I can never delete my toons, I have placed one toon in every zone, up high, watching and waiting incase Paragon City needs me again.

Built this city, we built this city on fun and friends
You might not know me or recognize my face
But we all care who goes to that place
Knee deep in the villains enjoying the fight
Now the bad news eating up the night
Someone always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We just want to play here... someone stole the stage
They call us unimportant.. write us off the page
You play your hero, listen for the glowies, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on fun and friends
It's just another Sunday, on a King's Row street
CEO's have got the choke hold, oh then we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in to our avatars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're not a bunch of sheep
Looking for Paragon, cause love of the game runs deep
(I'm looking out over that IP bridge
Out on another gorgeous sunny Saturday, watching the Tsoo and Family)
Don't you remember the fun?
(It's your favorite game, in your favorite game world
The city by the statue, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)
Boombox rocks the music, do the monkey dance, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on fun and friends
We built this city, we built this city on fun and friends
Built this city, we built this city on fun and friends

I've deleted all the low level toons, minus a couple that means more to me then others. Tho their mids build remains. and so does my 2 personal bases.
The most important ones will never be deleted, but as i see it .. If and when the game is saved and able to continue - in it's current form or a different one. I'll remake those toons as the new era toons and the ones i've kept will be the old era toons (i'll make some fancy new - old ear when it happens 
) Plus i have some inf still if i need any..
I'm doing it so if and when i do recreate those toons it'll fill like a new game to me even if it's the same old game as before 
(oh .. and the game being the same old game as before... there is NOTHING wrong with that) ^^
Don't plan on deleting a one.
I just got into this game, there is no way I'm going to allow some pencil pushers ruin what time I have left to spend in the warmest, friendliest community I've ever known. So while I may not have legions of characters like many of you, I'm not deleting any of them.
Why would I delete my chars?
Just silly.
I'm on a Mac. Once the tool is available, I'll try making a Wineskin wrapper for it and seeing whether that works. (Admittedly, not my forte, but if I can get it working for me, I can certainly give that wrapper to the community)
I'll try with Crossover, too, if Wine doesn't work.
And I was never planning on deleting my characters. When I'm actually logged in and playing the game, I play as if nothing has changed. If the game can't be saved, I don't want my last memories to be getting rid of the characters I enjoyed so much.
I will hold off on putting on the thong song and tearing this place apart. Haha! Thank you Tony for all your efforts and also thank you to all involved in trying to save this game. Everything you guys are doing is greatly appreciated. I wish you nothing but success.
I almost gave away all my purples/pvp IOs but someone reined me in.
Certainly would never delete anything I put time into, whether it's an MMO character or personal writing or whatnot.
Good advice Tony!
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
Wasn't planning on deleting a single one. Keeping them all, right up to the end.
But thank you, Tony. For this, and everything else you've done and are doing to keep the hope alive.
My characters at Virtueverse
Faces of the City
No deleting. Got it.

My toons will be around.
I am going to be dumping some stuff, and Granny Warbucks will be dumping
about 10 Billion into the Crazy 88's INFcinerator before the End-of-Days but
all of that is intentional, and nothing I'd regret going forward (if such a possibility
ever presents itself).
I'll also echo Nethergoat's sentiment - It's a fine thing you're doing here TonyV.

I can't ever delete mine either.
I love the way everyone is pulling together to try to save our game, but I am feeling a bit lost as to what I can do... I wanna help, toooooo!

No worries here. They're gonna have to pry my characters off of the cold dead servers long before I even consider deleting a one of them!
Now that is very useful. I am hoping there is some sort of resolution to this that doesn't just end in an ending. This game is fantastic even though I regret to say I haven't been on it for very long. I was a freedom addition for all of three days before going vip...which shows that given time it would have worked. Alas corporate realignment. Anyways I want to keep all of my heroes intact, I put a lot of effort into designing them and even though they aren't at a level where I can truly complain, I have been working pretty steadily at leveling them and it would be a shame to waste that time.

Will this be able to include things like what you have stored on the market ? Also bases ?
Sounds like atm it wont, but could it be done as well ?
TY
Over the hills and through the woods.
Never! All I dumped were my superfluous name squats. No sense tying up good names I am not working on for the foreseeable future.
MY FAREWELL GIFT
It is never truly gone, as long as there is someone left to remember.
