Either Sonic/Rad or Fire/Rad. Haven't decided yet.

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 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.
I don't delete 50s, I just strip them of their enhancements and turn them into marketing mules.

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.

This. I only have about 15 50s, and I worked to get them all there. I love playing all my 50s occasionally, except my hated arrow defender, and I still won't delete him.

No chills. It's always interesting to see what people with real creativity can do.

But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
