ESO continues. There is just one alt I rarely use. But I guess even if I grow totally tired of her one day, I wouldn't delete her, but rather use the race and name change token we got for free ages ago.

    Then I returned I killed off my old bank alts who was mostly joke characters and made an DK and a NB some time before Morrowind, had an sorc and an templar as main and alt, warden with Morrowind.
    I later on added an second sorcerer, templar and NB just to fill out the 8 slots for mules, still this was characters I leveled up and had gear for, added an necro with Summerset and an second necro with skyrim, not leveled up yet but did level up pvp during event.
    5 of them are characters I would take into an veteran dungeon, the rest are basically mules or to use during event but this might change, the second sorc was was an mule until I found I could specialize her for vMA.

    I do everything on my main. I have 9 alts but they were all created for guild rp sessions and I mostly use them for doing daily writs. I like them, I feel attached to them, as far as you can feel attached to a few lines of code shaped like a humanoid, but I don't really do any stuff on them besides occasional dungeon or battlegrounds to level them up a bit. Half of them aren't even level fifty yet.

    I never retire them. When they hit lvl 50 they also become crafters, so when I stop doing PvE or PvP with them, I still log them for the daily writs.

    Since my main PvP char got to grand overlord, I've started to use my other EP character for PvP for more transmute crystals and some variety. So only 3 non EP chars are pure crafters atm, and I'm looking to faction change one of them soon for PvP.

    Never.

    I have 18 characters. I have only ever deleted one, at an early stage before it was level 50.

    Most of my characters by this stage have countless hours played and vast amounts achievements, unlocks and content completed. Throwing all that away would be tragic and needlessly wasteful.

    This is why Zos needs to make new character slots available. Someone commented elsewhere that we require 36 slots. I mean ideally what I want is something along these lines...

    For each class, a stam and a mag character, for pvp and pve. So that's 4 character slots per class. Now add in a healer and a tank...

    You can see how those who enjoy theory crafting, creating, farming for and leveling new characters, need lots of slots to sate our creative juices and keep enjoying ESO in the way we have come to know and love.

    PC players may be able to shift their entire characters around with a few clicks of a button, not so for console players where it is a massive headache to switch between stam/mag and/or pvp/pve. Its also expensive as well as time consuming.

    I have 3 of every class and I play PvP regularly and most of them are level 50. Even the ones not on 50 have their mounts and inventory levelled quite well. I also have some toons kept aside exclusively for PvE(tank and healer) with up to date gear and I bring them out to play when I go PvE to farm sets or help a guildie. I do put in quite some thought before making a new toon so I don't have the need to delete them. I'm sure ZoS will bring in more slots when they bring a new class so I'm not much bothered about slots.

    I have 12 characters, a stamina and a magic version of each class. There's a couple of characters I play more than others, but I rotate playing with the others. Other then my main MagDK crafter, I'll play around testing new skill and armor set setups on characters. With the new chapter and the changes to vampires, I ran my main through for all the achievements. And now I'm tinkering with my 2 vampire characters to see how the skills work now. In a month, I'll probably be playing on another character for awhile. I have a few houses that my less active characters hang out at, conducting the more business office duties of the family enterprises. (<-- at least that's what I tell myself when I've noticed that I haven't played a character in awhile. :) , but I'd never delete any of them.)

    Right now I have 12 chars. 8 get to go on adventures, while the rest hold onto things and train daily at a stable. 1 is my main crafter, but the 11 others are all now training in crafting for the hirelings. 5 of the 8 adventurers are lvl 50. Moderate to bad cases of altitus and digital hoarding will probably cause more chars to come into being as time goes by. Right now I am at CP 809, so when I get home today from work I should make it to 810!
