Deleting a 50: What did you feel?
I have yet to delete a level 50. I do have characters at level 50 that I don't play. I usually just let them be or move them to other servers.
I did something last night I thought I would never do: deleted two level 50 characters (two tanks actually).
I had tried to play them both earlier in the evening and I had become increasingly irritated at them because they *felt* inferior to the tanks and brutes I had leveled to 50 since then. I wondered if I was just in a bad mood, but I could not come up with a slotting combination that let me enjoy them and as I thought about it, I really stopped enjoying them when I could never get them to "mature" for me. So...I carefully denuded them of expensive enhancements, sold some of it and mailed the rest off...and I deleted them. "I needed the space," I told myself, and it was true. I didn't want to spend the PPs to transfer them to another server (I have ranged characters who need decimation sets). It was still an odd sensation. Two characters who I worked pretty hard to get to 50 rolled under because they were, in effect, training wheel characters for the tank and brute I feel absolutely super playing. In the aftermath, I felt guilty, if not to the work than to the character concepts. "Maybe I should have been more flexible or something." Or, "I got you to 50, it just didn't work out." Time to play with the new hotness. |

Dark/Shield Build Thread
I posted upthread about how I delete 50s. It is very methodical.
But reading some of the replies made me think of the best re-use I have made for a character. I used to play a lot on Freedom, now I am on Virtue a lot. I have one character concept that I have transposed a few times into the city. He is a Vampire, from our tabletop Vamp the Perp. hassle campaign. I have him 50'd as a BS/regen Scrap. My Wife started playing, and i decided a needed a Brute to run with a Blaster she has. I did a free server transfer of a Egyptian themed Dark/Invul Brute 46th level from Freedom to Virtue. Got a rename free with that. Then I popped over to the tailor and used the saved costume. Viola! New high level character with a build I enjoy.
Won't do it. I'd transfer and mothball them, but I won't delete.

HOLY !!! Powerplay much?
I'll get an idea, I'll think about it for a day or two, then bug one of the roughly three people I know who are willing to discuss character concepts with me (Nuclear Toast will probably get cold chills from me saying that ), explain the concept, outline the problems I see with it, ask for what problems my conversation partner can add to the pile, then take some time to either explain them away or scrap the character.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
