Title: Request Character Deletion
Post by: Hades on April 06, 2009, 12:35:03 PM

Given the good possibility that my main PC Alexander will be executed soon, I began trying to come up with a new character.  I made several pcs that I soon after realized that I messed them up, or they simply weren't right.  I've settled with one now, but my character selection is spammed.  Could I please have the following characters deleted from my account?

Account Name:  Memnock07

Characters to be deleted:
Amshel Lacusta
Marius Grenshan
Victor Svecht
William Gatts

I would greatly appreciate it if this could be done.  Thank you and hopefully this is in the right forum section... >.>

Character's can't be deleted or they don't do it. You have to make a new account if you want a clear list.

Characters can be deleted, but as far as I know, they chose to not do it.

The characters  can be deleted, but from my understanding it would have to be done physically at the server, and I doubt it's worth Axel and Soren's time to do that for non-essential things.
  They also don't allow Leto, due to rules regarding outside access to the server network it's on.

Phyiscal location of the server and the fact we cannot use Leto as stated above, means we simply cannot delete characters. Sorry but you'll have to surf like the rest of us  :lol:

It'd be handy, since I myself have a list of some useless characters that would enjoy eternal peace, aka delete.

You know that it is possible to script it in such a way that allows the player to delete the current character they have from the vault. The alternative server I play on allows this.

Why waste a server admin's time, when the player can delete their own?

That's a good idea...  Find the script?

They can't give outside write access to the server.  It's not a matter of if it can be done or not, it's due to the rules at the university it's hosted at.

Do you mean managing as in space taken up or actual activity from the host?  Becuase from other servers I've seen, programs like LETO could be managed by anyone with granted authority from the admin.

Activity from the host. We can't give out access directly to the server, as it'll give access to the internal university network.
