Character Deletion

[EvoltStorm]

Why does it take me 7 days to delete a character when my friend only took 5 minutes? I screw up on my character and want to reuse my name but i gotta wait 7 days to do that? That is not cool! Why is it like this!!!

This might be a stupid question but.. Are you deleting an ingame character or an entire account? Because I am surprised about the 7-day waiting timer. It should indeed take 5 minutes.

IT does indeed take 6 days for char deletion. I opened a ticket and NCSOFT said the feature is working as intended and they will not be deleting them any faster. Really stupid imo cause i cant create a new char on a less populated server to play the game i payed for haha.

I believe every character above level 15 or so (correct me if I'm wrong) takes a lot longer to delete than characters who were just made.

No feather. I beleive they changed it with a hotfix and made it 6 days no matter the level cause mine was level 8 when i tried. Then again at 12.

It's likely a measure to combat RMT. I think when you reach level 15 its increases to a week.

 

No more than an hour would be fine I think.

 

You could put in a ticket I guess but that might take a fair while.

I doubt they applied it to all characters and levels, since I've deleted and remade multiple characters from levels 1 through 4 today with the 5-6 minute timer.

6 Days is kind of extreme, but maybe it's needed cause maybe the game is like " you spend a lot of time on this character, are you really sure you want to do this?, we will give you some time to think about your decision"  lol

I have deleted two chars today due to server changes and both times..was approx 5 min.

It's probably to counteract people getting their accounts scammed. If their support replies within the deletion timeframe, all their characters and costumes might just be saved.

6+ freaking days to delete a single character at such low level(??????)... are you kidding me? it's ridiculous..

One of the worst things I have seen in an mmo.
