And i love it! All my characters are deleted, i sold all hero items for cash and i converted most stuff into norn powerups. Now i re made my little monkie Rhona in pre sear and i instantly enjoy the game again.

Just relaxing, strolling trough the fields and knowing a stash full of wealth and power is waiting when i get to post sear... It's so much more fun then the ordeal of taking eight characters in a row trough GW:EN.

I learned my lesson: No more then one character for me!

Okay? No more new minipets for you either.

Well, maybe if you buy them.

me, I like having variety, although I've been letting my ele collect dust alot lately, and my necro is slowly going that way as well now that I have heroes that Mm better than I can. :O

Actually, i stored some minis form my other characters. I may have downsised, but all my work is far from lost. And with all those norn cups i now have, legendary survivor should come smooth.

There are no babies, like there was no spoon.

Nice to have all skills unlocked for my future heroes too.

Done that before, myself. I now only play 1 char. Could never drag so many through the game anyway, not enough replay value IMO.

I haven't purged my account or deleted any of my characters, but I have sold all their stuff and made about 400k off of all of it.

Plus my storage is full.

Buying a 2nd account was a much less drastic step that got the same effect for me.

Well, I've got 9 PvE characters and I'm only attached to 3(war ranger and ele)

I was thinking of stripping the other 6 and just leaving them with one weapon set and armor, then just leaving them there for occasional boredom and mini-pet farming. I couldn't delete them though, too much time invested.

I have specific uses for some of my characters...warrior is the title mule which is really slow going. Monk is the UW/FoW/Bergen HM farmer(most recently used to farm items and bows for my new favorite char, my ranger)...ele is sitting around waiting for alliance warriors to challenge someone to 1V1...

Necro is pretty much there to SS the underworld when I feel like it, or to help guildies with Vizunah Square mission as an MM...although I can do a better job with my splinter/barrage ranger with Livia as MM and Xandra as explosive growth. Sin...dunno. Shes fun to just mess around with...but nothing specific as most of the good PvP and farm sin skills are nightfall, which I don't have.

Ritualist...was fun for a while and occasionally take to FA, but not often.

After gwen came out I realized that I should focus on one character and thats what I'm doing.
I don't have the heart to delete my other characters which I will play eventually but its not the same as older chapters where I was taking 3 or 4 characters at the same time thru the chapter.

this time around I will do one at a time.

Warrior is my most oldest char. I played proph, NF and Factions whit it. I also used to farm ectos but not anymore(ecto price is rubbish)

I also have Monk(lvl16 survivor) Necro, Dervish, Ele and sin. I mostly play whit Dervish. Necro, ele, war & sin are collecting nice pile of dust.

I Have spent over 700k on all chars and would never ever think about deleting them all..

Haven't deleted mine, but I play 5/6 or so of my time on a single character (ranger) and the rest on my ritualist.

Cutting down to 2 characters was good for me, I focus more, have more fun. I love playing ranger; I chose ritualist as my other option since I wanted a flexible player that could act in a party-support/healing role, but wouldn't have to (can blast/spirit spam). Debating replacing him with a paragon, not sure though; paragon might suit the role better, able to do either party buffing or offense equally well, but I do enjoy ritualists.

Could never delete my ranger - though I'd love to have survivor on her, I know I could have done it had I tried, but since she was born in April 2005 it's just not to be. Not about to re-roll her.

a fiew weeks ago i decided to clear my account a little, so i deleated my young (oldest was less than 3 months old with almost no game time on them)double characters (same proffesions as other higher levels), they were also the characters started on nightfall; for me they didnt work out as well as the ones started on other campaigns.

i have my main, who i spend the most time on and is the most advanced (with campaings, armour, skills, faction), and my others who are all at various stages (including a perma pre), some quite advanced, some not, but i stil wouldnt delite any of them at the moment; even if the aren't ususea alot, they have helped to refill my storage and are another source of farming items and cash.

hmmm....I have 8. Maybe go down to 2. Keep my ranger and my paragon.

That would get rid of a lot of armor, and open up slots. I've played enough that I could pretty much run up a character in a week if I wanted it, anyway.

It would freshen up the game, as well.

Make that my ranger and necro. GG with the idea, OP.

They're just characters in a game, after all, guys. -sniff- I'll always have the memories -sniff-

Hmmm - got me thinking. I spend the vast majority of the time with my ele. My baby warrior gets out and about as well. Maybe it's time to revive my 2 year old mesmer or finally get my ranger to lvl 20......

You're going to regret it when 3rd birthday minipets come out. Thats the only reason why I havent deleted all my other characters is for the minipets.

These days I only play on my Ritualist and my Elementalist, mainly the Ritualist though. But I would not delete my Ranger, Necro, Dervish or Warrior, because I might suddenly realize I need them.

I also once purged my characters, once I figured out what profession I wanted most for PvE. Wasn't a total purge though... I saved a "Birthday Present Collector" character, and of course the one who was the profession I liked. GW has never been so enjoyable

Ranger, Ele, Monk collecting dust.

Recently deleted my 1 year old dervish.

I'm playing my warrior now 7/8 of the time. Bought him some fow armor, some nice equipment and i'm really enjoying playing him although he is already about 27 months old.

I'm one of these persons who would become paranoid and whatever if i have to bring more than 2 chars through a chapter. I just can't do it...

I once did that.

To be honest I'm contemplating it right now. I started to work my ele through EotN, but stopped, realizing that I don't like any of the ele stuff there. Started bringing my warrior through instead, but got bored of hack/slashing. So now I'm undecided on what to do. I no longer have a character of my favorite profession (Ranger), but to start one would mean I'd almost certainly have to strip one or some of my other characters to be able to afford stuff for it. So I was just thinking of stripping my chars, deleting them, and making a ranger...and taking it through all the campaigns. Of course...that would mean deleting a legendary survivor warrior with Vabbian armor. >.> So I dunno. :/

I can't see myself wiping my entire account that way. I have removed characters at one time or another. Most recently was a lvl 3 rit that was almost a year old. I got completely sidetracked with other characters and never did anything with her. So when I decided I needed some experience with rits and more skills unlocked for my rit heroes I went back. Didn't like the way she looked so I wiped her and made a new character with the same name, but a different face and hairdo.

I find myself playing different characters in different classes in different campaigns, just to make sure I don't get tired of playing the same one every day. Kinda fun having to shift gears constantly and deciding which to advance to other chapters or GW:EN.

OMG, you just got me in the delete happy mood... :|
Must. Resist. Urge. *fingers twitch*
I have 8 PVE chars. No main char, but this week I resolved to choose one as my main. So far the contenders are my Necro and my Ranger.

I go on a character creation spree every ~2 weeks, and sometimes I feel it'd be nicer to concentrate on only one character. Maybe if I'll get that first r3 Survivor I might focus on him more.

Must resist the urge to purge..

Oh my! The OVLY player out there with a Dervish a year old and deleted it. =O

You guys should jsut buy more slots, Instead of deleting. Try playing a character thru without transfering anything. Its so tempting its hard.

I wish I could purge my account, and focus on one character. Still taking my derv slowly through the storyline of GW:EN. It's expensive to gear up all those heroes, but it's very nice to be able to play a given role when guildies ask for it. Cheers to you.

Wouldn't a more prudent action of just been to sell their stuff? I mean you said you're only playing one character now, so its not like you have any use for all the now "empty" character slots... Should of left them and every year you could login and grab a present. Not to mention you may find yourself wanting to play an ele/warrior/insert class here someday and will now have to start over.

But hey, its your account do what makes ya happy.

playing one character : P so lucky.

the only reason my chars got any wealth at all is because they all helped each other farm their stuff at certain times before those farms got nerfed.
